Congratulations to Jacob and Harri who gained a 12th and 13th place at the Canterbury Duathlon yesterday. This is a fantastic achievement, especially when you see 128 competitors in that grade!
Did you read the article in The Press recently about successful business women playing team sports.
In a study it was discovered that playing a team sport had prepared women ( and men would be the same in my opinion) for the world of business. Not only did they gain all those skills of working in a team and having a positive attitude to physical activity but they also learned HOW TO LOSE.
(Not that they liked it!)
The women surveyed said that they were able to deal successfully with knock backs and that losing didn't deflate them instead it made them think about what they needed to do to win the next time. In other words losing taught them how to make themselves more skilled, more knowledgable, and certainly more determined!
MUSIC TO MY EARS and nothing surprising. Playing sport teaches us life skills!
Good luck to the Rugby Team at their Fun Day.
