A student should be physically and emotionally robust, & focused to perform well in academics. Incorporating sports in school curriculum can help them to achieve this goal to a great extent. We must understand & accept the fact that, if we want our kids with nerves of steel & muscles of iron, we have to include physical education/activities as an indispensable part of the school curriculum.
