Achievement – Winning the annual sports trophy in school
In school, students were grouped under various clubs to compete in various sporting events all through the year. The winner of each competition was given points and individual certificates. The cumulative points were considered for awarding the annual sports trophy to the group with the maximum points. Every student participating in various games played a crucial role in getting the annual sports trophy to our club in winning in both indoor and outdoor sporting events
The goal of every club was to win the annual sports trophy. The main reflection that I learnt from the various sporting events is the importance of teamwork in outdoor team-oriented games. A conflict or misunderstanding between the team members could cost the entire match and end on the losing side. The equal participation of all the team members and performing their assigned roles played a critical role in winning each game. If a single team member fails to perform their task, then added responsibilities mount on other team players reflecting on the team score and performance in the game
The main reflection in the case of indoor games included self-confidence, competitive spirit, positive mindset and appropriate motivation. Individual games need higher focus and stamina to compete in a better manner. These formed the key success factors in winning in indoor games
In both the games, there are a lot of distractions from external factors but the key to winning remained on the focus to the current task or game in hand. Health issues in the form of injuries are a major challenge in sports. I have lost in many games throughout the year in the school but came back to face the next game with full confidence and hence competing was more important than winning or losing and the results will follow based on the performance in each sport. This is an important lesson that I learned as a result of participating in sports
The competitive attitude of starting from scratch in every game reflected the continuous effort to be imparted through the whole year in every sporting event to reach the goal of winning the overall school championship and getting selected in the school team to represent the school in the zonal meet where the competition is more fierce. Hence a strong mindset and a continuous fighting attitude are other reflections that I learnt from competing in the various sporting events in the school
