It is only the exercise of the will that confers any worth on the exercise of physical strength, inasmuch as an exercise of the will can increase the power of a man's reason and the extent of his moral freedom.

This is a tautology.

One must exercise the will in order to engage in sport, and to push one's self to extend one's physical capabilities.

Therefore, sport would seem to be a very good thing, especially since enhancing physical capabilities improves the physical home we provide for the Lord.

[Bellarmine]

The quality of our physical home adds nothing to our worth before God.
