5) from campus to reach you all. We at the Mississippi State University Department of

6) Recreational Sports, recognize that university life can be very busy and stressful at

7) times. We realize that finding ways to connect with other students can be a chore

8) upon itself. We also know that staying in shape during your time at university can be

9) a challenge also. This podcast is here to give you some solutions to these issues

10) Mississippi State intramural sports. This is the first episode of a podcast series

11) produced by the Mississippi State University Department of Recreational Sports and

12) sponsored by MSU intramural sports. On today's episode, we are going to cover

13) why intramural sports are important and how to get started. We're going to touch on

14) three different topics today:

15) Why intramural sports are beneficial

16) Sports that are available now

17) and How to create your own team

20) are available now, and HAR-OLD SCR-UGGS, a senior biomedical technology

21) major and intramural soccer team captain to talk about making a team.

(1 min., 25 sec.)

Segment 1

24) Host incue: Many universities around the country have intramural sports programs

25) for their students and faculty. Here, we believe that intramural sports can help

26) students and faculty on many different levels. The first level we're going to discuss

27) is the health benefits.

28) It's no secret that getting active and exercising is good for your body. Many students

29) and faculty members aren't getting a healthy amount of exercise in their day to day

30) activities. It's hard to fit in time on your own to work out and get in shape while

31) you're also trying to balance school. Getting enrolled in intramural sports is an easy

32) way to set a date and time to exercise with fellow students or faculty. There are an

33) abundance of different sports to choose from, making it easy for a participant to find

34) an activity that works for them.

35) Another benefit from intramural sports is social interaction. For some people, it is

36) hard to make new friends while also trying to succeed in school. Social interaction is

37) a key role in whether a college experience is great or not, and being involved in
38) intramural sports is a great way to make new friends. Not only are you just meeting

39) new people, you're working together with them, trying to achieve a common goal of

40) succeeding on the field or court. This sense of working together can create strong

41) bonds between teammates, which can then lead to great friendships.

42) The last benefit we're discussing is something we touched on earlier, and that's

43) team building. Team building is something that is important to both students and

44) faculty. Team building creates character and gives a sense of appreciation for your

45) teammates and other around you. For students, team building is important because

46) it creates an idea that all the students on campus are equal and should work

47) together to make the school and each other better. For faculty, team building on the

48) field or court is great, because it lets you get to know your coworkers or your

49) students on a more personal level.

50) The benefits of participating in intramural sports go beyond what we've discussed in

51) this segment. Intramural sports can benefit anyone willing to take the jump and sign

52) up.

53) Host outcue: Next up, we'll be talking to Coordinator of Competitive Sports JON-

54) A-THAN Adams about what sports are available now. (2 min., 25 sec.)
