Nearly 48 hours ahead of the much-anticipated Gov Games, its director Marwan bin Essa advises participants to work as a team. <br /><br /> <br /><br />“It’s much more than physical capabilities. It’s all about the mental aspect - being together and teamwork,” he told Khaleej Times, adding that in previous editions there were teams who were strong – physically – but did not qualify to the finals because they didn’t work as a team. <br /><br /> <br /><br />“Collaborating as a team is important. Talking to each other, being patient and trying to overcome the obstacles as a group, is essential. Also, there must be a leader in each group,” he said. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Gov Games, now in its fourth edition, was launched in 2018 by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. It features a series of physical and mental challenges designed to reinforce team spirit and collaboration.
