**7. Conclusions**

In closing, sport is a simulation of life representative of the grander experiment that is "life's the big tournament" or all the smaller interactions interacting to produce our overall experience. In other words, sports are practice for the "real-world." Within the limited reality of sport, people can develop traits that have been shown to improve well-being and bring them closer to their potential. There is ample evidence that the abovementioned traits associated with PERMA, self-determination theory, and the core self-evaluation theory can all be developed through sport and the sport potential model then applied elsewhere to enhance people's quality of life in other areas. It is for this reason that the researcher highly recommends sport as a mechanism for personal development and reaching human potential.
