Why do you think sporting spirit is important?
Sporting spirit is important because it promotes fairness, respect, and enjoyment in games.
It teaches players to accept both victory and defeat gracefully, which builds character and emotional resilience.
When players have sporting spirit, they compete honestly without cheating, respect their opponents, and focus on doing their best rather than just winning. This creates a positive environment where everyone can enjoy the game.
Sporting spirit also helps players learn from their mistakes, improve their skills, and build lasting friendships through sports.
Without sporting spirit, games become stressful and players may resort to unfair means to win, as Prabhat initially did.
Explanation
The chapter demonstrates the importance of sporting spirit through Prabhat's transformation. Initially lacking sporting spirit, he cheated and felt unhappy despite winning. After learning from Surya's example, he began 'enjoying every moment' and other students said he 'definitely has a great sporting spirit.' The chapter emphasizes that 'what matters is trying to do well, and enjoying every moment.'
