Introduction ; Interest (Sports)

I'm Heinz Kristian Buenaventura Nicolas, 16 years of age, born on December 2, 1990. I graduated from Sacred Heart Academy-Pasig and I'm now taking up BS Business Administration Major in Management in De La Salle University-Canlubang. Basketball is one of my passions in life, that is why I chose the category of sports. Here is a brief definiton and history of it.

Sports are activitities that is governed by a set of rules, specialized equipment, precise timing, measuring and scoring, spectators ,and coverage by various media. It commonly refers to activities were the physical capabilities of the competitor are the primary determiner of the result of the competition itself. The term is also used to other activities such as mind sports and motor sports where mental capabilities are the primary attributes. Because also of sports, some people are engaged into gambling where money is at stake.

Sports began the first time a person used both physical and mental capabilities under recreational conditions. "Sport could well have been fishing or hunting for pleasure or merely engaging in a playful demonsration of physical prowess. Modern sports, however, are often thoroughly organized. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Sumerians practiced Wrestling as a sport about 5,000 years ago. The ancient Olympic Games, first recorded in 776 BC, could be called the birth of organized sports."
