The Value Of A Sports Club For Seniors

It helps to keep you in the present

Today someone asked me what I do at the Sports Club.

In New Delhi, we have several Sports clubs. The government conceived this idea to have sports clubs in different parts of Delhi. This plan was made when the Asian Games were hosted by India in 1982.

Of course, a special Asian Games Village was created and the most beautiful sports club was called the Siri Fort Complex.

I enjoy going there. If for nothing else the wide open spaces make me feel happy.

I used to play several games like badminton, hockey, throwball, and volleyball but now for several years, I have not played. Still, there is a thrill of watching others play live even if I do not follow their scores.

There are other things to see and that is the energy of the players and the focus on their faces. They are determined and they carry on. They are oblivious to others. They are in the present and merged and centered on their game and how they are competing with the other players.

I am a member of the club. It is neat, clean, and orderly and has a wonderful walking track. It has yoga, meditation, Taichi, and chess too.

I enjoy the walking track a lot. While walking I am in a dream world. I am completely immersed in my thoughts.

Sometimes my thoughts are about spirituality, gratitude, and positivity and I am doing walking meditation while exercising.

If I have a friend with me we discuss life, philosophy, and many other experiences that we face in our daily lives.

A sports club has value for everyone. For young people there are games. Children have a children's park, special tennis for kids and swimming too.

I feel it has the greatest benefit for seniors.

What is the value for seniors?

The seniors are walking. What I saw touched my heart. I saw seniors walking, and some were whistling because they were happy in the open expanse and watching other people.

Their energy levels felt fresh and happy. There was cool air. They looked at some seniors who were walking with a stick and apparently felt that others were in the same situation and had problems of a knee or with a leg and they were able to walk better.

One set the example and the other took the challenge. They felt cheerful looking at each other.

In the walking tract, there is soft music which adds to the romance in the air. Even if people are sick they look at others and give a cheerful and happy wave. They all dress well and it is a treat to watch them cope with their physical problems.

They may have physical problems but their mental health is good as they enjoy the fresh air outdoors. When they finish their walk they sit at the cafe both in the outside and inside space and chat. Others read a book and feel delighted with the chatter of the young people playing.

The garden is full of flowers. All around the walking track it is full of gorgeous colors of flowers. Who will not be happy looking at them? Nature is amazing. There are so many colors of flowers.

My friend Sandy who went along with me found the sports club so beautiful that she asked me to take a picture of her showing a flower bed around the walking track and a tennis court.

She felt invigorated and she applied to be a member too. She told me she wanted to come here as often as she could to feel the positive energies around her.

What are the takeaways?

🌹Open yourself to new possibilities. A sports club is not only for the young. In life, some places are meant for both youngsters and seniors even if the seniors are less mobile.

🌹There is always something to do for the seniors. They can walk, sing, dance, do yoga, or meditate and chat with the kids. They can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or read and bask in the sun during the winter. They feel less isolated and more wanted as a valued member of society.

🌹The young people learn from the older generation and accept them and talk to them. In this way, they maintain balance and good mental health when they have less to do and more free time on their hands.

To wrap up

There are several life lessons to be learned from a sports club.

A sports complex is an excellent place to relax the mind and be happy. It is also a great place to be energetic and play vigorous games. You have the choice of both kinds of environment.

There is something to do for everyone and seniors should not be deterred from going to a sports club.

The value of a sports club is thus to offer to the people to live in the present with their problems and yet enjoy life and have good mental and physical health.

In the sports club, I feel alive, fresh, relaxed, and happy. The gentle breeze, the lovely fresh air, and the happy voices of people make me feel cheerful and active. It is a place where positivity thrives for me.
