Any thing you want to say to inspire people to take up your sport:
Take it only if you have the passion
Silas is currently studying in the tourism academy of Sentosa. Although it is quite far, he never fails to turn up to training. This shows his commitment to the track team and his love for the sport. As quoted above, he states “take it only if you have the passion” this goes out to all the people who are currently not sure if they want to continue with track. As you know it is a very time consuming sport and quite a number of sacrifices must be made. A question that leaves us pondering why he never misses trainings is maybe this is because he lives opposite Temasek poly? But no I don’t think so. It is because of his love for track.
Known to his friends as Silas aka big/sexy calves. He never fails to be the centre of attention during trainings. He is a decent guy to joke and kid around with however during the workouts he is dead serious about his trainings. This kind of mentality is required in such a big team, helping out coach to control the athletes in need of help.
As this is your first year in charge, we hope to see you step up and fulfil the true role of a captain in the team. This will help to lead us into victory this year and also to build up the name of TP track and field in the years to come.
