2016 Rio Olympics just got over with silver
and a bronze medal named India on it. It is a matter of pride for us Indians to
have won 2 medals as it is a ‘game’ and the result is on destiny and hard work
of the players. But why is United States on the first position having in all 121
medals i.e. 46 gold medals, 37 silver medals and 38 bronze medals, why?
This holds a small reason which is a drawback
for the Indians as they consider Physical Training or Physical Education as a
subject and not a sport which has to be “physically” done.
For us, learning and getting good marks
makes you capable for the ‘understanding’ of the sport but in consideration
with other countries, they prefer to get trained and not get good marks and
during the process of getting trained, learn about the particular sport.
Information is necessary but makes no
sense if the students know the dimensions of the ground but not know how to
play that sport.
This is where other countries take an edge over us.
This tradition is from the school days
which said, “You would not be able to go to the ground to play, unless and until
your book is complete”. Where the situation should be like “It makes no difference
if you wrote the notes or no, but makes a difference if you did not understand
how to play the sport. This is development.”
“Kheloge kudoge toh banoge kharab, padhoge
likhoge toh banoge navaab.” (“You will become great if you study, but you will destroy your future
if you play”
In what way will these P.T notes help?
“Physical training should contain more of
physical activities and not more of training for good handwriting”
-Manav.
We’ll win more medals
at Olympics when our P.T. teacher stops using P.T. period for teaching lessons
from the books.”
The
line says it all…
