Abstract
To ideas about ghost worship and rituals for athletes in a community, the notion that intended to enhance the body and mind to produce positive energy. It represents the ideal marriage of sports science and superstition. This academic article, “The Community Sports and Superstitions,” aims to present the superstitions associated with sports within a community concerning the power of spirits and Buddhism. Our findings indicated that a perfect blend of the two science forms, Sports Science and Superstition, was ideal for the strength and good health of athletes, and beliefs about “The power of spirits and Buddhism” being linked to sports in the community helps build morale during sporting events since at times science cannot rely entirely on rationality. Hence, there also exists a belief in superstitions that serves to fill the gaps and build morale during sporting events that correspond to the way of life of the people of the community. Thus, even today, although science and technology have advanced, the community continues to regard the interaction of superstition and science as being perfectly in harmony and not problematic.
