amateur athletics

Amateur athletics refers to sports activities where individuals compete mainly for the love of the sport rather than for monetary gain. Participants often train rigorously and compete at various levels, from local events to international competitions, such as the Olympics. Unlike professional athletes, amateurs typically do not receive significant financial compensation for their performance. The focus in amateur athletics is on personal achievement, skill development, and sportsmanship. This field encourages participation across all ages and abilities, emphasizing inclusivity and the value of physical fitness, teamwork, and community involvement.
