Message from Ethan THE COACH!

Hello my fellow HUATimates,

Sorry for such a late post on UKM, been busy. So here goes, I heard many “sorry” eh that day, don’t be and instead be proud like I am. Your heart must have sank when you saw Take 1 and El-Ninos in the same group(we captains tried to change but no time). Don’t worry about the loss, instead take it as a challenge, maybe challenge us back end of the year see how much you have improved.

UTeM(UFO) is a uni team from Malacca, evenly matched with you guys, lotsa semangat which is damn good. Btw you guys are the youngest team that day I think, heard got another USJ team but didn’t have in the end.

Good : Your spirit!(Most important thing in Ultimate) if there is a spirit award, surely you guys have high chance of getting it. The fun you guys are having, my time in CHS didn’t have such a big team also.

Bad : Well, hmm…. Ahhh…..ahh…. ahh…. Being the youngest team lo, hard to play against adults and being new, making mistakes, and losing games. Hope you take it as a motivation.

To learn : If you have watched Take 1 or AUR games, you would have noticed some system of playing(strategy). That is what you want to achieve, and before that, most of your turnovers are because of bad decisions and bad throws. Basic skills have to be practiced. And also don’t forget the intensity of a tournament! How hard other people defense, makes it that much harder for you to attack, and you have to defense even harder as well.

Guys : Keep having fun, train hard and improve lo, HUAT ah!

Girls : Learn from Take 1 and AUR girls, they tapao every other team. Hope you learn something from them, don’t give up, they are the pro among the pro girls. Do drills I introduced and practice every other thing.

For the guys, one of my teammate commented he like Siang Yi’s enthusiasm that he brought to the field. I personally liked everyone else’s efforts too, Yu Wei, Wooi Teik, Jian Wei MVP, DaWei, Ting Jien 3Pointer, Gan Zhang Superman, Jian Bang and all.

Keep this in mind, sucky tournament no problem, good experience bad experience is also experience, with experience you will improve, and you all guys and girls just had!

Hmm… that’s all I can think of right now, best of luck for coming tournament!

Huat huat ultimate,

Ethan
