IFG :)

This is my personal blog, so i'm just gonna put down my most truthful words down.

At first, I deeply regretted joining this year's ifg for basketball girls.
I disliked how disunited and scattered the team was and very quickly dreaded going for trainings.
Some of us wished that this team is able to play like how their old team used to be.
Some of us thought that they are alrd good enuf and became complacent in improving or
unwilling to admit mistakes.
I disliked how distracted my mind was while playing pointguard (PG) during casual half-court games.
I hated how much i relied on my captain and didn't put in my best during the first few matches.
I couldn't stand my lousy adaptation to new people too.
Am i in the first place not a social person?
I think it's due to my strong dignity and pride being a basketballer.

After a few matches, i kept on reflecting on myself and the team,
as well as my interactions with the team.
I began to realise this commitment that i chose to take on has much deeper
lessons, meanings, motivation, dynamics, potential and experiences...

Instead of the old notion of forging close bonds with the teammates,
i learnt that challenging oneself to improve as a team player and being more versatile
is the main breakthrough that all of us should have aimed for in the first place.
I'm not saying that we didn't bond with each other at all,
just that we were all pressed for time and had so much other commitments and friends that
all our hearts do not have enough capacity to accomodate everyone else in the team.
IFG came and went in the twinkling of an eye.
I really enjoyed the company and groupmates and laughters
we shared during trainings and games.
Even during scolding sessions, all of us kept the positive attitude to improve ourselves at the end of the day.

The games that we had won,
the games the we lost.
The disappointment we shared,
the excitement that we created together.
Every single one of us played our parts,
every single one of us improved tremendously as we could see from the very last match.

I wanna thank these people <3

Coach Jason, Captain Yihan, Teammanager Jillene,
Guards Linda, Dinah, Pris Teng, Adeline;
Forwards & centres Bernie, Shuwen, Min li, Lydia, Melissa, Lixuan, Pris Goh and Joeyee...
I hope i didn't miss out anyone. Hehe.

I wish everyone could join IFG again next year.
I'll ensure that we fight into the top 3 the next time round.
Cos i'm gonna work on my shooting and passing and vision as PG. :)

I want to play with my old team again. I want to win and play seriously next year.

PS: thought of joining IVP, but shan't be so ambitious
when i have more important dreams in mind, getting CAP 4.5!Hohoho.
Wanna turn dream into reality sialll. Ok.
Time to mug, kthxbyeeee. :D
