My take on Sunday Dragons

Had a discussion online last nite with Kennix & XP on the team. XP insisted that we are too -ve and it has affected the morale of the team. She can't understand why we set standard 'so high' and who did we base it on. Is the team consulted? And are we fair to the team when they failed to reach the standard set by just a few of us? She also claimed that the team feels louzy and pressurised to go for training as not all enjoys training.

I agree with her to a certain extent, but my Q is what the direction of the team is? Do we want to compete? When we race, do we want get whacked or do we want to be united as a team and put up one helluva fight? If we do not mind getting whacked all the time, I agree our training is too tough and we got to relax. If we want to see results, then we got to train hard. There is simply no other way to achieve results. XP commented on how -ve we are & why we can’t look at the +ve side of things. Instead of showing our disappointment that onli 3 turned up for training, we should be happy that there are 3 and look forward to more. Haha. That I can't agree with as db is a team sport and every1 needs to have a common goal. Every1 should try to work towards it hand in hand de mah. It is not that we do not want to encourage the team or look at the +ve pts, but the truth is there is not much +vity displayed by the team at all. I really dun understand the pt of saying 'well done!' when it is really crappy lor. It might sound lame, but before pple start complaining; maybe they should reflect on what they have done for the team instead of asking what the team can do for them.

I have to clarify that the committee is not the 1 that sets the standard of how fit or how hard 1 should train. The standard is set by the rowing community who is competing in the same sport as us. The team indicated that they would like to do better for future races after the June race and that is the onli way to do it. Work hard, put in more effort instead of complaining & living in your own world. The team wants to be better without effort. How can that be possible??? I am really tired and sian leow. I think this will most probably be Sunday Dragons’ last race if we are competing in the Regatta.
