Glimpses from Staff vs Students sports event.

Farewell sports match (Final year students vs 1, 2 and 3 year students) Sports has the ability to unite a group of people from different positions, all working together to achieve a target. And even if they fall short sharing that journey is an experience they can never forget.
Sports leads us more towards the path of dedication, perseverance, and teamwork.
It also teaches one to handle success and cope with failure.
So, perhaps the greatest glory of sports is that it teaches so much about life.
Tough times doesn't last but tough teams do
