Raffles Hall Coaching

so the ihg floorball season is over. i juz want to say i'm proud of my team (both guys and girls) for the way they have played. they showed character, strength, even when the odds were against them. i have much to learn from their fighting spirit. there is tons of potential in the team. i hope i can continue to guide them along their path to fulfilling that full potential. anyway, i emailed them my coaching experience and was surprised with 2 thank you replies. not to mention the personal thank you from lloyd right after the defeat to kr. it certainly took the blow off the defeat. i wanna post the thank yous here for me to look back and be proud that i am able to achieve something especially when the chips are down. the long nights of coaching plus training plus tuition plus night classes really took a toll on my body physically. i am now below 80kg for the first time in a yr?2yrs? so, here's the replies:

"Awwwww that was such a sweet letter!

We love you too, syafiq. ^_________^

with your (then) unbroken voice screeching during trainings, the SM tendencies and missing word mistakes. ;DDD you're awesome!"

"Hi syafiq,

I just wanted to thank you personally (as personal as email gets haha) for taking up the challenge of being our coach. From my point of view, of having played floorball for rh since the beginning 3 years ago, your coaching has definitely been a good thing for the team - so you dont need to apologise for anything. Our first year with no coaching, we without a doubt played as individuals,, there was literally no team work to speak of. Last year with weiliang's leadership we faired better But this year although the result was worse than last year, i dare say that i had a more fulfilling floorball experience than the previous years. This is because i at least learnt strategy and tactics and was given a chance to build up a bigger repatoire of skills. This is what i think a real player is interested in - to learn and to improve. You came up with a structured training programme, taught us to play together, and basically did everything a coach could or should have done. So for that leme hand out a prize too:-

Best Coach 2010 Syafiq!

Haha cu around "

i really want to coach n play for raffles hall again next yr.

hope things can be sorted out.

oh tampines east knights approached me to coach, play, captain(maybe?) them for the coming div2 season. i weighed my options, and chose to accept their approach cos i think i can make more difference playing for them than playing for saints. problem is they train 3-7pm on sundays at tampines. raffles have training 2-6pm on sundays at nus. i'm in a dilemma. i want to take both teams. but i can't be at 2 places at once. how? i'm open to suggestions.
