Sports are organized physical activities requiring skill that are often competitive in nature and designed to increase physical ability while entertaining both participants and spectators. Sports may involve individual contestants competing non-competitively against one another or multiple participants organized into teams competing against each other (as in professional or amateur sports or team sports such as basketball, football, baseball and cricket) against each other or against a clock (as is often the case in team sports such as these). There are various philosophies about what constitutes “sport”, but one universal truth: sports should provide enjoyment and fulfilment on its own merits – no matter the form they take.
Sports has its origins deep within humanity itself. Children have always played sports and games spontaneously, such as running races and wrestling; these informal activities may have marked the dawn of modern sports. More likely, though, its modernization began during Renaissance scientific developments associated with industrial revolution: technicians improved equipment while athletes trained systematically to reach their maximum physical potential; furthermore quantification became popularly accepted during late 17th century and coining of word record appears around this period as well.

Modern sports are distinguished from other leisure activities by the existence of structured competitions with medals and trophies awarded, which set them apart. This distinguishes sports from activities such as golf or cheerleading competitions; yet even activities which don’t strictly fit within this definition such as fishing or dancing could still qualify as “sport”. This especially holds true if they provide its participants with an increase in self-esteem boost – something fishing or dancing don’t normally offer but have similar beneficial results.
Sports journalism involves reporting on a wide variety of sporting events, from major league and local games, college athletics and high school sports to the Olympic Games. Its aim is to give readers all of the information they require about a particular sport – be that basic details like who won or more in-depth information such as strategies used by teams/players/participants to impact outcomes of games.
Writers should select the sport in which they have most expertise when creating sports articles. Reading an article that the reader doesn’t comprehend quickly becomes boring; after just a few paragraphs they might start skimming past what was written about sand wedges or LaRon James’ passing skills! Instead, writers should attempt to bring the reader into the action by providing description as it unfolds as well as including quotes from players and coaches to bring the game alive for readers; in this way the reader feels as if they are taking their turn at bat in World Series or toeing service line at U.S. Open. This type of writing style is known as exposition.
