Mini Report:
The Sports Festival 2022 took place at Kolej Siswa Jaya, KL and featured a competitive atmosphere involving various societies within UTM KL, including but not limited to CHEMPRO, Foundation, ELECSYS, PREMECH, and SE. This multi-week event encompassed a wide range of sports, including volleyball, sprinting, futsal, badminton, basketball, table tennis, and ultimate frisbee.
The primary graduate attribute fostered by this event is teamwork and collaboration. This arises from the need for students from different backgrounds to come together, forming teams or pairs to compete effectively. It also assesses their ability to work cohesively in a sports setting, often with little notice.
In summary, the Sports Festival 2022 provided a refreshing break for students from their demanding academic schedules. It encouraged physical activity and promoted unity among students from various societies, as well as fostering camaraderie within the societies themselves.
Self Reflection:
By participating in Sports Festival 2022, I was given the opportunity to make meaningful connections which left me with fond memories and new friends. It also allowed me to relieve stress through physical activities.
During the festival, I joined the netball team and throughout each round, I played two positions, the goalkeeper and wing attack. I have always enjoyed playing netball but this was my first time playing an offense position so it was refreshing to learn a different role in netball. Upon joining the team, I didn’t know anyone on the team so I got to make new friends and bonded with them through playing netball.
This experience taught me the value of teamwork and adaptability. I had to learn the different positions in netball quickly in less than a week. I practiced by myself and with my teammates and watched videos to get better. I also had to get used to playing with teammates I didn't know before.
In the end, the Sports Festival 2022 was a great way for me to try new things and meet new people. Even though we didn't win our netball game, I learned a lot and made new friends, which was even more important.
