Guys!!!Months of hardcore training just for these 2 days of PA Paddles Championship 2008 is all worth it isn't it!!Everyone did their best and came up with no regrets!!Although some of us came back smiling, while others rowed back with a really sad expression on them, I just wanna say that we did pretty well as a team.



For those who won something, it's good to be happy about it, but always remember, COMPLACENY KILLS THE SPIRIT.Never ever think you're really good when you win something cause it can also mean that your competitors are not strong enough, therefore allowing you to win.At the same time continue pushing yourself and challenge yourself, always aiming for greater heights.



For those who didn't win anything, treat it as a wake up call.As you can see that there are stronger rowers out there,and therefore you really need to put in extra effort to be even stronger than them and beat them the next time you see them.Don't give up on yourself.There are many races and you can always train hard and make sure you do well for the next race.Keep trying and never give up.Remember their names and tell yourself you'll win them the next time!




And these 2 days I can really see the team spirit within us.I have been observing everyone since Saturday.Everyone just did what they can for the team.For Benjamin, without his help in video taking, we would never be able to look at how we row and how we can improvise ourselves.Jocelyn and Huey Yen for helping with the admin stuff, rushing here and there just to help us with the registration and taking down of the timings.And LiLing who keeps helping with the launching of the boats.And everyone in team who helped out in whatever way they can.That's what everyone should be doing for the team.It's always for the team, guys.No amount of help is too little for the team.



Each and everyone of us now is important to the team no matter you're in the committee or not, cause we all belong to this big family.It's only with each and everyone of you that we can row together as a team and compete as a team.For now lets all continue training hard together, sweat and go through shit training side by side.And get better and better after every training!Slowly people are starting to be aware of nyp kayaking team, so lets keep it up guys!!!We'll go through it together!!
AS A TEAM CALLED NYP KAYAKING TEAM!!
