PATIENCE!

Dear teammates,
I understand that at this point of time, we sometimes get frustrated easily with ourselves and with our teammates while playing the game live. However, I urge everyone to be slightly patient with one another and at the same time patient with ourselves. Not every time our plays can work magically. However, it is the patience we need to produce to handle situation like this. Chong Chee’s seniors have been very worthy training partners and have provided us a lot of learning opportunities. We need to value these chances.
By patience I don’t mean to play it like slow motion or follow strictly to the set plays. By patience, I mean it is to observe, it is to understand, it is to spot your teammates and get them into scoring positions or opportunities. By patience, I mean to execute the right play against the defense. By patience, I mean to break away for fast-break at clear cut opportunity and reset the play if opponent’s defense has smothered the breakaway. By patience, I mean to understand ourselves ultimately by polishing our strength and work on our weakness. A famous player once said to me,” your team doesn’t have the size. But it doesn’t matter. Work on your strength to make up for the weakness.” – Shen Qing Liang a.k.a Ah Liang. (haha)
Isn’t it very true? If we have everything to win, what is the point of have training? Then where do we get the satisfaction from working hard and working together?
