Abstract In the words of Seneca, Epistles "It is exercise alone that supports the spirits and keeps the mind in vigor."

The mental health of children and adolescents has received a great deal of attention about the psychological well-being of the younger generation. Physical education and school sports are essential to promoting mental wellness in this setting. Drawing on a wealth of studies and reports from prestigious institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO), this research explores the tremendous effects of sports on children's mental health. To emphasize the various advantages of sports, it also examines extensive data, including answers from multiple psychologists.

The literature presents diverse perspectives on psychological well-being, contrasting the immediate benefits of athletics such as mood enhancement and increased self-confidence with long-term impacts like resilience, goal setting, and self-discipline. This study particularly emphasizes the Indian context, evaluating the effectiveness of government initiatives in promoting children's mental health. Highlighting the need for collaborative efforts among policymakers, parents, and schools, this paper underscores how sports can cultivate a generation of socially and psychologically resilient individuals.
Ultimately, this research examines various interpretations illuminating the intricate nature of well-being and the myriad ways sports influence mental health.
