In the beginning I thought it was a strange phrase because for me there is no reason for playing volleyball or running or working out other than the fact that its a rush to do well and it's a great way to release aggression. But those are reasons in themselves for why sports were created. Most people if not everyone has a competitive drive, whether it's in sports or academics or whatever the case may be. Everyone as a need to excel at something. And I think that's the reason sports began because those that did not have the yearning to excel in academics and felt a need to compete did it physically.
