Commitment

Hi guys

would like to say a few things. as you all know NTU has commenced training on Mondays and Wednesdays. In addition, the AUG players are also training on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a match on Saturdays. Not mentioning the extra lessons, EID, internships, parttime work that some of us are having.

what i want to highlight is that, at the end of the day you are not only responsible to the team, but more importantly answerable to yourself. if you decide to join the team, you have to make sacrifices. this means watching your diet, doing your own fitness training, going for as many trainings as you can, etc.

if you really have work and end too late, go for runs on your own to keep your fitness level up. attend other trainings or social soccer to improve yourself. if you are in AUG and feel that there are too many trainings and you are feeling burned out, take a break and miss a training. Coach and Mr Chiang have already mentioned they understand the situation the AUG players are in.

ultimately, what we want to do (other than AUG) is to represent NTU in SUNIG and IVP. SUNIG is in about 2 months+ time (around end aug, early sep), and it is important that everyone of us start playing regularly and improving ourselves in order to defend our 'trophy'. whether we want to get into the final SUNIG squad, and how well we want to play, all depends on ourselves. before we can build up our team play, we have to improve our individual level. so i urge everyone to step up our commitment, and take charge of our own path, whatever circumstance you are in.

see you on the field.
