A true display of grit
An indomitable spirit

Yesterday, I watched one of the most exciting matches the girls have ever played. It was a match against Chung Cheng and we were the underdogs. What really struck me was not the fact that our girls were very talented or skilful (no doubt some of them are), but the fact that they gave their best, fought their best and tried their best.

We were losing all the way till the last quarter when we caught up. I really almost fainted, because it seemed like mission impossible. By half-time, we were already down by 12 points. I had seen this team since its beginning and watched it grow, through the good times n the bad times. The beginning of the year, the team faced their biggest challenge. When things did not work out, many of them persevered and encouraged each other. This kind of spirit is valuable. I remember their toughness through their struggles.

Actually I really have so much I want to share about this group of special girls. I will leave it to another blog specially dedicated to them.

We won in the end.

Champions are not those who never lose, but those who never quit.
