Life is filled with ups and downs, with many wins and many losses along the way. How we learn to cope with it and learn from it will hugely impact our quality of life. Nothing reflects this better than a sports field.

Team sports, working in teams, strategy plus physical agility; helps in build bonds, creates conflicts, handling of conflict- “This is a very powerful tool/lesson that we learn from sports”. Building strategies and working in teams help to work under one goal that leads to victory. This process teaches to rely on one another and cultivates deep bonds. This develops a leadership quality inside students and build self-confidence and improves personality.

Students want outside-class experience in sports which hold a very important place now a days. Focused only on academics is not enough. A healthy mind is dependent on a healthy body. Physical fitness leads to mental clarity which helps in better academic performance. Engaging in sports helps to develop inner discipline and reduces stress/anxiety. This ultimately helps in better academic results.

In modern education sports as electives are vanishing away fast whereas it should be provided. Instead of rotation through sports every week or two, full term sports commitment is needed to be listed for students to reach an advanced level. When a game is played under pressure traits like patience, teamwork, and grit are built naturally. This turns the playground into a classroom where a student's personality is shaped far more effectively than through a textbook alone.

Neglecting sports may not only give results; Only academics is not the answers-neglecting sports for studies or academics is a mistake. This is like a block in a student's physical and social development. Solitary focusing on studies and neglecting sports can create a negative imbalance that can affect student's long-term well-being. Studies and sports these two things are interlinked so neglecting sports can act as an obstacle in students’ academic performance. The issue is in the short run can budget be diverted from core academic activities. This is a very practical point to include, for proper sports program in the Schools and Universities a structured budget is required. Along with budget expert/qualified coaches and advanced equipments is also needed. Without proper allocation of finance, keeping the students physically and mentally fit is unachievable.

The reason why more online learning is happening, future maybe great AI learning, but sports is impossible to digitize. Along with digital learning students’ future might be good but including sports in academic the future is great." A future built only on digital learning is bright, but one that includes sports is brilliant. One more point to be realized is that learning can be downloaded but we cannot download physical health or the feeling of being on a team. The sports infrastructure can become a USP that is an Infrastructure students cannot get outside the campus. Investing in unique sports facilities creates a competitive/powerful advantage that distinguish one academy from others. A secure environment where students play with their peers. Sports infrastructure to be planned next to the classroom that helps saving time. A strategic and disciplined training place which cannot be found elsewhere.

Therefore, “sports infrastructure development is essential for promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle among Indian university students”.
