Summarising the use of sports expressions in our jobs and general lives

To summarise: 

• Sporting expressions are used in a metaphorical sense in many aspects of our lives.
• Sporting expressions are used to add a dynamic element to the situation which we are describing.
• There are various types of sport, like team sports or ball games (sometimes, team sports are also ball games), which we talk about metaphorically to describe our life situations. We also talk about racing and combat sports to animate our everyday situations. 

The main idea of these expressions is to add the idea of competition, a race against time or even the idea of a fight or battle to your everyday situations. In any case, they make your life situations sound a lot more exciting.
