SPORTS ACTIVITIES BUILD A BETTER INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

Being involved in sports teaches students various interpersonal skills such as patience, communication, leadership, punctuality, accountability, and teamwork that will help them not only to win a particular sports competition but also grow and achieve success in life. Besides effective communication, these interactions could help students become multi-taskers as they start to realise the importance of striking a balance between work and personal life. While playing a sport, students come across various situations that require quick decision-making. Encountering such situations not only makes students proactive but also makes them good decision-makers, a great team player, and even a good leader.

SPORTS COULD ENHANCE THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Sports not only help to shape a student’s personality, but they also have a substantial impact on their academic success. Sports teaches students time management skills and also serves as a stress reliever when they are overburdened with coursework and deadlines. To maintain a healthy mind, students should take a break from their daily routine. Students’ ability to think, study, focus, and contribute to academics is enhanced by such beneficial breaks.

SPORTS HAS THE POWER OF REVIVING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

It is critical to be mentally and physically fit. Students can improve their mental health and learn to balance their scholastic and extracurricular commitments by taking up athletics as a pastime. It allows them to be emotionally strong. When you participate in sports, it reduces stress and makes you feel better about yourself. GIC is striving to provide a holistic growth for our students; therefore, in addition to superb facilities, we have dedicated student support programmes that promote students’ mental well-being.
