The definition of what a sport actually is, gets interpreted in many different ways. Many say that a sport is only a sport if it requires a team and physical activity. Which brings the question as to why golf and cheerleading are considered sports? Golf and Cheerleading are two sports that many people would argue are not due to the fact that neither require a team, and golf doesn't require physical activity. Though they both lack a few qualities, both activities include competition. It's hard for people to accept things that dont make sense in there mind but gymnastics and golf are just as much of sports as football and soccer.
A sport is something you yourself loves, something you find joy in. Wheather it be Chess or Baseball, your hobby is your sport. When trying to decide on wheather or not an activity is a sport ask yourself three questions. Do you have fun participating?, Does it cause you to challenge yourself?, and ¨Does the activity make you proud of yourself? If those three questions are all answered with a yes, than you are playing a sport. A common wonder is why it is more important that we challenge ourselves rather than our opponents. There is a saying i live by, and if your hobby allows you to achieve it than it is 100% a sport. ¨The competition is not against your opponent, it is against the voice in your head saying you can't and proving it wrong¨
