“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

Athletics is not just about speed and endurance, it is a demonstration to determination, perseverance and sheer willpower. At GIIS Ahmedabad, we believe in fostering a spirit of excellence and resilience in our students. This belief was brilliantly exemplified by our young athlete, Rishit Singh, who clinched 1st position in the 1500m race at the district-level Khel MahaKumbh competition, With this remarkable achievement, Rishit has secured his spot in the upcoming state-level competition.

Expressing his excitement, Rishit Singh said, “This victory is a result of months of rigorous training and unwavering support from my coaches. I am grateful to my school, mentors and family members for believing in me. I am looking forward to representing my school and giving my best at the state level.”

The role of dedicated coaching and disciplined training cannot be overstated in the journey of a successful athlete. Our esteemed Athletics coaches, Mr. Narendra and Mr. Lakhman have played a pivotal role in guiding and preparing Rishit for this feat. Their relentless efforts and strategic coaching methods have enabled our athletes to push their limits and reach new heights.

Principal, Mr. Caesar D’silva, expressed his pride in Rishit’s achievement. He said, “Success in sports is not just about winning medals; it is about the spirit of perseverance and continuous self-improvement. Rishit’s dedication and his coach’s commitment are truly commendable. We are confident that he will continue to shine at the state level and beyond.”
