Tennis is not the only sport that permeates the famous town of Wimbledon. Many beyond a certain age will remember the 1988 exploits of Wimbledon FC, winning the FA Cup and serving as the high-water mark for football in the region. While the club was unfortunately ripped out of the area and moved to Milton Keynes, football has been returning to the area. AFC Wimbledon has been enjoying one of the most rapid rises in English football history and serves as the inspiration for a new generation of football enthusiasts in the area. That team started out as open trials on Wimbledon common between a group of local amateurs. Take a leaf out of their book and enjoy some new football gear for a summer kick about, made cheaper with voucher codes from brands such as Adidas and Puma.
Regardless of whether you like watching sport or not, you should try to get involved with as much real sport as possible. While going to the gym or jogging may also be excellent for your health, sport provides a challenge that is both highly motivating and fun. If you do decide to take up a new sport, then summer is the time to do it. It’s the perfect time for motivation: the sun is bright and sport is everywhere. It can help you make a genuine life change for the better, if you take after the Wimbledon example, with healthier food and more exercise all part of the season’s trends. Of course, if partaking in sport really isn’t for you, there’s always Wimbledon’s cricket team which serves as a great day out wrapped as a great excuse to have a few beers with your mates. Everyone enjoys sport differently!
