Soccer means so much to me.

Hey Guys,
Allow me to confer something which I’ve felt since the end of SUniG till date. As we turn our focus onto studies and the upcoming exams, there is no doubt that it should preside as our utmost priority, and the same goes for me concurrently. However, I think it’s also high time we, as a team set ourselves a goal for IVP this academic year. I genuinely believe most of us want NTU to achieve at least a semi-final placing. However, actions are not put in place to justify our thoughts.
Those who have consistently been coming for training have been the same few, some of us have minor injuries picked up over the course of the previous tournament, some of us preside work over soccer for the past weeks.
Yet, while it’s appropriate to take some time off, don’t you think that we, as players, hold a certain amount of responsibility towards the well-being of the team? Don’t you think that us, even though we are students first and soccer players second should at least contribute some time off our hectic schedule to maintain the welfare and status of the NTU soccer team? I understand opinions and priorities are relative to the individual, and I understand the situation defers from individual to individual.
I just feel for this team, that it deserves better from all of us, that it’s time we get together to determine the aim of IVP. No point if half the team is committed to the cause of doing well, and the other half not sharing similar sentiments. After all, we all love soccer for the fact that we rejoice when we win, and feel a pang of emptiness when we lose.
I hope as the future sweeps as by, we can come together as a team again. Hopefully, from Wednesday onwards. Thank You very much for your time. All the best for your exams!

Just to add, nobody's place is guaranteed for IVP. If your thinking, i will be back after the exams and fight for my place then, let me warn you that it may be too late. You would have only yourselves to blame if your lack of fitness, loss of your touches which you will for sure lose w/o regular training and your lack of commitment results in you losing your place for IVP.

For those who have been missing in action or completely vanished into thin air, pls at least have the courtesy to inform aaron or me of your availabilty for trgs and etc. It takes less than a minute to post on the blog or send a sms. This is directed especially to the players in the SUNIG squad.
