Nelson Mandela said:
“It (sports) has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.”
Sports and outdoor activities are very attractive activities for many young people. It is fun to do, brings you together with friends and is healthy for your body. Sport is not only about winning of competition. Sport can bring people together and help individuals to learn.
