Success in sports presupposes education, mental and intellectual, it presupposes knowledge of the rules and all endogenous and exogenous factors that participate or contribute in the success of an effort.
It needs also sharpness, perception of running situation, estimation of the particular phase in live time therefore it is not accidental that athletes of high records are many times distinguished for their high indicator of intelligence ( Ι.Q ).
Sports teach an athlete thoroughly, inaccessible virtues that shape the character, virtues that find application and beyond sports. Sports not only do not collide with standard education, but also supports it. Sports and education place people at the center. When there is a conflict, it means that somebody has placed his priorities wrong.
The opinion that sports are an integral element of education was born in Greece. Over the years this opinion, was transferred to the rest of the world and was established in many educational systems of foreign countries.
