Skills We Get From Playing Sports That Help Us Be Better at Work

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Editor Posted in Self-Improvement, Top Sports Stories, Work and Employment, Work Life .

Throughout the years, many Singaporean athletes have been recognized around the world. In addition to that, Singaporeans are also quite known to be hard workers in their day jobs. It might seem far off, but can we actually find a connection between sports and work? Actually, the answer is yes! Here’s why:

Leadership

One skill that naturally gets developed in sports is leadership. In team games, for example, there will always be that one athlete who stands out when it comes to taking control of the situation for the team. If you develop this skill, you can expect that you can also be a good leader at work. Being able to lead can be a pillar for success. In addition to that, you’ll also be looked up to by your peers.

Teamwork

One of the most common skills between sports and work is the ability to work with others. You’ll have to expect that you’ll be working with a lot of people along the way. In sports, you work with your team to achieve certain goals together. Of course, you will do this at work also. We can develop our teamwork through sports because they teach us not only to move together with others but to know our individual similarities and differences. Understanding this will be a foundation for success whether in the office or at the playing fields.

Respect

When we play sports, we absolutely have to pay respect to our teammates, coaches, the referees, the opponents, and even the spectators. Respect is something that is deeply taught to athletes. When it comes to a job, you’ll have to respect the authorities, your seniors, your co-workers, and your clients. Showing respect displays who you are as a person. This means you are looked upon highly no matter if you’re an athlete or intern at a big company.

Composure

Some of the greater skills developed in sports are composure, self-discipline, and mental toughness. There are times when games can get rough or the pressure is too high. The athlete is expected to power through these situations in a disciplined approach. They are taught that these situations are when they will have to step up to get better. Having this skill when you are already working can also be valuable. When you are faced with stressful, high-pressure situations and you compose yourself well, you can easily get through these challenges.

Dedication

When you are dedicated to your sport or team, you will do anything to get better. You commit yourself to practices and other important tasks. This is an important skill to have at work because its very easy to get distracted. Sometimes we tell ourselves to just give up on the job because it’s too tiring. But when we learn to be dedicated, we have the ability to power through these negative thoughts.

Grounds: What is different about rugby grounds is that it has lines everywhere. Some are dashed some are solid. You need time to be familiar with the grounds. For example the red dashed line is the space from the touch line to the lineout’s front. The purple dashed line on the other hand signifies the minimum distance for restart kicks or kick offs.

Equipment: You only need the ball. Rugby is interesting because of its odd shape. It is not round. With the right knowledge, you will know where the ball is going to bounce so you can catch it.

Players: There will be a maximum of fifteen players in the team and there will be seven substitutes permissible.

Clothing: Of course you need to consider proper clothing. Standard gear includes shorts, socks and boots. The most important item is boots so it is important that you feel comfortable wearing it for optimum playing experience. As to the stud length, it should not exceed more than 21 mm.

Time: There will be two forty-minute halves with ten minutes break.
