Stamina
I want to focus on "take care of yourself " and "summit fever" from the viewpoint of sports.
Firstly, I will show the imporatnce of managing the condition for keeping stamina. As a sportsman, I always concerning about my stamina. Of course, running and practice is necesarry to keep and gain the stamina. However, keep in good health is also important to maintain the stamina durning the practice or game. I think keeping good condition for a game is also part of practice for sportsman. If a player can't sleep or eat enough before the game, certainly, he can't exercise his competence sufficiently. I even, durning the game, eat something to keep the stamina. And also, immediately after the game, I ingest protein to cure the injured muscle. The player who can't manage condition by oneself is not a good player even if the player has the great competence.
Next, "Summit fever"
"Summit fever" is the psychological phenomenon that mountaineer can only concentrate on reaching the summit and all else fades from consciousness. In this situation, They can completly lose sight of their physical limits. It is very dangerous for our health. This psychological phenonmenon happen in the scene of sports game frequently. For example, the marathon runner, they don't think anything except goal. Even if they realize the limits of their ability, they keep running beyond limitation. It is true that cling to the goal or victory is important for sportsman, but it is too dangerous for our health and future. In fact, my friend lost the sight of limitation durning the baseaball game to win, after the game, he can't throw the ball the pitcher any more. It was pity that ruin his baseball life for one game. Therefore, taking care of oneself is necessary for spotsman.
