Dear all,
It was not long ago when I 'challenged' the teams to fill the gaps left by your seniors who graduated last year. I remember telling you that your seniors were such a great batch that I don't think any future batches will be able to match them, that if your seniors can't qualify for the finals, you guys will have difficulty even making it to the Top 4.
This batch has amazed me with your progress since last November. First of all, I was really delighted by the cross-country results, many of you, if not all, have worked your lungs and hearts out at all the training sessions we have had, attaining high level of fitness. Commitment to training has been awesone too, regardless if its 8pm, 9pm or 10pm, Saturdays, Sundays or Public Holidays, you have time and again continued to impress me with your positive attitude.
We have come so far in this competition, topping our groups, winning our respective semi-final matches and here we are: tomorrow will be the finals!
Let it be a day for everyone of you to cherish for you made it there together as a team.
Let it be a day for everyone of you to remember for it will be where you fight a final battle together
Let it be a day for everyone of you to celebrate for nobody is going to take credit away from you.
Let it be a day when everybody gives their best for VJFB.
fight hard for every loose balls
step up to block every shots
press hard such that they stay in their own half
run with them such that they tire before we do
Remember these:
We have the passion and we are going to have fun
We have confidence in our abilities
We are going to focus on the process of performance
Our mental resilience is strong
We respond to challenges
We have non-thinking, automatic performance
We are relaxed while we perform
Go for it!
