Muay Thai Club: Gear Secretary

I LOVE MUAY THAI SO MUCH please vote for me I'll be the best gear secretary ever <3

Having shouldered very similar responsibilities before when I was a kickboxing coach, I feel very up for the challenge of ensuring that everyone at Muay Thai has access to well-maintained equipment and that the equipment is stored safely to ensure an optimal training experience!! I will ENDEVOUR to make sure the gloves smell like roses even after the most intense of sparring sessions because I have a deep understanding that proper care and upkeep of equipment is essential for safety and longevity. 

Thank you so much reading and please vote for me

All the best

Hey everyone! A lot of you probably know me, but here's a quick intro: I'm a 3rd-year student who joined UCLMT as a beginner last year. I have had some of my best uni experiences at the club, from competing at UFN and achieving the "Fighter’s Fighter of the Year" award, to cheering our fighters at Varsity where we destroyed Kings 4-1. 

I have been helping the committee out with organizing kit before and after training, as I’m sure most of you have seen and would love to continue doing so with an official committee role as Gear Sec (you can see me hard at work interning in the picture above). 

I am experienced and comfortable with the gear sec commitments ensuring a smooth transition into the role (I am a pro and can carry 3 bags up and down the stairs at the same time, come challenge me). I will make sure to implement cleaning and unstinking measures to make everyone has a comfortable experience. I look forwards to helping UCLMT be the best version of itself.

PS: As one of five selected for the Bloodline Gym Sponsorship last year, I might have some secret tips if you’re interested ;)

Thanks for your consideration—see you all at training!

I’m standing for the gear secretary role as I believe the role to be how I can best apply my strengths and skills to have the most positive impact on the Muay Thai society and members.

For once I’m confident doing chemistry in my undergraduate degree actually gave me some useful skills that are very transferasble to this role. Having to research into and organise the chemicals, safety equipment and precautions required every other day when I’d step into the laboratory, have greatly developed my preparation and organisation skills. Although I’ll now be dealing with gloves instead of flasks, shin pads instead of acids, the core principal of making sure to have the correct and necessary equipment before the session, and indexing to make sure the equipment gets returned after the session remain the same.

Furthermore, starting this year not having my own shin pads, I know personally how vital the equipment the society provides is. And I’d love to do my part and help the society in streamlining this even more. Making sure those without equipment can still enjoy this passion, organising the replacement of worn out ones with new/newer ones, such as how some of the shin pads Velcro straps no longer function. 

From making sure we have the correct amount of pads, gloves and shin pads for the sessions, ensuring they get returned to aiding the treasurer in budgeting if required. I know I’ll be of use and give my all.
