Another quote from Mdm Tan Hwee Ling

Whoosh!

To WIN, We Need 3S

To win the match on Friday, we need 3S:

S: SPEED

S: STAMINA

S: TO SNATCH THE BALL

We still got one more chance, boys.

Let's dont dwell on what happened today.

Again, every match has let us discover our strengths and weakness..

Once we can curb our weakness, that's what makes us a winner.

We need that fighting spirit and 'never say die' spirit.

That's why sports is so competitive, because either u win or u lose.

Let's learn from today's match and previous experience and fight our BEST on Friday coz that's the Last match of B boys.

Com'on boys, u can do it.

At least we still can be TOP 3.

Let's build on our SPEED, STAMINA and SNATCH.

And we will be invincible on Friday.

Whoosh.

Note:

Time of match: 3.30 pm

Board bus at : 2.00 pm (PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE!!!!!!!)

Leave class at : 1.15 pm

Wear: bring both colours, the website gave very unclear information

Edusave forms: Kun you & Felix. (Hello, many weeks overdue!)

A note: Our boys played well today. Towards the last 2 quarters, i can see our boys fighting hard and Cat High dont even have many chances to shoot. And I can see the fighting spirit shown during the last 2. I saw how our boys still trying very hard to shoot and they were defending very well!!!! Well done, boys. A pat on your back. All these will remain as good memories in your secondary days.

Have a good rest and rem to start reviising for your mid-year next week.

Cheers.

U guys better make sure that ALL of YOU are HUNGRY for the ball tmw!!!

Dont wait for the ball to roll to you,

Tmw is a strong team, just like Presby High.

And just like how u played so fiercely against Presby High, u can do it tomorrow!!!

We dont just settle for Top 4, we settle for the TOP of the TOP.

Okay,guys???

Dont be overwhelmed by the crowd.

Dont repeat what has happened during the North Zone finals.

Top FIRST is a dream and it is achievable by u guys.

:)

All the VERY BEST and I want to see the finest art from u guys once again.

Have a good night rest. Good Luck!

NOTE: EDUSAVE FORMS: so far, Kunyou, Gary, Felix havent give me. Tmw pass it to me.

Tmw match

Guys, all the best for tmw and play well!
Put in your very best!

coz we all cant wait for the second round to start.

SO......in order to play well for the second round, we need more trainings!!!!
What happened today?

U need to be very physically fit and excellent stamina to withstand the challenges that is to come.

Do u want to settle for the TOP 8 or TOP 4 of Nationals????

k, u decide.

If thurs do not have match (2nd round), ALL come down for trainings.

Good luck for tomorrow!

Next few week trainings

Next trainings are on Tues and Thurs as usual.

Ms Sem and I have been going around to talk to those absentees individually.
This few trainings u have to attend otherwise immediately will get a POOR, FAIR in your conduct grade after the mid year exams.

There will be only a few trainings before CCA steps down so that students can study for their mid year exams.

Training for Sec 1,2,3 and 4(non-school team)
Tues: 3- 5pm
Thurs: 3-5 pm.

If for those frequent absentees, if u have already signed the form, noting that u have been informed of the trainings, and yet not turned up, actions will be taken against you.
1) calling your parents
2) inform Mr Raj
3) Detention
4) FAIR/ POOR conduct

Quote of the month: Why give yourself so much trouble when you can just turn up and do some sports with your school mates?

1st round is not yet over till...

you people clear Catholic High.

It is a wrong mentality to not play your fullest potential because you are confirmed in the 2nd round. We have lost to them a couple of times before, therefore, we need to see how far we can stretch ourselves by playing our best next Tuesday. Monday's training for B boys (1.30pm-3.30pm) will be more on practicing your box-out, free throws, the formation that coach has been asking you all to do when you start ball at side line. Please be more self motivated, captain,vice cap, get all members to take monday's practice seriously.

2nd round is another challenge ahead, so work hard!

Today's game

Boys, u guys played well today, do keep the momentum going!

Gary, u played very well today! Keep it up! Be more confident of yourself and your skills today have showed that u are capable of it! :)

Boys, we have come so far and we need to train more in order to keep up with the stamina and skills. Like what ms sem has said, good schools have training everyday! So hardwork do play a part and if u wana go into nationals top, u need to put in more effort.

I do not want to see any of u regret about this or that after everything has finished.

Listen, no regrets and no fear should be our motto.

Ok, hope u guys will train during this long weekend.

Have a good rest tonight.

PS: Shilong, pls do not feel bad and pls dont ever feel like quitting. Our team will not be the same without you. Me and ms sem understand perfectly how u feel. Do cheer up, okie? :-)

SNATCH THE BALL

some strategies:

- grab the ball SUUUPER TIGHTLY

- help K to fend off those irritants. if he has 3 surrounding him, where are our 2 boys supposed to guard them?????

- FEAR-NOT

ok, ms sem and I will always support u guys.

'Whoosh'

just some random thoughts..

Hi B boys,

As much as i wanted you guys to win, i thought yesterday's match was a good wake up call to most of you. I do not want to repeat what mistakes we make, but just rememeber to learn from the mistakes, and treat it as a motivation to get you up and going again.

Yesterday's match triggered me to tell an old fable.. (ok..the ah-ma story again)

N years ago, a girl participated in a taekwondo tournament thinking that she would win the compeition because she was overly confident of herself and people kept telling her she would win. So, she went inside, din perform up to her standards and lost badly in the first round. This incident shook her really badly. But after that lesson, she became humble and train harder than anybody else. She succeeded in numerous competitions later and also learn from better competitors who won her.

Hey guys, the girl did not even have one chance because in taekwondo, its a knockout system. So, with the last chance on monday, i really hope you can put in your best effort without any regrets! Even if lost (choy), live to tell people you have already done your best!

Well, the teachers and coach can only do so much, what matters is how the SENGKANG team perform on Monday.

Here are a few things that i feel we need to beef up on:
1) fearless like what mdm tan say. Overcome your fears of physically aggressive opponents. Not easy i know. OVERCOME OVERCOME OVERCOME!

2) DEFENCE - JU SHOU! my favourite phrase! Stop them from making any shots, deny them any chance of passing. KIAP them when they drive pass you. Run faster to stop them when they are doing fast breaks. Do anything to stop them from scoring! Stop watching the damn show! Wake up your ideas!!!

3) Support your team mates instead of scolding them. give them encouragement! We all make mistakes, most important you play harder when you make a bad pass, a bad layup etc. But of cos, minimize your mistakes on monday!

4) Be more active during offense. Ask for the ball. Help your team mates. Shake off your defender . How u expect to get the ball if your stand behind the defender?!!

Okie, thats all from me! It's all up to u on Monday! All the best !
