Hello team!

I hope you guys had fun on Saturday's sea training. There's more to come in the coming months! All of you only get to train once a week on sea so make use of all the time you have in the waters. Try to apply the strokes we've taught you in air paddling while rowing. You'll feel weird at first but once you get the feel, it'll come naturally.

Foundation is very important in this sport. With good technique and fitness, you'll be able to paddle fast. Of course not forgetting, determination. During every training, put in your 100% effort into it.

Please do your own self training at home too. Be it running, gymming or air paddling.

In this team, we not only train hard but we also study hard.
All the ICAs, common test are coming up. Please study hard for your tests too =)

I'll see you guys on Monday!

Regards,
Ai Xing

Physical Assessment

Hello Juniors !

We will be having a physical assessment next monday and i suggest that you all should self train yourselves to improve your fitness level. Run more, exercise more, pull ups, etc....We will be assessing you on your fitness on that day so please come prepared.

Its natural to be afraid of it, having adrenaline rush all over your body but the one key thing to take note is to never give up. Just to recap about what i've said during debrief, its not all about your fitness level that determines whether or not you will stay in the team, its the mentality that counts. Some people have the fitness but they easily give up. Some people do not have it yet but is keen and determined to improve himself until the end. Which one do you think is better? You decide.


Physical Assessment : 11 may 2009
Reporting time: 6.15pm
Venue: Stadium
