Circuits training today was okay. Not as horrifying as Yong made it sound. There were so many junior girls today, thanks to Joycelin :) I wonder how many of them will actually stay on in the team. Especially someone, whose name I shall not mention. If she COMPLAINS in front of me again, I really think I'm gonna blow my top. The bottom line is, if you don't want to push yourself, if you think that there's a LIMIT to what you can take, then the team isn't for you. If you want to be a princess, NJCanoeing just isn't the right cca for you. There will be zero guniang-ness in the team, and I have absolutely zilch tolerance for people who have the nerve to ask me if they can stop running, or if I can slow down the pace. If you're not gonna do the circuits continuously, and keep giving up on yourself, there's no point. She got a taste of my temper today, and if she's not careful, during ball games she will get whacked.
Peishan says we can't be too soft on the juniors, and I agree. Sure, there will be some allowances, like I don't expect them to be able to keep up all the time, but at least show me that you're trying and that you have the right mentality? All talk, no action - that's how I view her. I hope I can change that mindset soon.
