My captain should have discussed with the rest of the teammates first to decide whether we should follow our coach’s decision. If my team decides to do so, then I guess we just have to face the consequences. Just as what Max advises, our coach is after all looking out for our best interest and we should trust him and his judgment. However, if we decide to go against his wishes, we should row our hearts out for the race and do our best as a matter of respect to our opponents and ourselves. In fact, I do believe that it does not matter which lanes we are in because if we are strong enough, we can overcome all obstacles. This will further prove to our competitors that nothing can come our way. =)
Usain Bolt. Who cares about whether you're cocky or not. Is all about winning in the end. Haha.
What REALLY happened in the end…
We felt rather guilty of what we had done but we decided not to harp on it and concentrate on the finals. After all what was done was done. Our captain had earlier mentioned that we should not be affected by what others said and was time to prove what we were capable of during the finals. This caused us to be more motivated as we wanted to detract the speculations about us. Ultimately we won the finals and by a huge margin! The first in the years of NUS dragonboat. We subsequently won the coveted ‘Prime Minister’s Cup’ too! It was a joyous moment for us and our coach even insisted that we should shake hands with our rivals and congratulate them which we did. In the end it was not about what people thought about us but about what we thought about ourselves and knowing that we had done our utmost best eventually.
The glorious moment. Winning the PM cup race.
