A New Beginning

1st January 2009.

First off, on behalf of the team I'd like to wish Lara all the best in all her future undertakings in the UK. As most of you may know, Lara has parted from us to further her tertiary studies at the Concord College in Shrewsbury, United Kingdom. The team is looking forward to see you again when you come back to visit in June.

The year 2008 was a great year for all of us. As all the partying has finally come to an end, 2009 is here! It's a new year, with new beginnings and new experiences to be penned down in this blog.

It's that time of the year again where we welcome back current players and recruit new blood. We hope those who signed up to join G12 will take the matter seriously and attend each and every training we have.

Things will change. The elected successors will take over the duties of past leaders and form a new committee. "Cooperation is key". We hope the team would cooperate well with each other.

The new year calls for new resolutions, and therefore I think that this year, G12's resolution should be - not to be tardy. "Time and tide waits for no man". Training starts at 2.15pm, and it is expected that each and every one of us should be at the gym by that time. Late comers will be fined. Lower Secondary students have no excuse, as classes end at 1.25pm on Wednesdays. Science Stream students are not excused either, they just have to take the initiative to get to the gym by the time training starts.

As for the club, I hope that the club gains more recognition. I want the club to inspire and to be inspired by the other clubs around. We are good at what we do. We just have to strive a little bit harder. I quote Althea Gibson, who said that "in sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best". So come on, girls! Let's go out there and win them medals once again!

The girls of G12. We make G12 what it is today. We are the beat of this heart. I hope that the girls of G12 will continue to support each other, and to cheer on for each other; and to keep that passion for floorball burning!

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
- Michael Jordan


"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision."
