Nationals .

REFLECTIONS

I was super disappointed by all my jumps attempt . Although Mr Seem said that my jump was ok , i was however still overboard . I tried to concentrate all that I can think of and try to ignore the opponent's jumping distance as I knew it would bring me down.After the event , I was totally disappointed and i couldn't help but started shedding tears . But when Mr Seem told me to stop crying , I knew it was time for me to get stronger , get even more consistent .I knew there is still another chance to get the top 3 . I stopped crying , and I setted a new Goal for myself . My goal for next year is to get top 3 . Well , as for my distance , I have to set it at the end of this year . I would learn from my mistakes this time and would do better the other time round . Part of my inconsistency is because of my speed . Well , I am trying to become faster , but iti s kinda difficult . I've missed quite a number of trainings as I went to visit the doctor and so on beause of my calf .I think I have learnt alot in Cedar track and field , jumping team.I've learnt what is perserverance , what is integrity ,encouraging eash other's heart.

First day of my training in Cedar with jumpers
On the first day of my trainning , I felt really welcome as everyone was treating me very nicely and they were talking to me .I've expanded my circle of friends ! I get along well with my seniors and i think I have learnt alot from them.Through the tight schedule i have for each day , i have learnt how to manage my time properly . When I first saw Mr Seem , I knew he could make me a better person and make me a great national longjumper . Through what he said , " I will make you top 3 and not the 4th ." I know that he will keep his words. What going through my mind everytime I am training .

Days during trainings
I want to learn more , much much more from Mr Seem , jumping technique etc. I'm super grateful to Wendalynn the last time she gave me some tips for being consistent .
Everytime Mr Seem gives us some exercises to do , I want to make it a point that I master it .
However, sometimes , I would fail to do what he wanted us to do .
I am super disappointed at the kind of calfs i have as it affected my training and my competition apparently .

Although I didnt get anbthing this year , I would like to thank
MrSeem,Miss Wong ,all my seniors and Estella

All Comers -Reflection

It was a great experience for me in the All comers. I was in the Longjump event ,flight 2 .
Although I only got the 12th position, I'll learn how to lose with pride and win with glory .
I wasn't at my best on all-comers . I was totally worn-out , I didn't have any energy to jump & i wasn't at my best. I was also disappointed at the zone distance I've jumped at.
To my surprise , one of my rivals , Wendy from St.Nicks who used to be in the 3rd position for B girls longjump when she was P6, jumped at the same zone as me . But I knew i could keep training and go further .

A girl from the Singapore Sports school who is Secondary 1 this year jumped a distance of 4.75metres ! I was really really shocked then . I knew I had to learn alot from her . I really do admire her talent in longjump.I know that I can be like her as well if I work hard .Through the all comers meet , I've learnt many things from my opponents , I want to learn from them and be ahead of them during the nationals . My Goal now is to jump 4.5metres and get at least into the top 8 .
