Playing golf can have a positive impact on students and schools alike where students develop healthy habits, and active lifestyle leading to improved fitness levels. Golf emphasizes integrity, honesty and respect for others that can foster a positive school environment. Together with good time management, demonstrating resilience and remaining mentally strong are important factors to success.
UUMISM teachers believe that golf students are fitter, able to focus and more resilient under pressure with the ability to think outside the box compared to non-golf students.
Playing golf has many positive outcomes which can be introduced to schools wanting to produce well rounded students.
At UUMISM, the specialized golf program and the co-curriculum go beyond developing skilled golfers. It shapes well rounded individuals with strong work ethics, resilience, and the ability to manage time effectively. All these skills can be appealing to potential employers and give students who excel in golf a competitive edge in the job market.
Achieving the right balance requires collaborative planning between teachers and coaches. Teachers need to strategically schedule lessons and assessments to minimize disruptions. The abilities and experiences of teachers, coaches and students to effectively manage the balance can produce students who can excel in both academic and golf.
