When it comes to success in sports, some hold that the physical strength is vital, while others assume that the mentality is extremely relevant. As for me, my perspective is that the physical strength and the psychological attitude are equally important in obtaining the success in sports.

There is no denying that the physical fitness and the mental attitude are indispensable for individuals and teams to be successful in sports because the fittest and strongest individuals and teams with positive mental states are more likely to excel their rivals in the competition.

Individual sports such as swimming, running, and cycling and so on require sportsmen to take physical training and psychological training before athletic contests, during which participants not only compete  physical conditions including muscular strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination and so forth but also mental attitudes like patience, persistence, and perseverance etc. A wonderful example is marathon, a harsh test of endurance, in which marathoners are those people with excellent physical and mental qualities.

Besides individual sports, team sports are also demanding for athletes in the physical stamina and the steady mentality. It is reported that sports psychologists spend time with professional athletes encouraging them approach team competitions with a more positive mindset. Actually, highly competitive games are physically and emotionally draining largely. Accordingly, only those fittest and strongest players with the positive mental attitude can function efficiently and effectively in high-intensity and high-density ball games, hence they hold the best possibility of winning the games.

All in all, the physical fitness and the mental attitude are two essential prerequisites for individuals and teams to achieve the greatest success in sports.
