Dr Kaur, in her address, encouraged the students to take active part in sports. She shared that sports was a way of life, a lifestyle and highlighted the importance of discipline in sportsmanship and life in general. She reminded the students how life is very much like sports and why it is necessary to always compete with oneself even in the journey of life.
She pointed that it is of essence to have control of our mind and not let a single defeat or failure hinder them. She exhorted the students to motivate one another even after a win or success and how emulating this positive attitude of morale-boosting lies the true spirit of the theme ‘beyond the finish line.’ Dr Kaur also reminded the students that participation is more important than winning and urged students to play with a purpose and true sportsmanship.
