Overview

Sports is a source of happiness that everyone can relate to. This course is a liberal education course. It does not rigidly adhere to dry and dull concepts, judgments and logic, rather, it is based on what people are interested in and teaches the relationships between sports and society, politics, economics, culture, life, and the future in the form of lectures on special topics. The biggest feature of these lectures is that they are interesting and have seven excellent lecturers.

About this course

These lectures have five special features: first is fun, as fun is the highest state we aspire to in life; second is knowledge, as without knowledge, there is no real value in life; third is extendibility, extending from the classroom to the extracurricular, extending points of knowledge out to areas of knowledge; fourth is exploratory, encouraging students to learn with questions: the trickier the question, the deeper we have to think; fifth is openness, as sports is open to everyone. These lectures also explain why “sports is so fascinating” from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The lecturers in these lectures are a group of people who love sports and reading. First of all, they are a group of people with stories and members of the “Studio of Great Teachers in Hubei” (provincial level); second, they are a group of interesting people, who mostly possess experience in journalism and are masters of storytelling. As for the “two passions”, one is the passion for sports; they are all super sports fans; the other is the passion for learning.

In a word: the three-in-one combination of “build, use, and learn” in these lectures will help listeners to love sports, understand sports, and play sports.
