I will miss team nv athletics
Dear athletes,
I am presently at KK hospital waiting for Alyxa. She's not feeling well. That is why I'm here at 2am. There are a lot of things going in my mind now. And I think I'll share with you.
It's been 5 years I've coached the team and after 2 years, the team did well and started winning several medals. I remembered the first time our team won the national cross country back in 2011 and subsequently 2012. In addition, I remember the joy of qualifying for the national track finals and the best result would be this year- national cross medal, 9 national track finals and 1 athlete chosen to represent Singapore.
I will never forget the hard work put in by the team. The camaraderie and the bond shared among the members. I will never forget when the team broke traditions and started to share the podium with the elite schools. This is a testament of hardwork and faith. And that if you work hard, you will excel in your work.
Now, as I think about the times we ran together, train together and even played games together, it brings tears to my eyes as I'm really proud to see you guys bloom.
From 2013, I am stepping down as the coach for the team. For the older students, you'll know I'm a frank and earnest person. I really feel sad to stop. But it is inevitable. I remembered I kept telling myself that I have to be strong and not show my sadness when i address you guys. That is why I chose to write it all down.
Remember that all of you are good. You have the potential. And you will do well. The future belongs to you and you shape the future.
I will always remember all of you fondly. I know I've tried my best and if the best is not good enough, I can only say I've put in all.
Remember to be strong and I will miss you all. Always put in your best and I am glad to have nurtured so many excellent athletes and people of fine character.
Alyxa is still under observation and I believe one day, she may take up running. And I hope one of you will coach her like the way I coached you.
One team one race team NV.
- Coach and training partner always.

Keep training and keep going
Dear all,
Remember to train hard. There are times we feel down. We feel that no matter how hard we train, we find it hard to improve even 1 second. As long as you train hard, you will improve. If you continue to put in efforts, you will reap your rewards.
4 years have passed. During my course of training, our team had produced 3 head prefects: Nicholas, Zion and another one who will be taking over this Friday. It is no coincidence that we have 3 head prefects. It is the discipline developed in running that helped develop you.
I am also happy that I had produced excellent athletes, such as Jian Da, Bryan Cheng and more. They are talent scouted and valued. Yet, they are humble and hardworking. Every time they get injured, they ice their injuries and plow on.
I am also very happy with students I had developed and are responsible and excellent people in life. They are Mr Kevin, Ryley, Mei qiu, Fraser, Hui teng and more. I am sure they will remember the training and the pain we had put in.
Presently, I have reliable captains, like Kennedy, who is a good example. He never gives up. And keeps going. I believe he thinks the same way I do - that life is short and there is no time to slack.
Life is never easy and never fair. We must never hold on to any injustice or feel that we are shortchanged...eventually giving up. We should use this as a source of inspiration to move and work hard.
Today, I heard during a PE lesson, a comment was made: "Desmond, you will never catch up with Mr Will" I do not agree. This is because you will continue to improve and overtake me. This is because you are young and will continue to improve as long as you work hard.
Whenever you feel like giving up, hold your head high, think of your abilities and ask yourself how you can train harder. Remember, a true runner will never question the intensity of the training. He will always ask how much more he can take. There is no finish line for a runner.
