LIFESTYLE CHANGE

Your lifestyle includes any choice or action you make that influences your life in some small way. Sport & Fitness is an essential lifestyle change and is very fundamental to the continued development of young women. The skills acquired by the exposure to lifestyle change contribute to the holistic development through which candidates learn the importance of key values such as honesty, discipline, teamwork, fair play, and respect for themselves and others,

It is a known fact that involvement and commitment to sports and fitness teach young women how to deal with competition and competitive situations with dignity and grace as well as how to cope with both winning and losing. These learning aspects highlight the impact of sports & fitness on one’s social and moral development in addition to physical skills and abilities.

It also teaches young women how they deal with adversity. This is why Sports & Fitness plays a critical part in the Miss World system.
