.enriched.
if anyone is to ask me how's my holidays so far, I will say it has been rather fulfilling, happy and interesting. To those who are interested, I am currently taking up a NCAP Coaching Theory Course at Civil Service College that provides coaches with additional knowledge on how to be a better coach. Something interesting about this course would be getting to interact with different kinds of coaches(tennis,soccer,gymnas,squash,you name it etc..) & knowing how their profession is like. Also, since everybody is rather aligned in their goals, there are pretty many common topics to talk about during break time. Oh, Jos Yeo happens to be my coursemate too!
Personally, I find this course extremely useful and enriching because it effectitively guides me on how to be a better coach. Stuff like putting yourself in the shoes of the players, striking a balance btw social and task etc etc have struck me that being a good coach needs lots of effort actually. It's not just about YOU, but your interaction/communication with your students. A coach makes a huge difference in his student's life and it's important to realise a bad/irresponsible coach can only produce sub-standard students. Also, I especially like the part which coaches of different sports share their experiences & issues to the whole course...
Overall, with all the workshops that I have attended so far, I felt there is so much to reflect upon. I might need to learn to strike a balance to my task-oriented working attitude. I might need to learn to be a better son & friend. I might need to be more sensitive towards others. I might need to be more firm & plan before every coaching session... I might need to be more encouraging ... I might need to..... *endless*
Also, planning AsoC camp so far has been extremely stressful, but fun. It's great seeing the whole committee bonded together, travelling around Sentosa laughing away, having fun during steamboat YET able to concentrate on the task allocated to them. For those who read my blog, a big THANK YOU. ( Those quieter ones, please interact more... )
Lastly, i wish to thank you for being so nice. thanks for being so thoughtful & considerate at all times. thanks for bringing joy into my life. thanks for listening to my rants. and last but not least, thanks for the shirt!
