“Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -a desire, a dream, a vision.” -Muhammad Ali

The true measure of success lies not only in victory but in the spirit of perseverance ,the will to push beyond limits, to rise after every fall, and to keep striving for excellence. Our young athletes from Our Own English High School, Sharjah-Boys’ embodied this spirit brilliantly at the Sundeep Batavia Inter-School Athletic Meet, held on 23rd October 2025 at Delhi Private School, Sharjah.

With unyielding stamina, determination, and teamwork, our champions showcased outstanding performances that filled the OOB family with immense pride. Their hard work, discipline, and unwavering focus shone brightly as they competed with confidence and grace, bringing home well-deserved laurels.

Their success was further strengthened under the visionary leadership and constant encouragement of the Head of the Department of Physical Education, Mr. Joepaul Nalappat, whose guidance continues to nurture a culture of sporting excellence at OOB.

As the saying goes, “Champions are not born, they are molded through discipline, determination, and the courage to never give up.”
