Hi all, my name is Adedeji (though mostly known as Deji), and I would like to put my name forward to represent UCL ACS as next year's Male Sports Officer.
Throughout the majority of my life I have actively been involved in the sport of Basketball and have gained many valuable opportunities and experiences through it. Over time, I've come to appreciate how important physical activity and sport are—not only for health, but for building connections, encouraging interaction, and creating a stronger sense of community. If I am nominated for next year I will try to establish multiple inclusive ACS sports teams which can compete not only within UCL but also with other university ACS societies. I will ensure frequent social events so people of all skill levels can come and participate to help strengthen our bonds and friendships.
While I have a clear understanding of basketball, it is apparent to me that I am less experienced in other sports. That's why I will ensure to always take on suggestions from all members and remain approachable as is to create a space where everyone is heard equally. I am completely open to seeing and hearing what events would be preferred year-round and I will work with you guys to make this a reality.
Ultimately, whether or not I am chosen, what matters the most is the fact that ACS to build a strong healthy sporting foundation next year. I wish the best of luck to everyone applying and would like to thank you for taking you time to read my nomination.

I’m applying for the role of Male Sports Officer because I’m passionate about promoting sport and fitness within our university community, and I believe I have the mindset and experience to make a positive impact. I’ve played football at a mid-to-high level in the past and still enjoy playing occasionally, which keeps me connected to team sport culture and the value it brings—camaraderie, discipline, and resilience. I also train at the gym regularly, which has helped me develop consistency, motivation, and a strong understanding of personal fitness goals. Beyond physical activity, I pride myself on having strong leadership qualities, communication skills, and a resilient mindset that I believe are key to encouraging participation and supporting others in their fitness journeys. As Male Sports Officer, I’d aim to create an inclusive and motivating environment where people of all abilities feel welcome to take part, push themselves, and enjoy the physical and social benefits of sport. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring energy, organisation, and passion to the role, and to help build a stronger, more active community within the society.
