Reflection: Sports Drills

- Combining action and creativity, we present 'THE SPORTS DRILL-for the first time in TIPS history'

In a group of 40's we descended and aligned ourselves. The most awaited performance has finally arrived. In front of thousands we stood still, hearts pounding and the only thought in the mind was 'we can do this'. Slowly we began with our activities and smoothly finished one activity after the other. Our hard work was paying us, we could hear loud roar of applause at the end of each posture. Smile immediately invaded our lips.

After ages our batch has worked as a team and fortunately it was a grand success. We had never worked in 40's without troubles and fights, every time we tried, we'd end up having disputes or either flop it and blame each other. This CAS activity had brought us together with the confidence of working together, of cooperating and working in harmony and peace. We learnt to negotiate and understand the others perspective, come up with solutions and ideas.

Other than developing our coordination, this activity also succeeded in making us confident as individuals and risk taking. For many of us, including me, it was the first time we did yoga in front of a huge crowd. It was the first time these drill were performed in our school and the fact that we were performing was concealed so long, it was something the audience did not expect and that added to the success.
 

Thank you!

Apart from this, this activity gave us a chance to reflect our patriotism and do something special on this historic day of India: The Republic Day!
