<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you play sport? Is it to compete and to win, or is there something more to it than that? Did you know that sport can:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(i)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Be a source of self-affirmation?<\/span><\/span>[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(ii)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Reveal the extent to which humans can truly be said to be free and responsible?<\/span><\/span>[2]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(iii)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Be beautiful in its promotion of a greater harmony and balance in one\u2019s life?<\/span><\/span>[3]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> There will be no mention here of the type of self-motivating confidence speak you would see on a Tony Robbins Show (\u201cYou can do it! You are a special little flower ready to bloom blah blah blah\u201d). This I promise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2<\/span><\/span><\/span> Woohoo! You are not a slave to the deterministic force of physical causality! (This thought may cause you to want to get drunk in celebration. I am willing to overlook this cause and effect relationship) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3<\/span><\/span><\/span> No Buddhist monks (and probably only three of four hippies) will be hurt during this presentation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
