        abstract = {A comprehensive perspective of education is essential for physical, mental, and social development, in which sports play a vital role. Sports not only strengthen physical health but also help develop discipline, self-control, teamwork, leadership skills, and moral values. In today’s digital age, where children spend most of their time on mobile phones, laptops, and video games, physical activities are increasingly neglected. This directly affects their health, concentration, and mental alertness. Therefore, making sports compulsory in the school curriculum and encouraging children to participate in them is essential not only for their physical development but also for their overall personality development. Sports boost self-confidence, instill a spirit of perseverance, and create the ability to maintain balance in life. Hence, education should not be limited to theoretical knowledge but must be linked with practical experiences to ensure holistic development of students. Additionally, sports help students develop a competitive spirit and tolerance, enabling them to face life’s challenges with confidence and patience.},
