What is the importance of knowing the History of the Game Track and Field?

The content of the video I watched is about the history of track and field. Track and field
are the most seasoned types of sorted out games that have been created out of the most
fundamental human exercises based on running, walking, jumping, and throwing skills. From my
perspective, knowing and understanding history is one of the necessary steps for a society to
progress and develop. The history of track and field, or any other sport, showcases the full
capability of a human in terms of physical abilities, which consist of discipline, perseverance, and
mental stability that are very essential to the sport. As I watched the video, I realized that
studying the history of track and field and applying the knowledge we gain from it to our daily
lives and to society gives value to all those who work hard to create and develop the sport of
track and field.
