[ Impossible is Nothing ]
Raymond - I was pacing Raymond on our usual Saturday's warming-up session when through conversations, Raymond mentioned that he used to weigh a chubby 85.0kg and has now reached the scale at 75.0kg. I was told that his parents & "love ones" also felt very encouraged with his football progress.
Raymond, generally our "vain pot", used to be sloppy and sluggish with his fitness. I have to admit that I was "blunt" to him. With the minimal once a week training, over the last couple of months, Raymond is an example and a good "lessons learnt" for me. Apart from his late developing of his football game, through his perseverence, endurance, dedication, discipline and the believe in himself, he has trimmed down his weight, worked on his fitness and is beginning to kick and enjoy the game better.
I was generally happy upon hearing about his comments as I knew Raymond has been very supportive of the team and his teammates. He wasn't fielded in previous friendly matches, I ran alongside him almost every week, I pushed him, he wasn't demoralised. Instead, he has shown his nerve of steel and at the same time, kept up with the team spirit and support. I believed in him.
Jia He - Before we commenced on our 2 aside after our fitness run, I went up to Jia He, (the team's quietest) and told him that I liked what he had performed on his football play the previous week and the effort he has put into sharpening his ball controls and releasing of the ball. Jia He replied when during open play, besides controling the ball well, he pushes himself into the penalty box area sloted in his first goal. I was most willingly to run to him for a "Hi-5" which was dedicated to his confidence. Cheers Jia He!
