Playing a game seems to be fun only when people win the game because winning a game accompanies with happiness and a sense of accomplishment. However, in my point of view, only winning a game doesn't create a fun or joy to players. That’s because people can get an enjoyment from other factors as follows.
First of all, people can be fun through a sense of comradeship with their friends or colleagues regardless of the results of a game. Especially, soccer or baseball cannot play alone. The players of there kinds of games need to combine perfectly with their team members. These cooperation and harmony create a sense of comradeship which let players be fun and joy while they are losing. Guus Hiddink is a famous director of soccer in the world. He took our director of our country team in 2002. At that time, he only emphasized on the important of exciting a game with their colleague regardless of the game score. This thing make people a fun every game.
In addition, we are able to feel a delight from the analysises of the causes why the game is not winning. Our skills for a game would be increased from these studies. As a results the improved our skills generate the happiness due to the expectation for the future winning a game. For example, the team members of Manchester United which is a famous soccer club in the United Kingdom are always smiling while they are playing on ground even though they didn’t win a EPL(England Premier League) prize because they learned many factors from the season and their technical skills were improved. Also, this learning creates the expectation for the winning a EPL on next season.
In brief, winning a game doesn’t always make people be happy. Though the game is not wined, we can acquire other benefits which stimulate people to be fun such as a warm sense between players and the improvement of their skills. Therefore, I strongly believe that though be defeated a game, we can find a joy from other elements. |
