A: These days, a number of major sports competitions are taking place around the world and are broadcast on TV. Some think these events prompt people to do sports activities. Even though sporting events of high caliber, such as the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Games, are helping to popularize sports, there are still more ways for people to get motivated, in my opinion.

On the one hand, those major sports tournaments, indeed, attract millions of people, playing a crucial role in leading people to sports. We often are prone to wanting to do what we see on TV screens as the tournaments create a more engaging sporting atmosphere for viewers. Often the impact is so great that it can even bring those leading a sedentary lifestyle to action. Yet, I am not sure if these events alone can keep everyone motivated long enough.

One of the most effective methods would be the provision of sports facilities by governments giving the public access. Take Brazil; the prevalence of football pitches around the country makes the sport more appealing. Sometimes individuals can also become a source of motivation for others, enticing their friends or family members to join a football match; for example, it is harder to reject the offer. We tend to do activities others around us do.

In conclusion, the mentioned attracting events used to be held once every several years, which is not enough to keep folks motivated all the time. Instead, mere yet constant encouragements can come in handy. Thus, I believe that people and opportunities around us would have a more noticeable impact in the long run.
