Killer training - The going gets tough, the tough gets going

Today's girl training has been greatly affected by the low attendance. We have only 5 girls on our list. Coach Jason's insanity with physical fitness has caused some minor breakdown with some of the girls. 2 of the girls has been challenged about their physical fitness. With 2 suicides in a row, burpees, some sit-ups and push ups, coach Jason is pushing the girls to the limit.


"Last year we had a star player in our team, who couldn't play in the 3rd-4th placing match. Thanks to his poor level of fitness, he broke down with muscle cramps. It almost caused us the bronze medal. This year, we will try our best to alleviate such risks." says coach Jason.

Asked on whether how she is coping with the training, the most senior player in the team, Sarah Ng answered "Its ok with me."

" The training is more challenging due to less people. The drills are done more frequently than usual and we have less time to rest." said Sarah Ng.

Coach Jason comments," the training is specially designed to fit the players current conditioning. I'm surprise that they couldn't take it. If Sarah can take it, I thought the rest can take it too. Perhaps its due to the cancellation of last week's training due to exams. I have to apologize for my ignorance on their current conditioning. I guess I have high expectations on them. I may have pushed them a bit too early."

Roselyn and Sarah Aida were down with exhaustion. Roselyn looked pale after the training. Sarah Aida went to the toilet while training and vomited. Sarah Aida sighed," Wah, Penatlah !!! "
Pei Li was also down with some minor breakdown. She felt some pain in the stomach for a short while.

The YouthWave tournament is getting closer and closer. Looks like the Frontliners are also setting the standards higher in their training. Like they say, "The going gets tough, the tough gets going."
