Sports development now has become the main concern to all government levels globally as they attempt high levels of involvement for their respective nations and elite level of sports success. Sports development has now becoming standardised as part of the sports ruling bodies business, where sports development has become fixed in the governing bodies anatomy and operations.

Increasing those who are allowed to participate in sport competitions increase the poll of people who actively participate in the government. Champions make their mark upon the history of their culture and increase their spectators involvement in society.
The amount of children participating in competitive sports has been on a steady decline in the past decade. Between the years of 2008 and 2013, the total number of children participating in competitive sports has dropped by approximately 2.6 million.

Competitive sports involve sports where competition is encouraged, and where winning is more important than anything else.

Relating this concept to athletics seems a bit perplexing at first, since government and sports usually do not go hand in hand. But in order to display bureaucracy’s influential role in athletics, it is vital to understand where the connection even began.

One positive effect of youth sports is that they help teach athletes important and long lasting lessons to have during their life.
