REFLECTION!
Guys, after looking at the video against nus high. There are alot of things we need to improve on. Especially on our reaction of changing over and of course, our passing. There are alot of things we did to nus high which we did not execute against nus A. Try to overcome your kanjiong-ness, because that is the main reason to lead to our mistakes. Remember every mistake would give our opponents a chance to score. Nevertheless, I do see our team improving, keep trying and never give up.

URGENT NOTICE!
Okay, Junwei just informed me that there will be no poolslot this week and probably the next as well until bookings of the poolslot have been confirmed.
Which means there is no training this Sat and Sun (23rd & 24th) but the NTU friendlies will be shifted to Sunday (24th) night 7pm - 11pm at NTU pool instead.
PLEASE MEET IN SCHOOL AT 5PM SHARP ON SUNDAY!
For those who cant make it please let either me or Junwei know.
Yes, I know this is a very last minute thing but it has already been confirmed. About where we're planning to meet and stuff, we'll discuss about it later.
For the mean time, try to self gym or go for runs since some of you have already finished your papers.

And for those who keep missing trainings and pooslots(even with excuses like sick or projects), or cant even be bothered to always be on time, just quit canoe polo, seriously. You know who you are.

Weekly Runs
As usual, we're going to run on saturday and sunday morning.
It is not optional.
So it's 10am and 8.15am for the running timings on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Dont be late.
The reason why im even posting this is because, weekly runs are a regular now. So stop asking around if there will be runs the following day. I will only sms you guys if runnings are cancelled, else runnings will be as per usual.
And if you think you have a reason to skip runnings but have time to go down for poolslot, go fuck yourself. We dont need weak-minded players like you.
ANYWAYS:
And I have something to tell you all about Alvin's Birthday party tmr. So if you dont turn up tmr, too bad. (:

Dear Juniors,
i hope you all see the difference if you all had that extra running just before training on sat and sun. this is not the toughest training yet but dun worry... the training will be progressive. take just 10mins of your time to sit down and think about the training and continue update your notebook.... i will do random spot check so you all better update it as often as i update this blog.
for those who came down for today sunday training, i hope you all can see that its not hard to win the year 2... as long as you all play accordingly and follow all the stuff that your seniors taught you... but of course just 1 win does not mean you are already as good as the year2. remember i said that you all have to respect your opponent, be it senior or junior... dun be complacent. be humble and always learn from mistakes. you all need more constant training and must play well and 100% effort for all training. remember wat i always told you.... if other win you, is cuz that they train harder than you. so in order to win them you all need to train double hard or even triple... train hard n have no regrets... i have faith in you guys. you all can do it.
remember for your sprinting stroke
- push n pull
- twist ur upper body
- sit up straight
- punching arm at eye level, not too high not too low
- try to lean forward -> so that u can reach further and use ur body to pull the boat forward!
- dun use the paddle to tap the water, dip in and scoop the water!
top 3 must improve skills for training
- reaction... you all are still too slow...
- sprinting.. slow too...
- ball passing...
rest well and we will continue training on sat again. run will start at 10am sharp.

NTU 3 on 3 debrief
Hello Junior Guys,
i hope you guys had fun playing 3 on 3... ur 1st polo competition but not quite an official one since its only 3 on 3... but i still have to say that you guys did a pretty good job *claps* but there is still alot of things for you all to learn and improve....
remember to always respect your opponent so that you can learnt from your mistakes and their mistakes.... learn from the very best and not the worst...
mistakes
- i think before the matches i told you all to find empty space... some follow some dun... after awhile all up end at one side....
- alot of you are still looking at ball and NOT MOVING!!! YOU NEED TO PUSH THE ZONE!!! push open the zone to let ur team mate to drive in and shoot!!! that's why we have the drill drive in and shoot remember?
- alot of you take for granted that the ball is at your side but end up alot of ur opponents just go over your side and snatch your ball.... REMEMBER to always get the ball first and IF SOMEONE COMING FOR YOU.... SHIELD the ball!!
- when you all are in zone... you all focus too much on your own position that you all didnt realise that u all can actually block some of your opponents passes. you all must learn when to bring up your paddle and help your keeper block the shots... cover your opponent's angle and reduce their shooting range... force them to pass out of the zone so that your chaser can block the ball!!
-you all do too many loop pass.... loop pass are very slow and opponent will always look at the ball and estimate where it will land and go for it.... by the time you receive the ball you realise someone already bang you boat!! you ever realise that?? do fast n short passes... that's why seniors always ask you pass and go!
on the positive note...
jace pointed out that everyone should learn to cover another's mistake...
- yes.. that's why we shouldnt scold anyone during game. control our feelings and mind... dun let it control you... likewise you control your boat and not your boat control you.... instead of scolding and dwell on the mistake... use that same energy to motivate and encourage your team mates and tell them wat to do and cover where... you will find it alot nicer to play games with your team mates :)
in summary....
personal skill
- swing your paddle more to block balls & reduce opponent's passing range
- do more bow dip for attacking zone...
gameplay
- find empty space
- keep moving (so that their zone cant mark you)
- always do something! (you can push the zoner or find free space or support your team mate)
- build GPS into your brain (know where is your opponent, your team mates and your ball! of course you also must PLAN WHERE TO GO!)
ok that's it... i try to think of watever i can think of and tell you all next training...
from now onwards:
everyone have to bring shoes
- run one round campus before any water training
- if you dun run, you will get it from me...
bring notebook
- write down your notes n share with your team mates....
clear mind
- have any problems come talk to me
a goal for the training
-achieve something during a training
put in 100% effort in training
- if not might as well dun come training
if you have sch work to settle
- try to arrange after training, one training u miss IS ALOT!
- one layer of fats around your body or one layer of muscle.... up to you to decide :)
see you all next training!
rest well
Alvin Leeeeeeeeee
Canoepolo quote of the day

DOLPHIN'S LEGACY
HAH HAH HAH! LEGACY!
Okay abit lame, but I want to congratulate everyone in the NTU 3on3.
Like what Benji said, we did really well, and I'm sure he's proud of all of us.
Well done NP1 in getting 3rd. We did our school and name proud!
But this is just the beginning! We will definitely bring more victories ahead!
Although some of us did not perform well and did not win many matches, we did show the right winning attitude and played a fair game. We have managed to gain friends and supporters from different schools throughout this competition and that is something we should hold on to.
Most importantly we have managed to gain the experiences for our future games. We must continue to work hard and train hard, surpassing those who we have lost to.
LONG LIVE KXD!
Our school reputation depends on us now!
oh and,
Alvin Lee is officially our team's advisor whether he likes it or not. Haha.
