As the prosperity in the sporting industry has translated into a rise in the population of sportsmen, it also arouses debates around which factor is what the victory of the sport hinges on, physical fitness or mental wellness. In my view, only by the perfect combination of the two factors can individuals or teams ensure their success in the sport.

The physical advantage plays an overwhelming role in sportsman’s performance. To win a game, a sportsman requires not only a strongly-built physique but also a skillful use of certain muscle. Thus, athletes with better body-control are thus prone to succeed because they struggle to bring out the best state of their bodies in competition. For example, the swimmers with better lung’s capacity and all-round muscle are more likely to outperform other competitors.

The well-prepared mentality also remains as equally essential for a well-fit participants in sports. Despite having a well-worked body, the sportsmen still have a long way for their victory unless they are equipped with stronger psychology. With great willpower, fine sportsmen can be top-notch winners because they always stick to the end and come up with wise strategies in any fierce competition, regardless of how exhausted they are.

Given that physical and mental factors both matter to the athletes, personally speaking, champions in any sport categories excel others physically and mentally. While a fittest and strongest sportsman sees no worry in his physical competitiveness, an extra advantage at his mental attitude would add brilliance to his performance, making him a top-ranked player.

By and large, on the prerequisite of the physical fitness, mental wellness is also an essential factor that contributes to the victory in the sport. The sportsmen or sport-teams should lay particular emphasis on these interconnected aspects to approach the victory.
