“Harnessing and solidifying unity through sports.”
This was this years’ advocacy for the still ongoing Olympics. A much relevant and deserving theme to be adhered and encrypted to every athletes mind and heart.
Perhaps many has already stumbled upon the term coopetition and if not, coopetition just like how the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Verna Liza Capina had stated during her welcome speech at the opening program of this years’ intramural celebration, the word refers as ‘the act of cooperating while competing’.
Why do this term matters? In what way this impacts the aspects of sports and how this becomes of significance?
Every one, perhaps, is well-informed of how unity will never be achieved unless cooperation is implemented. A broomstick, too, will not be of significance if not tied securely and tightly as one. Therefore ensuring its’ valuable use. Relating this in the world of sports wherein it is knew to be of complexities where rules and numerous guidelines, tactics and techniques must be blended and go well with each other. Every champions in this field, if ask of what the secret antidote toward achieving success would probably answer a mixture we already are familiar with. Patience, hardwork and cooperation while competing. Having that one goal, one aimed result at the end of each game.
Marinduque State College aims to build unity by doing this kind of event. It does not only focus in sports, but both in literary and academics as well. Thus shaping the athletes to be strong physically and mentally ready to conquer and compete.
Cooperation while competing builds strong-willed and courageous athletes well-armed to take their way up to their dream success.
And who knows? With this kind of motivation, MSCians athletes might one day get to compete, hopefully, globally.
