Schools and sporting achievements

Schools play an important role in nurturing talents in all fields, including sports. They are the first environment that instills the values and culture of sports in the minds of students. Schools with qualified teachers, instructors or sports coaches can unearth and hone the talents of their students better than others.

Schools are also an important source of providing the sports sector with talented athletes. That is why it is necessary to maintain this role because schools are another family for students as they seek to prepare them to serve the community in several areas, including sports sector, which is in dire need of talented people capable of making achievements.

School environment can make champions in individual and team games, as its impact is strong on students, especially when there are school competitions, or there is an opportunity for students to practice their talents in other environments, such as clubs and other sports institutions.

It is not possible to develop local sports in a way that satisfies our aspirations if schools abandon the responsibility of cultivating young people's talents. Therefore, strong bridges must be built between schools and the sports environment, because young people mature in schools, and their talents also mature as they grow.

Neglecting sports in schools or not giving it the due attention it deserves cam have negative consequences for the local sports sector, which already suffers from a lack of success in many external competitions.

School sports supervisors also play a vital role in developing students' skills by training them, including them in sports competitions, and enhancing their competitive spirits.

When sports students acquire important information in school about sports under the supervision of certified specialists, they will be well prepared for professionalism, especially after they learn about the importance of the physical, the psychological and the moral aspects, as well as nutrition, health and the rest of a player's strength elements.

When young players get used to correct sports habits, these habits will grow with them when they become professionals. That's why it is important to have athletes equipped with all the basic knowledge that helps them make achievements.

        In order to attain success and embrace glory, it is necessary to discover the sports potentials and capabilities  of talented students in schools from the beginning in order to develop skills to reach the podiums of triumph, and raise the UAE flag fluttering high in all sports competitions.

        The General Authority of Sports has recently approved the UAE Sports Federation for School and University Education Institutions, and this will help discover and refine school talents and exploit them for the benefit of Emirati sports. We hope that our desired goal to make never-ending achievements will materialize.
