Vierumäki Sports day!

Haaga-Helia President, Teemu Kokko welcomes all new students from all campuses from Haaga-Helia at Vierumäki for a sports day and explains why he believes and why we all need to believe that fitness stimulates all students minds to prepare them for daily and future classes. This I do believe. Fitness releases endorphins to be more mentally alert.

There were many activities on the day but my most favorite was getting back on the board and getting wet... Stand up paddleboard (SUP). It made me feel like I was back in Australia and enjoying life! Made me miss Australia but come only three months until Victoria and I go back and enjoy the sun. As there were many students participating in the event, many did not have the opportunity to participate in sports that were available. This was due to limited resources, early booking for team activities with limited quantity of teams to enter the competition and different sporting activities were per-booked on the day.

All in all, it was a good day and I did not see one sad face! I hope more of these days come as it was enjoyable.
