Whether or not you follow surfing, the recent event that took place at Snapper Rocks in Queensland will bring a tear to anyone’s eye. Aussie pro surfer Owen Wright took out the final against his good mate and fellow Ripcurl team rider Matt Wilkinson. Having come out on top against surfing legend Kelly Slater before, this might not seem like the greatest feat – but there is much more to the story.
Wright had been out of the WSL for all of 2016 after suffering a serious injury surfing Hawaii’s Pipeline in 2015. Last year was spent recovering mentally and physically all the while not knowing if he’d ever surf again. To make such a remarkable come back and show such pure dedication, perseverance and courage is why we love sport so much. It’s inspirational stories like these that make our job just that much easier to do day in and day out.
We create so you can perform and inspire.
Something you might not know though, Scientists have found that even being a sports FAN can be good for your emotional, psychological and social wellbeing.
- It builds camaraderie with friends when you cheer for the same team or play on a team together. It is a network, a place you belong.
- Admiratoin of players or favourite athletes can inspire your own athleticism and exercise routines.
- It provides entertainment and stress relief through socialising and the excitement of following the sport/athletes.
- It builds traditions and connections through with likeminded people who might have nothing else in common.
- It creates a community
Epic fandom is linked to higher levels of well-being and general happiness with one’s social life, as well as lower levels of loneliness and alienation.
Being a fan of a sports team can also be a deeply rooted heritage that connects you to others across time, transcending the barriers that divide people generationally, (Professor Alan Pringle, Ph.D. Pringle specializes in mental health nursing at the University of Nottingham).
There’s really no way to fault it.
