When did my
passion for watching sports start? I have no idea. I was watching football here
and there especially Manchester United games and the World Cup when I was
young, and of course the four year once Olympics. Besides that, it was nothing
much. I didn't even know how points for tennis were calculated until I was 18.
But before I knew it, I had developed a passion for sports.
I am not much of a sportsman, but watching sports has become one of my greatest passions. Football was the main one, followed by tennis, badminton, basketball or any other sports for that matter. I sit and watch all possible matches. Even when time does not permit me, I would adjust my activities and even sacrifice my sleep, which is very important to me, just to watch sports.
But this passion is slowly turning into a massive stress inducer. I do not know why, but I get too emotionally involved when I am watching a game. Hence I get frustrated very fast. Each time I see Manchester United loose a match, each time I see Roger Federer get beaten and each time any Malaysian team in any sports loses, I go into total frustration. I go into an anger mode, fully frustrated and stress all over me. At time like these even my family members dare not approach me.
Why is this so? Is this overwhelming passion something good? It feels awesome when we win something, "we" meaning the team or person that I support. But the pain of losing is equally great. Be what it may, I don't think I’m going to stop watching sports anytime soon and I never will. Sports is one of the only few passion in life that I have. So, I just have to find a better way to accept defeat.
