"Athletics refresh the body, tranquilize and enlighten the mind, and develop moral character."
"Sports, in general, have had an important and estimable function in life and will inevitably in future be regarded as the indispensable factor for intellectual and moral growth."

Hajir,
About 20 years ago, I started to compile a list of Bahá'ís involved in professional sport. At the time I was managing a pro soccer team here in Australia. It might be worth someone younger pursuing this again. Being involved in sport is a good field for teaching.
Young players at our club were encouraged to see that I didn't drink at post-game dinners.
