The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and
controversy.
“A healthy mind can be found in a healthy body”, a conventional saying. It is by far a truth that can not be denied.
As we strongly believe in the importance of sports for the well-being of the human body, we urge our students to
involve a sport activity in their everyday life. The benefits of sports are countless starting from staying fit
till positively influencing your everyday production and lifting your spirit and enthusiasm.
The GUC teams up the interested students to train together under the name of the GUC. The GUC then organizes
competitions with other universities teams and invites all students and staff to attend to encourage their team.
Such events raise the sense of competition in our students where they accept both winning and losing. They also
learn to play the roles of both a team player and a team leader. This teaches them to prepare and train well and
not to underestimate any opponent they are to face. Moreover, playing under the name of the GUC strengthens the
relationship and loyalty between the students and the GUC since they long to win to have the GUC’s name on the top.
The GUC also coordinates sport competitions between the students and the professors. This reinforces the
relationship between the students and their professors as well as diversifies this relationship to avoid
having only educational interaction between them.
