Mini Report
Karnival Sukan MASUM is a sports carnival which is organized by Majlis Sukan Universiti Malaysia in co-operation with local universities every year. The objectives of MASUM are to encourage and tighten the interaction of all university students and also improve the development of sports in Malaysia.
Before the tournament, I undergo a series of training and selection before I was qualified for the competition. I have attended weekly trainings whereby I had learnt more skills and known other excellent players. I had a two-week centralized training with the other team members in UTM before departing to UMP for the competition.
I had learnt a few graduate attributes through this activity, namely Leadership and Teamwork Skills, Thinking Skills, Communication Skill, and Adaptability. As a team player, I had to actively communicate with other members in the game and during trainings. Although members are from different races, we were able to exchange our ideas and got along very well.
My achievement in this competition is that I had learnt about my weakness through the game although our team did not emerge as winners.
Self Reflection
MASUM is a very meaningful event in my university life as an athlete. I feel very lucky to have a chance to be a representative of UTM team. I have gained a lot of unforgettable experience through this 1 month plus trainings and competition. First of all, I learnt to work as a team as winning a basketball match is not one-man-show. Communication is the key in creating a bond in between the members. Also, as we had the competition in UMP, it was a challenge for athletes to adapt to the new environment and new courts. Luckily, we were able to adapt quickly to the new environment and gave all out in the game.
My self-strength or advantage towards joining the activity is that I had some basic in basketball as I had represented my secondary school and matriculation college before. I am passionate towards the game and enjoy the game very much.
The challenge that I faced was that we had limited time to practice together in the two-weeks training. This is because some members were from UTM KL whereby we had no chance to practice together in UTM Skudai. However, we had intense tactical trainings in the intensive training together.
To improve myself, I hope that I can attend basketball trainings regularly in order to increase my body strength.
