Most intuitively, campus sports can bring benefits to campus in all aspects. The research shows that the school football team can not only get a large number of alumni donations, increase the academic popularity of the campus, attract more applicants and students from the state, but even improve the average "SAT" score of newly admitted students.
The development of campus sports in the United States benefits from the profound understanding of the important role of sports in talent training in American universities. They believe that direct participation in campus sports activities will help students develop good training habits, competitive awareness, self-motivation and binding force during their school days. Even just watching sports events can help students realize the importance of teamwork, personal responsibility and determination. These qualities will shape students into healthy, mature and successful professionals after entering the society in the future.
The team spirit in sports civilization and the loyalty of fans to the team affect the temperament of the campus. For example, the above-mentioned campus not only has various sports teams, but also has a profound and long-standing sports civilization. Whether it is a small community club, the campus not only affects nearby towns, but also spreads all over the state, forming a unique sports civilization.
But in most universities in China, does sports bring us such a sense of belonging? Actually, there is. For example, when I was a freshman, I joined the college football team and participated in the freshman football competition. Although it was the runner-up after all, the first appearance in the final was sluggish and the audience was missing. At that time, the days of playing with teammates were also impressive, but when we left the campus after graduation, these will gradually disappear and become faint marks in our hearts.
The friendship between American campus sports teams will become unforgettable memories and great gains for these students. Even marginal players who sit on the bench and watch the water cooler for a long time can establish deep friendship with coaches and other players during their group training days. Because history is written by a group of people, it has the strongest fetters.
Now we encourage sports. It seems obvious to see many public service advertising slogans on TV, but what does sports mean to you and me? Is it just that you did well in the previous physical education exam? If we insist on considering the national conditions, standards, resource allocation and other factors, what causes such a big difference between Chinese and American campus sports? I think everyone may have their own answers.
Finally, from the perspective of campus, although we have received many advertisements from campus teams in the past, students can easily know the symbols of campus slogans and mascots, so that we can vaguely feel the sports atmosphere depicted on the back of campus without personal experience, and we believe that we can definitely find what sports bring us and stick to it and enjoy it.
