INTRODUCTION
Due to vast reach, unparalleled popularity and foundation of positive value sport is definitely one of the greatest things man has ever created. It’s also a powerful tool that breaks down all the barriers and helps us feel good about ourselves, both physically and mentally. Over the past 10 years, Sports in India had changed fundamentally; we are witnessing a paradigm shift in perception of people towards sports. Earlier, sport was just an extra-curricular activity, today it is not merely a game on field, but more about popularity, fitness, lifestyle that it brings with it. National pride of representing one’s country internationally is incomparable.
As we target to be the third largest global economy, our country is looking for a similar representation in sports which can bring glory to our nation. Realizing this impact has resulted in sporting revolution that has led to formation of 10+ national and international leagues like Indian Premier League (IPL), Pro Badminton League (PBL), International Premier Tennis League (IPTL), Indian Super League (ISL), Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), Pro Wrestling League (PWL) and Hockey India League (HIL) etc. Participants of these events are among richest individuals and highest tax payers of our country. Recent game changing initiatives like ‘Khelo India’ shows the seriousness of the government towards the future of sports in our country.
Why ConnectSports ?
A Social need of the hour
The society unconsciously but always tries to compare different individuals with only one criterion, i.e.
“Academics”.
If a monkey, a horse, an elephant and a fish all studying in the same class, are compared against each other only on one criteria like either climbing, or running fast, or strength, or swimming, then one of them will always look superior over other, and the others will look inferior.
This is what exactly happening in our society. Every child is measured using one criteria and that is of ‘Academic Brilliance’. In a class of 50 students only 10 % of them may possess natural academic acumen, but rest 90% of them are purely pressurized to take on academic path. As a result, the society gets a large number of engineers and other professional degree holders but only a few of them are skilled to take on these professions and flourish in life. Most of them are reverted into various other professions which are available in the socio-economic panorama which might not have been their natural choice.
Some of present challenges that parents are facing now:-
- Our Kids spending too much time on gadgets (like TV, mobile, VR games, videos… etc.). These press serious challenges to their physical and mental health like lack of concentration, irritability, understanding team work, sharing, caring to name a few.
