Yoyo people! Nicolea, Atiqa and I went to watch the guys face off TPJC at TPJC this afternoon... the match was very fast-paced and some of the guys' skills were damn good and hold lots of learning points for us...haha, n i bet we can do it too! anyway, the match is not really the point, but if u wanna hear abt it, just ask the 3 of us...AND! if u wanna hear dark stuff abt Mr Tan, our teacher-in-charge, (for those who have been living in a cave), come ask us too :)
anyway, some friendly advice for the J1s or those who have never played in a tournament before from a nice senior and friend:
1) Be prepared mentally and emotionally. DO NOT let the scoreline bring you down. You will only truly be defeated when YOU defeat yourself! (wah, super deep...)
2) Eat more healthily and drink lots of water during this period so that you wont fall sick. (Pris, especially YOU!)
3) Take care of yourself during trainings and matches and dont come out the worse for wear.
4) Keep a tight lid on yourself during the match. Dont lose your temper at your opponents and the referee.
5) Communicate! Do not be afraid to speak out when you feel that you have a point to make. Communicate necessarily on the field!
6) DO NOT adopt a defeatist attitude before even fighting the match, or the opponents will have already won have the battle.
7) Prepare yourself mentally because there will be people watching the matches. DO NOT let the spectators affect your mood or get to you.
8) Channel your full concentration and energy towards the match and VICTORY! Do not think about other stuff during the match.
9) Do not bear a grudge towards teammates for past mistakes committed. LET IT GO! Every mistake is a learning point!
10) Sleep early the day before matches to ensure vitality during matches!
here's how you should be spending your math tutorials to gain energy for the matches:
