What is mentally fit for sport mean?

Answer 1

Being mentally fit for sport means being mentally prepared to cope with the demands of the sport on your mind and emotions.

Sport places demands on the mind for concentration, emotional stability, leadership, communication, and other skills.

At some point we all see the sport player who loses his temper with others, acting in a way that is destructive and not constructive to relationships with other players. One must act like a gentleman in order to be a true team-player and a leader.

Sports require a good deal of focused watching and concentration while waiting to make a next move or execute a strategy. Concentration is an element of intelligence that is very important in sports.

Swimming requires its own special focus from the mind, as does Ju-Jitsu or Wrestling.

Basketball is fast-paced and requires intricate teamwork. Baseball requires a good deal of reading other people's intentions. Each sport is slightly different but they all share some common demands.

There are many other examples, but generally being mentally fit for sport means being prepared to cope well with the demands of particular sports. It's when you feel you can do that particular sport even if you cant but at least you try.
