Weekly Results

Well-being and Sport

Throughout the registration process for summer sport we asked our students the question “How important do you think sport is to your well-being?”

The results indicate that over 88% of Secondary School students rank sport as a very important contributor to their well-being. The value that sport brings to an individual’s well-being is often misunderstood or underrated. Often we can link our status of well-being directly to our reduction of stress. Meaning that low stress equals high wellbeing, or vice versa. However, our level of well-being can often be attributed to how well we cope with or manage our stress levels. Sport by its very nature places individuals and groups in stressful moments. Physical stress, emotional stress and mental stress are all part of the games we compete in. These types of stress are not necessarily bad. Stress has gained a fairly poor reputation as a provocateur of poor mental health or having a negative effect on ones well-being, when in fact stress and training the body to cope with stress can increase our well-being. Sport forces you to apply yourself fully to a task at hand, letting go of other concerns outside of that specific moment. Martin Seligman refers to this as a “state of flow”. This can stimulate the release of endorphins, increasing our mood and potentially our outlook on life while reducing our levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body. It is in this regard that sport is a vital contributor to positive well-being, as reflected by our own students in the survey. It is always important to remember the benefit of participating in sport will always outweigh the benefit of not participating in sport, no matter age, gender or cultural differences.
