Hi Guys,
Kennard here.. Allow me to say something that's been on my mind for quite a period of time..
Attendences and committments suck.. I understand the rigorous schedules which is unique to everyone, as such, everyone is entitled to their own priorities.. However, take some time to think about the welfare of the team.. It's unhealthy to continue practising such irresponsibility towards training sessions.. It's beginning to piss me off.. The reasons you guys give for the inability to commit to trainings are personally, ridiculous and ludicris.. Being injured and wanting to rest is one, having a game prior to training is another, tired, not enough sleep, having other events.. When you guys provide some reasons for your absence, do think about the fact that I have a busy schedule as well, having to juggle research, IVP soccer, IH, family, gf, friends and training you guys.. At the same time, i'm also suffering from ankle ligament damage..
At the same time, if there are 10 + of people out there who are able to make it for trainings, I don't see why some of you can't.. I'm also tired, burnt out and having insufficient sleep, so you aren't the only person on the boat..
The first game is on next wednesday, against hall 2.. Everyone knows how difficult this game will be.. I'm returning from malaysia early just to make it for the game and at the same time, sacrificing my position and place in the IVP team to ensure this hall meets our target of hitting the quarter-finals.. I don't mean to brag, but hall soccer means so much to me as well..
The bottom line is, we have a genuine lack of quality and quantity during training sessions, training with 10 + is never enough, we don't even have sufficient to play a 2 sided game, and if you guys are to continue your 'behaviour', then you won't only be letting me down, you'll be letting your team-mates, and the hall down..
If you guys don't give a shit about hall 13 soccer and subscribe to my views, then i'll gladly refund the $30 to you, after all, there're others who have not yet applied for their preferred number on the jerseys..
It's just what came to my mind after seeing the dismal attendence on thurs, sat and sun.. I'm still friendly and hopefully, a nice guy..
So hopefully, I'll see all of you guys for training tomorrow and on thurs.. Thanks..

im sry to be saying this, but part of the reasons for the poor attendance was due to the last min notification of training..
ReplyDeleteit a gd idea for us to feedback our availability to training in this blog, but the training dates are out only 1-2 days before the training, only sometimes tt the dates are posted 3-4 days earlier. we may alrdy planned something on the day of training before knowing when is the upcoming training.
to add on to this, some pple dun go online regularly to check the dates.
its jus my opinion towards this issue, no hard feelings. we are afterall in the same team, in the same hall, wanting to do well.
btw, when is the other 2 games gg to be??
pls understand this, i am only able to plan my schedule on a sun, when my mentor and i discuss and plan the week ahead.. so i apologize for the late information.. secondly, i have been saying this repeatedly over and over again, do check the blog regularly for updates.. i'm not absolving anyone of the blame, but it's not hard to check the blog once every night before you sleep, isn't it?
ReplyDeletethe other 2 games are tentatively on the 2nd and 5th..
