Important points to note.

Hey guys,

This post is regarding the recent dip in attendance during training sessions. This has been a perennial problem and it has become rather tiresome to comment on.

Coach has some pointers for everyone:

1) Players in the recent Sunig squad, and those training with us prior to Sunig, are considered part of the NTU squad. Current training dates are only on Mondays and Fridays, and he expects full attendance on both days. If you don't think you can commit, or do not wish to continue training with us, please let it be known. If you choose to continue to be with the team, passion and commitment are both expected from you. (All players not in the current squad are welcomed to join us for trainings during this period)

2) In future, if you are unable to make it for training, inform through the blog stating your reason and your name(or some recognizable nick), or inform either Jin, Aaron or Weihao. If you are injured, you are still required to be down during training times for a light jog or gym training. This will be enforced through attendance taking, and Coach will monitor it closely: how many times you are missing with valid/invalid reasons.

3) Due to the combined uni training on wed and sat, trainings are now only twice a week. Our fitness level is evident through our Sunig games with the highest cramp rate among all 4 unis. Once again, you are expected to keep up your own fitness through jogging or gym work on other non-training days. You are encouraged to conduct such sessions with fellow teammates, for mutual encouragement and teambonding.

4) Lastly, as interhall games are coming up again, Coach has reiterated that your priorities should be clear: whether you want to play at the highest level representing NTU, or interhall games. you can still play for your hall, but this is referring to situations where trainings clash, or possible fatigue or injury from hall stuff. Exams are also nearing, do catch up on your work during non-training days, and we will have our usual break before the exams for you to have sufficient preparation time.

We have ended our Sunig on a high note, and let's carry on from here to up our game for IVP. Next week will be training on Monday and probably a friendly on Friday. In future we will be wearing Blue on Mondays and Red on Fridays. Do comment in the "Comment" function below to acknowledge this post. See you on Monday!

Cheers.

Season resumes...

Now that Sunig is over and we've had our short break, our focus will shift to President's Cup. Bear in mind, President's Cup is a much higher level than Sunig and we will face much stronger opposition than we did in Sunig. This means we have to start working hard from now. In other words, cut out all that late coming and not turning up for training with no good reason nonsense. If we don't start off working hard, we never will.

President's Cup is the main competition and we only do well for a season if we do well for it, no matter how we do for Sunig. From now, everyone starts on clean slate. Whoever was or wasn't in the Sunig squad, you'll all have to fight for your place in the President's Cup squad.

Time to learn from the mistakes made from Sunig. We have to start training with a purpose in mind, we cannot keep going through the motions and just train for the sake of it. I've seen us play much better football than we did in Sunig so let's work hard to get back to that level. May we have a better showing for friday's training.

Training break this week

Guys, there wont be training or match this friday.. The opponents couldnt make it again.. So coach has given us a break this friday.. We will start training again from Monday 6th October onwards again..

I need replies for this. We are proposing to train on every Monday and Friday. This is due to the combined uni boys having training on Wednesday as well as Saturday. I need to know who is against this training schedule but i think it should be alright. Combined uni boys, please note that it is your responsibility to turn up for the trainings, while those training only with NTU, two trainings is not much at all so you all better be there for both trainings. We all need to work hard and it starts from the beginning.. We have a psychological advantage going into this year's IVP against NUS and the other teams. We are certainly capable of producing the results this year with the squad we have.
