Hello Team,
It is nearing OUR season and I can sense that everyone is anxious and excited about the Nats.
Some encouragement to3 groups of people:
1. To the seasoned and experienced ones
This is the final Track competition that you might ever take part after this. Treasure and savour every moment that runs up to the last time you cross the finishing line. It might have been a really 'suay' season with injuries, setbacks and fears that you might have, but nonetheless, you have gone through them all. I urge you to take hold of your experiences and use them to help run your final race. Own the competition and make it one that you will always remember. You may not reach your goals or targets. But go out there and give it your best shot. Like what I always say: Go compete and come out it without regrets. That's the more important thing.
2. To those who are taking part in Nationals for the first time ever:
Congrats on pulling through a really tough and perhpas questionable year of training from last year. Along way, some of us might have thought of giving up track and leaving the team. But I am glad that you held onto the team and continued to train together with the team.
Some of us might be feeling really scared about the Nationals Schools. It is THE event for us. But don't succumb to the fears that you have. We have trained as much as we could, been through much pain, sweat and sacrifices to reach here. Some of us have thoughts of giving up because of self-doubts and begin to experience loss of self-confidence. Stop doing destructive self-talk and causing yourself to lose confidence. Coach and the teachers are confident that you guys are going to put your best effort out there. If you lose hope and confidence in yourself and in our judgement, then you have already lost your race.
You have trained as hard as anyone could. Don't waste your efforts by thinking lowly about your abilities and your preparations. Like earlier: Go out there, compete with honour and good sportsmanship and come out of your competition without regrets, because you have given your best shot at the competition. Whatever the results, we are proud of your acheivements.
3. Those who are injured and sick
We do whatever we can with our limitations. We don't curse at our shortcomings or the bad timings of our injuries. It may very discouraging to be kept away from trainings because of our injuries and sickness. But really in this run-up to the Nationals, please take care of yourself and be very disciplined about nursing your health and your injury. We must be disciplined in training and in rehab, if we want to get back on our feet with almost 100% condition.
I hope that you have been encouraged by what I have said.
Ok, during the first 2 weeks of Term 4, Trainings will only be on tuesdays and Fridays, same timings as usual. Extra training will be on your own initiative, strictly. But do keep the teachers posted on your extra trainings coz we don't want you to over-train and neglect your BT2.
Will keep you posted of trainings during Nationals after BT2.
Meantime:
1. Rest and sleep sufficiently.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Take Mulit-vitamins (esp Vit C, Vit Bs)
4. Take care of your injuries (Visit the physio if needed)
5. (if those of us who pray) Pray

Hi Trackers,
Track camp has come and ended. Glad that the camp went well and ended with high notes for the upcoming Nationals. When all that ends well, it is something to be thankful for.
However, the teachers were not able to find an opportune time to make a really important announcement regarding the upcoming National Schools Track & Field competition from 5 -16, 18 July.
The coach and the teachers have come together and have finalized the representations for the school team for this year.
But before the list is released, some words to encourage and motivate:
It wasn’t easy to build up the team from the humble beginning last year. It is amazing how track has changed to where we are now. We have seen one batch of seniors graduated and the current JC 2 who have been throug the beginnings have seen some of their teammates fall away from track.
But many of us who have continued to stick together, chose to continue training and pushing beyond personal boundaries. We deserve the privilege to be part of the representation. For many, it is now the fruits of our labour and hard work. For some, it was a year of reflection and realization that things can change and will turn out better if we don’t give up, are willing to humble ourselves to learn after failures, learn to cope with injuries and learn to reflect. These processes have brought you guys to where you are now.
Please strongly consider attending the last few training sessions before the start of our most important competition of the year and try not to miss any training. Take care of your health during this physically and mentally straining periods by drinking and eating properly, resting enough and taking vitamins (Especially Vitamin C and B) to keep your immune system up.
Note of encouragement to those who were not selected this year:
Don’t give up yet. We just started and we got a long road ahead to become faster and stronger.
We may not see our efforts reaping results. You will see yourself becoming better and stronger over time, if you choose to. But I can assure you that results will not come easily to those who are impatient, uncommitted or ill-disciplined.
It's not our apititude that determines our altitude;
It's our attitude that determines how high we will soar.
We may not see ourselves to be the competition material and all we really want is to maintain our passion for running, throwing and jumping. But don’t see competitions as something that you learn to hate or something that you don’t see yourselves doing. Treat them as new experiences. Perhaps, it might even inspire you and change your perspective about being in competitive sports like track and field. We are here from different backgrounds for different reasons. But one thing that links us together is the sport/ event that we are doing.
Remember:
We are one….ONE DREAM ONE TEAM….All the way TEAM SAJC Track!
