2009-01-18T13:56:00.002+08:00

TO ALL JUNIORS WHO ARE TAKING PART IN THE TOURNAMENT :

Play your best and never give upppppp easily!
encourage yourself to play the next shot better, catch your opponent's weakness(es) and strengthen yourself.
Put in more efforts while playing your game
Every shot counts!!! so do not watch the shuttle till it drops onto the floor! always push yourself to get it. there's always a chance to be able to return it as long as you try.

Remember, do not show that you are tired
opponent will fight even more to pressurise you and make you more tired
YOU should be the one doing that to them.
even if you feel discouraged because you make numerous mistakes, you should still fight on!
never give your opponent an easy game.
realise your mistakes and tell yourself not to commit it again.

for doubles, communication and encouragement are very impt
do not be annoyed with each other
only when both work together, should you two be able to execute the best shot
ALWAYS ALERT
cover for each other at all time
it's about teamwork

RUN for all shots.
Take your time to serve and always ready to receive service
reduce the number of shots hit out and into net

To the yr3s, hope you all can play your best to win despite the pressure you might have because your opponent may be older than you
it's your yr4s seniors' last yr in zonals tournament
Im sure they would wish to be able to get into the second rd at the very least.
We missed our chance last yr, so we definitely hope that this yr you all can do the team and past seniors proud by getting into the next rd!

Have the determination to win every of your game.

I know it's easy to say but hard to do some of the things i mentioned above
But as long as you have the heart to do so, though you might not be able to do it 100%, you could in fact do it at 70-80% which is very good already because you TRIED.

Do not disappoint yourself.

GOODLUCK AND JIAYOU!!!!!
seniors will go down and support if we can!

Cheers from Jaslin (:

hey i got the following points from a powerpoint presentation during a scholar leaders' training which i've attended recently
I feel that there are lot of learning points and thus sharing with you all here

1. Coaching is a process by which one individual (coach) helps another improve his/her (learner) performance through learning by facilitation

2. Why coach?
because the eye cannot sees itself.
(this basically means you cannot see what you did wrong or correctly and hence need someone to see it for you and tell you so that you can correct or improve it)

3. True learning happens when the learner wants to change himself/herself.

4. Coaching Vs Mentoring
Coaching: partnership, does not have to be an expert in this area, faciliatation
Mentoring: superior, expert in this area, teaching modelling showing

5. Core beliefs of a Good Coach
- People want to learn and grow
- Every learner has the potential for better performance
- Good questions are more powerful than strong commands
- Every problem is an opportunity for learning
- Challenging goals and encouragement can bring out the best from people

6. A Good Learner
- Is willing
- Finds it joyful to learn
- Does not blame others for poor performance
- Always learns from others
- Always reflects on himself
- Is not defensive
- Is honest with himself

I hope everyone can read this and reflect upon the points mentioned.
as a coach, does he have these few core beliefs?
as a learner, are you a good one?

Maybe it's time to do something.

2008-05-18T21:09:00.002+08:00

Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium (Kallang)
Date: 10-15 June

I hope most of you can go and watch Aviva Open as this is a good exposure and definitely an eye opener.

Thank you (:

"It's the individual training that makes a strong team." - Quoted from Coach Danny.

everyone has different weaknesses and strengths.
build on your own strengths and train to improve on what you are weak at and try to turn it into one of your strengths.
once everybody has trained to become better, together the whole team will be strong.

jiayou (:

tml's schedule is as follow :

GUYS : Bukit Batok vs Huayi

GIRLS : Bukit Batok vs Nanhua

all are welcome to support.

(P.S. it seems as though as tagboard's traffic is quite high these days. if anyone of you is lost about the "conversation" going on at the tagboard, do feel free to clear your doubt. haha.)

2007-11-20T18:14:00.000+08:00

hey people.

both guys and girls are out of the competition already.

but dont lose faith people, because the most important one is next year's tournament.

to all that have participated in this competition, good job if you have tried your best and win the matches. but if you didnt, then it's time you start training hard to make up and fight it back next year.

also many thanks to those who did not play but helped to be linejudges and umpires. (:

2007-11-19T22:07:00.000+08:00

halo people!

some updates for the rv badminton challenge 2007.

(click on the pic for better view)

girls are going for the next match.

dont lose faith, guys, for this competition serves as exposure for all of us. and most importantly for the sec1s to gain experience.

the main tournament is next year. so everyone continue to jiayou!!

[and while the tagboard has been misused by some unknown people by the name of d ~~and e~~ (which happens to be from a participating school), we will continue to use the tagboard as a form of communication and ignore the tags that serve to be redundant.]
edit: it seems as though the main culprit is "d", who "find rv badminton team funny". ER....

meanwhile girls, all the best for the next match! (:

today marks the graduation day for sec4s.

so im dedicating this song to all sec4 seniors. (:

Through the rain by Mariah Carey
When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you’re distraught and in pain
Without anyone

We keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
but you just can’t
Find your way home
You can get there alone
It’s okay
What you say

chorus:
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

And when the wind moves
And shadows grow close
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face

And should they tell you
You’ll never pull through
Don’t hesitate
Stay tall and say

chorus

I can make it through the rain
Can stand up once again
And I live one more day
And I’ll make it through the rain

Ooh, yes, you can
Mmm...hmm...
You can make it through the rain

erm. the song's nice lah. i find it very inspiring and touching. so all the best for your o levels.

can't thank you seniors enough.

thank you all
- for putting in so much effort in the tournament, though we didnt get into the semi finals, at least we tried
-for playing so well in WKW that we got to top 8. a bit of incidents here and there but at least we got into top 8. that's an achievement (:
-for taking time out to train us, the juniors, correcting our mistakes, telling us how we can improve
-for all that you have contributed to rvbadminton. your hardwork and all.
-for being our seniors, pushing us on when we are on the brink of giving up.

THANKS SO MUCH! (:

all the best in your future endeavours. (:

and do come back and join us for trg or just visit us whenever you're free!

October Training Schedule is out!

Please inform your teammates about it! :D

Click for large image.

It's COMPULSORY for ALL Year1s to go for ALL trainings.
If you want to be excused for any training, you MUST ask Mrs Chan personally and it must be in advance.

For Year2s and Year3s, Team A people must go for all trainings. Similarly, please ask Mrs Chan personally to be excused for any training in advance.

Team B people are welcomed to join trainings however it's not compulsory.

*Note that there's no Team A or Team B training days anymore. All the timing that are listed in the schedule are for ALL Year1s and ALL Year2&3s Team A people. Compulsory for you all. Team B people are welcomed to join!

After EOY exam ends, we'll begin intensive trainings to prepare for next year's tournaments which is only 4 months away.
Thus I hope everyone can be committed and really train hard!
Especially the Year1s. You all will be the only level of players in the team to compete in the Cdiv tournaments.
I certainly dont hope to see cliques forming though I know it's rather inevitable.
Please encourage your team members to train hard and seriously. Encourage each other to not give up and strive to improve!

halo shuttlers,
while you all are busy for your preparation for the upcoming examinations, i have a great news to tell all of you.

that is, badminton chalet has been confirmed!

Date : 30 Nov 2007 - 2 Dec 2007 [Friday to Sunday]
Venue : Coasta Sands Resort [Downtown East]
Note : bbq will be on 1 dec, saturday.

i have sent an email to tell you guys about this but im not sure if all of you receive so i thought it would be better if i put it on the blog.

Sec1s to 3s :
This year we decided to make it complusory. Meaning to say that, all of you will have to pay for it. It's $14. [P.S. i know that some of you didnt pay for last year's, so to prevent history from repeating itself, i'll be collecting from all of you. (: ]

Please pass it to me asap. Im in 3C, (in case anyone of you dont know) and you all can also pass to jaslin. (she's same class as me.)

If you already have plans for holidays and it happens to clash with the chalet, please tell me and i will consider whether you have to pay or not.

If you have no wish to go, please do inform me.

sec 4s :
Please try to come since this is sort of like a farewell party for you guys. (:
at the same time, you all can also use this opportunity to get to know your juniors and relax after the o's.
so please help me pass around the word that there'll be badminton chalet on 30 nov to 2 dec.

and to all sec1s to 3s, please pass to me the $14 asap!!

P.S. ex-seniors are also welcome! (:

shiyuan.

and please dont get addicted to games at this point of time okie. it's best that you make full use of the time now to study rather than play games so you wont regret when the results are out.

so good luck everyone! (:

halo people!

major events are coming up!

there's o level oral exams for the sec4s and EOYs are coming like real soon for sec1s to sec3s.

so here's an inspirational quote that i got from outward bound.

"You are not alone, there are others on their way on the same track. The track may be narrow and steep and boring and frightening, but everybody walks on it. You are not alone, but linked to everything around you. "
- Zen

so everyone must work hard for the upcoming exams.

good luck to all of you! (:

[P.S. actually, another major event is the september holidays and hopefully there'll be a mini badminton outing. (: ]

I realised there are always very little people going for thursdays trainings
which are only for year1s players
ALL YEAR1s players
BOTH TEAM A & TEAM B.

Please, dear year1 juniors, go for your trainings.
next year you all will be participating in the cdivision zonal tournaments against other westzone schools
and next year is about another 6 more months to go
use this period of time to improve your strokes, footwork, strategies as much as you can
to prepare yourself sufficiently for the tournaments

ONLY this yr's year1s players which are next yr's yr2s players will take part in the cdivision tournaments.

for girls and boys, we have 10 players for each team
we need 7 main players
it's time to think about it now
if you want to be one of the 7, train hard!
dont think that you will never be one of them

even if you may not be one of the 7 main players, sometimes you will also be asked by coach to go into the court and play the match

SO!
everyone must be mentally prepared
and definitely, physically prepared

each game depends on individual strength
each tournament depends on team's effort

if only one person in the team trains hard
we may get that one point from the opponent team
but what about the other 4 points to win the tournament?
THUS!
we need everyone to train
achieve a similar&balanced standard among all
so that, we can win the other 4 points from the opponent too!

next,
my second point would be
going for trainings is not what i solely hope to see in everyone
if you decide to go trainings, put your heart and mind into it
it's a training, remember
the time that you should use to improve& strengthen yourself

you have a part to play in this sport
dun be disheartened by any games that you lose to your peers
it's okay to lose
as long as you strive to do better the next time
and try to avoid making the same mistakes in th future games
must keep reminding yourself

this sport requires lotsa mental strength
never give up even if you lag behind opponent by alot of points
cannot be demoralised
the fighting spirit must be there
tell yourself to continue to fight
put in yout utmost best performance
to minimise the difference!

sees your stronger peer as a goal
train and work hard to be on par with him/her
be determined to beat him/her one day
never ever feel lousy
people always aim to go up not down
surely there will be ppl stronger than you even if you may be known as the strongest badminton player in the world
others may be stronger in terms of mental, strategies etc.

therefore,
never ever think tht you will never win that person
fighting spirit really brings about great motivation during a game
this is an inidividual strength
it all depends on yourself
others cannot change you
you have to tell yourself
keep encouraging yourself

we certainly need everyone to attend trainings frequently to maintain standard and not let it go down the slope
this ensures the team's overall strength
every player is committed
and responsible for the team
this is team effort
train together and help each other in improving themselves by telling them their problems, mistakes and suggest what they can and should do.
everyone learns together
and works together towards a common goal - to win something for the badminton team

that's what a team should be like

halo people!

here to update. haha. there's no events currently, so i thought i would put up something motivational for you guys. (:

and here's

Believe in Yourself

Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible
Believe in yourself and you can discover
Talents new, that lie away hidden

Believe in yourself and you can reach
New heights that you thought unscalable
Believe in yourself and you can solve
Problems that defy any solution

Believe in yourself and you can conquer
Any situation, however difficult
Believe in yourself and you can make
The most complicated things seem simple

Believe in yourself and you can learn
The skills of gaining knowledge from experience
Believe in yourself and you can enjoy
The beauty in nature's abundance

Believe in yourself and you can perceive
New depths your senses can apprehend
Believe in yourself and you can perform
Way beyond your expectations

Believe in your goal and work towards it
With determination and dedication
Believe in yourself and output enhance
By contributing to a given situation

so believe in yourself and im sure you will be able to achieve what you want!

shiyuan (:
