Men, Sports And Balance

The jogger, the basketball player, the swimmer, the biker. I could go on and on with what guys do in their spare time. The fact is that most guys like participating in some kind of physical activity. Some guys head for the gym and get business done then go home to the little lady or meet the current girlfriend somewhere.

Men not only need physical challenges, they need to bond and compete with other men. It is a manly thing they do and women should encourage and support this. It is vital to their makeup and personalities. They need healthy outlets for the aggression and stress that cannot be expressed in our tame, politically correct society. Sports provide this and men need to take advantage of physical activity so they are well balanced.

Unfortunately, there are the men who go overboard with sports. Like anything, too much can have a negative impact. Guys with kids and a wife cannot take off for two weeks on the road to play baseball unless they are professionals. Guys with serious relationships also have a responsibility to the women they are involved with. They need to acquire the right balance between their choice of physical activity and their choice to be a man of character with the women in their lives.
