Sportsmanship Must Be Gained

"It really doesn't depend on how many times you won, but the truth is it depends on how you accept failure"

                Intramurals are fun, recreational, social and competitive on-campus sports activity. Yearly, intamurals was celebrated by our school and by this school year, it was held August 23- 24, 2012 earlier as I expect it to be, each year level was given a name based on team sports key, namely Green Celtics for first years, Yellow Madrid for second years, Red Bayern for third years and Blue Chelsea for forth years. As a  student having an intrams is one of the most fun activities a high school student wants to experience, besides the fact that there are no classes, we used to play, socialize, and interact with other students in the school.

          Lots of game were opened to be played of like, the popular ball games basketball boys and girls, volleyball boys and girls, and other outdoor games like sepak takraw, badminton boys and girls (singles&doubles), throwing events like discus,javelin and shot put, some indoor games like chess boys and girls, table tennis boys and girls (singles&doubles), we also have this fun games namely patintero,sack race and tug-of-war. To spice up the event we also had a Cheer Dance competition and  Dansport competition which is newly done this year. Every student was in full joy and energy, cheers supporting their teams can be heard every now and then, banners can be seen all around every year level supports its group all the way, no matter what awaits in the end, if they win or lose.

                 Why do we need to have intrams? What can we learn from it? Simple intramurals is not just for pure fun, it is about learning to cooperate with your team; construct good strategies, make new fellows and be sensitive enough to look after ones welfare this strengthens the bond in each member of the group and prove that they really have a rigid teamwork, physical fitness is also observed a good player can play the best when he is in right condition, sports also help attain the physically fit state of the body. Mental strenght in decision making; when we are playing our mind is active it keeps on looking for strategies that can help themselves or the team  in winning. Sportsmanship the main purpose of having this event, we all know that when someone wins, someone loses also. Sportsmanship teaches us to accept our defeat, be happy for other's victory and don't lose hope there is always a next time for everything. If we fail over and over and over again in our life that is the main reason why we succeed.
