Probably My Best IHG Moment...

is leading the girl's soccer team to the title...

i've neva blogged about coaching the girl's team till now cause i didnt wanna hype things up or comment on anything or sometimes just being superstitious that if i talk about it before the tournament we won;t win..etc etc etc.

now that everything's over and we've brought back the gold..its time to let my thoughts out..

anyway firstly i would like to unroll the scroll of honour..

Congratulations to you all..you all have won it for the team for the hall and for yourselves..i'm sure its always a memorable experience to win something..esp something that you worked hard for. and also congrats for being the clear cut soccer champs for the 1st time(no penalties or whatsoever to decide the champ)..and the 1st time for beating EH.

On sunday, what i saw wasn't simply soccer players in all of you..i saw warriors..fighting every moment you are on the battlefield. Words cannot describe how proud I am of all of you. Its an honours to be able to have all of you as my players and to be your coach. Its true when I keep saying that having you all make my job easier. Its every coaches' dream to be able to have players always willing to listen and improve and willing to go the extra mile.

I can safely say safe all of you deserve the medal that you all have won. Not just those who played a big part..everyone of you! My only regret was that I am unable to play everyone of you and not give everyone as much playing time as I would have liked to. And also not being able to have everyone who joined to be in the first 18. Hope you all will forgive me for this, i did everything i could and what i thought and felt was for the best for the team. But i must say that no one should belittle their own contributions. Each one of you was chosen by me specially because i saw something in you and that you are able to contribute to the team. By turning up for trainings and doing what i've instructed..you have already made the difference.

I know many people joined soccer originally for many different reasons. for some,its ur passion, for some its because tts what you're good at, for some its to learn something new, for some its to accompany your friends or make new friends, for some its simply to get some CCA points...but whatever the reason is..i'm sure you all went away learning something and became a richer person.

I'm very glad to see how our team have evolved since last year till now. How strangers became teammates and friends..how a group of diferrent people are able to get organised and work together to achieve a common goal..and how you all improved over this period of time to be worthy of being the IHG champions.

once again..congratulations to all of you and wish you all the very best next yr.
