This article interviews Mr Goh Yong Hang, an ex-teacher and softball coach of Catholic High School. He speaks about his training philosophy where softball is concerned and is very clear on where he stand with regards to student discipline.

But when a Barcelona player wins the ball, he doesn’t try for a splitting pass. The club’s attitude is: he has won the ball, that’s a wonderful achievement, and he doesn’t need to do anything else special. All he should do is slot the ball simply to the nearest teammate. Barcelona’s logic is that in winning the ball, the guy has typically forfeited his vision of the field. So he is the worst-placed player to hit a telling ball.

Even this man’s claim that “I knew about football, I could do the on-pitch things” is dubious. Does Rijkaard, or Diego Maradona, know more about football than Jose Mourinho, whose total experience as a player was a few minutes in Belenenses reserves? Did Keane’s knack for geeing up teammates on the field translate once he had become a jockey?

Sometimes you don’t feel good. The goals don’t come. sometimes you miss the goal, but you never give up because you don’t feel good. You must believe in yourself. Than you’re going to be good, then you’re going to be the best, and nobody can stop you.

Please note that attendance is compulsory and any absence from training must be supported with valid documentary proof as per school rule. The absentee is responsible for submitting all such document/s to the teacher-in-charge on the next school day when he returns. Absence without valid proof is considered truancy and disciplinary actions will be taken against the offender.
