16.09 seconds per suicide attempt !!!


Last Saturday, coach Jason clocked each of his player's performance in doing suicides. It was a "triple stage suicide" attempted to set the record for the Frontliners Floorball Club.

As for the latest records, Mekananth and Sarah Ng holds the fastest time clocked to complete a suicide in PBSM hall. Both of them set the pace for the Frontliners at a record of 16.09 seconds(Mekananth) for the boys and 17.54(Sarah Ng) for the girls respectively. The slowest of all is at 22.12 second.

Coach Jason said" from now on, 22.12 seconds will be our benchmark for the minimum time taken to complete the suicides. Any layperson should be able to make it to that mark."

After praised by his colleagues, Mekananth humbled himself and encouraged the others, "hey guys, maybe you will beat my record after this round."

"Mekananth is a natural athlete. He is a natural sprinter equipped with unlimited stamina that only the sky is the limit. Even without disciplined training and down with a "runners knee", he is still able to beat the rest and set the Frontliners record. I think he can run faster than most of the seasoned players and can still last like an ENERGIZER battery. You've got to see it to believe it." said coach Jason.

Even Sarah Ng acknowledged,"the boys should have clocked faster than that."

"Mekananth's only problem is that his legs move faster than his arms. He's got to learn to be useful defensively. If he can solve that, he can be a very good floorballer. We are now waiting to see him master the proper floorball techniques." says coach Jason.

As for the whole boys training, the atmosphere was great. The boys finally mastered themselves and learned to give out everything for the team. It was the FRONTLINERS SPIRIT. During the match, there was a series of quick passes and interchange of the ball. The ball is now traveling faster and faster in PBSM these days. The goals scored are no longer individual efforts but based on the collective team work displayed by non-individualistic individuals. Even the newbie, Chin Guan that joined us this week got to score a couple of goals on his debut.

Asked on how he felt about his debut, Chin Guan commented, "Floorball is fun. I like the team spirit here. Id like to join you guys for training next time."

Mekananth praised the newbie, Chin Guan for his enthusiasm on floorball,"Its amazing that Chin Guan get to score on his debut. Even when I started, I couldn't score."

" I always tell my players, this is not a national squad where you compete against one another for your places. But rather, this is a club where we all grow together. I'm so proud of my players that they finally understood what the FRONTLINERS SPIRIT is all about. People can take your medal away. Who cares. Let them have it. But they can't take your hearts unless you let it go. Every time we play we bring our hearts along. Cause we are FRONTLINERS !!! " states coach Jason with an emotional tone.
