Here goes... What the F**K is going on???? Why is everything so luan qi pa zao??? Alot of time people divert from the common goal and dwell into their own idealistic world which... I SAY again...will NEVER conform to everyone's liking. Maybe we should ask ourselves a few questions... What is Dragonboating and Canoeing to us as a "CCA" ??? You as a coach or a team member... what do you aim to acheive from you role??? To me the guildline is very clear and concise... CCA is a extra curricular activity (ECA???) hmm... Somthing you do over your free time. Something you ENJOY doing, something that can OFFER you the thrill and sense of fufilment derived from competitive sportmanship. Something to enrich everyone participating...mentally and physically. -Simple. Whats our role and respondsibilty? Train Hard, Have Fun, Be Competitive. -Clear. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sports management is nothing unlike business management... Your recuritment, training, perks offered, work enviorment, ambience, managers-workers co/relationship, Pr, interpersonal relationship...on and on... Which ever area you and i fail, take some time to identify and rectify it. (It does take guts and balls to admit it and not find back alley to sniggered into or push the blame to someone else...) Regimentation... Im an avid supporter of it!!! But... is it Forced Regimen or Common Consensus Regimen??? Regimen in past was used as a form of filter for unwanted,dun cum waste my time people... Once you get your core group, train them as if they are your MOST PERCIOUS!!! And when respect is gained and unity forms, regimentation during training comes naturally becoz everyone take pride in what they are doing and represent. Thats the ultimate... Its like... if you want to slap someone, slap him hard - but offer him a sweet at the end of the ordeal, Slap him again and offer a sweet, Slap him yet again and offer a better sweet. slap him until he comes begging to be slapped knowing that he'll get a candy at the end of the day. And to all out there past present future, if ever you wanna "kan" juniors or anybody, take one step back and reflect upon yourself. Do you have what it takes to kan that someone else? Do you have the "say(style)" to kan others? Do you know the art of "kanning" people? aka my slapping theory? Do you have enough PR to "kan" that somebody? PR - Personal Relationship? nah.. more of Physical and Respect! ----------------------------------------------------------------- End of the day... this is just a sport... there is no place for unhappiness in the boat. yours truly - Glenn (the rare) Seow ('97 Capt)

About us
The history of the team has been lost in the distant annals of time… But its traditions and values live on In the teams and rowers of today.
- We believe in:
- Doing Our Best that we are accountable only to ourselves and our conscience, and so long as we have done our best, we have nothing to be ashamed of
- Believing In Ourselves That when push comes to shove, we dig deep within ourselves
- Believing In Each Other That we will stand up as a team, against all adversity
- Humility That quiet confidence wins respect, not arrogance.
- But most of all, we believe in
- Friendship That when things get rough, we can lean on each other
And so, through the years, through many teams, many captains, many coaches, and many teachers, the ACJC Canoeing and Dragonboat Team has evolved and changed. Each Team, each year, with its own character, its own personality, its own desire for success.
Some years, we win. Some years we don’t.
But the Team doesn’t rest on its laurels, nor does it focus on past glories. Each year we strive to be better. And each year we remember that what makes a team great is not medals or championships, but Character, Humility, and Friendship.
