heyy guys, Xin here. hmm...had been wondering about the training on Sat. thanks so much Su Lyn, for agreeing to help with the catching thingy. Yeah, you guys know what? Eileen's right. as in, we must train hard and bring the glory to coach, to RGS, and most importantly to ourselves, I mean, we've been training so hard, occasionally scolded by parents for concentrating so much on softball, neglecting our work sometimes due to exhaustion from trainings. What are all these actually for? It's for our championships-to-be.//
Since we're suffering ( so much ) , then why don't we put in our best in every training and put every single minute in every single training to good use? Imagine how much better our skills could get? RGSoftball's a name we share, and RGSoftball c-divs'06's gonna be OUR NAME next year, we're gonna be backbone of the team, to support the division and to guide our juniors along. Despite the fact I've watched several matches in school of our seniors, still, the SRCs at Padang left me the deepest imprint. I mean, you should remember how the seniors smiled at the Tanjong Katong Girls' Match ( if I weren't wrong ), saying they defeated themselves? I remember something clear that I've heard from Jinghan, and I doubt I will forget it as long as I'm still a softballer, that is " We don't care about the score anymore "
Victory's sweet obviously, needless to say, but I was just wondering since we've just started out as the RG c-divs for less than a month. Perhaps we could train like the seniors? The pitchers and catchers who went with me to RI, they should know and should've heard, Coach often mentions, wishing we're as automatic as his RI B-boys. Just look at them? It really does pay off, their RI sec4s were a consecutive golden batch. Although we've one of our years down, we could work hard for the rest of these 3 years, especially since RP's executed now. We could concentrate more. Eileen may be right in saying winning ain't important as long as we try. But as in, Coach had once commented that we're a fast batch, meaning our standard ain't bad, so why shouldn't we be confident to beat others to the championships next year?
Congratulations Joelle and Mandy, we'll fly high with you guys in lead. 6 years down the road, and all I wanna say in this post is, can we try to get the championships next year? Perhaps we're still new to the diamond, knowing the skills not knowing the tactics, but we can learn, and SRCs' for learning, hopefully, by SRCs, we'll be able to tell our own standard and learn from other teams. so...everyone, good luck for your EOYs , hope we come back to train with our morale at the peak.
Think of the day when people speak of RG C-Divs as a formidable team, when we're feared and respected, when people come to learn from us. Then maybe, everything seems lighter now.
Not being mean, but according to Coach, seems like his main concentration's on us next year instead of the RI c-divs, so we musn't let him down...
Just try a little more
and we could achieve something higher than the skies...
We're RG C-divs'06, a team of average teenage girls. We're not angels, we're not perfect, but one thing in mind to remember, we're softballers, softballers who were connected with a common bond -- The day we felt the softball at the tryouts, we were destined to hold the ball for these several years ahead.
