from green to black

hope

i went back to kallang today to cox. thankfully, because i
was still rather sick so rowing would have been too taxing
for me. i didnt want to back out because it may have made
jackson feel bad, and i didnt want to. so i coxed and i coached
the juniors while the seniors were doing their thang. and i
really wasnt impressed by what i saw from the seniors. i
dont know, but they need to be more agressive. i dont know
how to put it in words, but i dont feel the confidence and
the belief that they can win when i'm close to them on the
water. maybe its just me, but this is translated into
something that i can usually feel if i'm beside a good
competitor.

well. its disappointing to see also that juniors do not
have enough personal coaches to go down with them pass on
the knowledge and correct them. i shant say more but i know
alvin is needed to help the seniors more. if the seniors
cant get their act together, none of the juniors will follow
well. i realize that, sure, we have a training program. but
we lack the quality of coaching and guidance that can only
come with good experience.

i am still hopeful though. i am always hopeful. when the hour
is darkest thats when hope shines brightest. i guess thats
true in my life as well. i believe that something good will
come, all i need to do is last a little longer.
