๐ฅ SO PROUD OF TEAM GMAC! ๐ค๐
We are immensely proud of every student who stepped onto the mats at the North Lanarkshire Open on Saturday and gave it their all!
For many of our team, this was their very first experience of a Taekwon-Do competition โ and simply having the courage to step onto that mat, face someone new and put their training into practice is a huge achievement. ๐
There were fantastic performances, great results and plenty of medals, but weโre equally proud of the things that donโt appear on a results sheet โ overcoming nerves, showing determination, learning from every match, supporting teammates and having the confidence to keep going.
For our more experienced competitors, weโre just as proud of the example you set and the way you continue to challenge yourselves and develop.
Whatever the result, every competition gives us something to build on. Celebrate what went well, learn from what didnโt and come back to training ready for the next challenge. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
A huge thank you to our instructor team for all the work preparing our competitors in the weeks leading up to NLO, and to our coaches who supported and encouraged them matside throughout the day.
Thank you to our umpires who gave up their Saturday to officiate, and to our parents and families for the early starts, travelling, cheering and continued support. ๐ค๐
And thank you to everyone who helped with all those little jobs behind the scenes โ organising, helping competitors, setting up, clearing away and simply stepping in wherever needed. It really does take a whole team.
But Saturday belonged to our competitors.
You stepped onto the mats. You took the challenge. You gave it your best. And you did yourselves and Team GMAC proud. ๐ช
And to all our first-timersโฆ we hope this is just the beginning! ๐ค๐๐ฅ
