dual sports are, it is an indoor game, there’s no need of a bigger space for this sport unlike Lawn Tennis

movement. There is over 100 recognized Table Tennis as Parasport, sport for PWD’s. Table Tennis has a
low risk of injuries because there are almost no jumps and no body contact. You have your own reserved
space to move within. You move your feet all the time, but only with small steps and with few sharp
turn-arounds. If you are serious with the warm-up and the stretching, there should be no or very few
problems with injuries.

2. How does the sport develop your physical and mental health?

Table Tennis might not look physically demanding, you might not develop strong muscles or a
great lung capacity by playing Table Tennis alone. But it is good for your heart and your balance,
movability, and agility. Besides, if you get serious with this sport, you’ll soon realize that you’ll need to

opponent and you have to train your brain to know how fast the ball is coming your way, so you can line
up the perfect hit. It keeps your brain sharp. According to “Alzheimer’s Weekly” reports a clear increase
in motor skills and cognitive awareness from playing table tennis, after a series of preliminary clinical
studies in Japan found that table tennis clearly increases the flow of blood to the brain, and could
possibly even prevent dementia.

WRITTEN WORK OUTPUT
ESSAY:

Question:

“Being the best is not good enough. Try harder. Just make sure having fun is a central component of
striving for excellence”

How will you reflect your answer to the quotation above in your real-life situation?

I’m just this simple person whose enjoying life. At first, I thought I was happy of want I am right
now. I’m just happy of want life has given to me. Then I realize that I am getting older, life is getting
more serious. Some of my friends already achieve their dreams. They have their houses, cars, they travel
a lot and then here I am wasting my time doing non-sense things. So, I decided to go outside of my
comfort zone and start doing the right thing little by little. I decided to go back to school and start a little
business to support myself.

Most of us are comparing ourselves to others. Sometime we ask why we don’t have what they
have. We get insecure to the things we might have, sometimes we are just afraid to try. Life is like a
game; it’s about losing or winning. They say it’s okay to lose, you will learn lessons from losing but you
need to strive harder to win. If you have goals in life, you need to focus on winning to achieve it. Don’t
lose hope. It maybe hard but if you really want to as long us you are happy and enjoying it, go for it. Be
the excellent version of who you are. Make yourself proud.
