Some people argue that to become a successful sportsperson one should have access to modern technology and recent equipment. Whereas others argue that these things are not important for sporting success. I believe that knowing and understanding modern technology and tools is beneficial for sportsperson.
Nowadays automation is everywhere, and nobody can live without it. There are numerous advantages of present-day gears which help the player to be successful. In today’s world, most of the equipment used in athletics is new and technically sound. These modernized devices contribute highly to the result of the game. For example, in cricket, the stumps now have a camera as well as a mic installed in them, which helps in difficult conditions whether the batsman is out or not. Thus, this example shows how vital technology is for the success of a sportsperson.
On the contrary, the traditional methods used in sports can help people develop more skills and motivate them to have accuracy. Also, these state-of-the-art technologies are pricey and most people, groups and organizations in this field are not able to afford them. Rather than using modern gadgets in sports, an athlete should focus on hard work. For instance, recent research has stated that several sports trainees are using technology as a shortcut to be successful. Hence, relying on new tools makes the person less efficient.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that understanding technological modern things and using new machines is beneficial for a sportsperson (but don’t rely on them completely because it still takes hard work to be fruitful.
