Want to be a real gamechanger? Find out how sport transcends its boundaries to make the earth a much better place.

There are a lot of good reasons why people love sports. Seeing your favourite club play every week can stir up feelings from pleasure to dissatisfaction to sheer joy. It creates a group of sports enthusiasts who can speak about the newest players or practices. But perhaps most crucially, sport inspires universal values such as determination and excellence. It provides a space constructed on meritocracy. Anybody can compete if they are great enough. This way, it unites people around nations. In the modern age, it is most likely you’ll see players from across the world put on the jersey and represent your team. From these shared ideals, you can see how sport has driven athlete activism who stand up for various kinds of justice. In current news, a football star gained widespread attention for tackling England children rights over free school food. Supporting the most vulnerable in modern society demonstrates how professional athletes can make a difference beyond the pitch.

Lots of people associate sports athletes with the unbelievable things they do on the pitch. You will normally remember the fantastic goals they’ve scored or trophies they’ve won throughout their careers. Yet outside their athletic exploits, there are so many sports stars who have have made an even bigger difference off the pitch. It is now typical to see male and female athlete activists make their voices heard during their career. Since of course, they have a great platform where they can spread awareness about issues going on on earth. While some athletes become rich and well-known, so many did not start out that way. They may often use their previous experiences to subsequently inform their work as current athlete activists. Maybe most famously, there was an international sports boycott in support of South Africa human rights several decades ago. These activities from athletes and athletic bodies continue to inspire people to fight for change today.

Professional athletes can use their platform to raise awareness of the work various organisations and charitable groups do to support worthwhile causes. These charitable groups can help better lives such as in the reform efforts made during the upcoming global football competition. With increased scrutiny over Qatar labor rights, the country then took steps to improve their current working conditions. This might have inspired former and current pros to go there. It is an excellent example showing the capacity of sports to really better lives all over the world.
