team republic lifesaving 2011.

this welcomed the juniors to the competitive side of lifesaving as a sport. i hope that after watching us all compete, you guys are more motivated to train harder and create a piece of history with the team.

it's never easy to build up a team. it's never easy to keep people with us and it's definitely not easy to bring home medals all the time. but that's really besides the point. we want more than just medals. we want a team that's not just strong physically but mentally as well. that's what being a lifesaver is about. you can't just be fit and expect to save someone. you need strategies as well, you need to be able to think and react on the spot.

i guess what i am also trying to say is that this is our 2nd home, we are a team and we should all learn to be in harmony. the occasional sibling squabbles and disputes are all right but at the end of the day we should all come home and give each other a hug and be there for each other. we stay together, we aren't in this alone. lifesaving is not an individual sport but a team sport. you'll see that at the end of the day you'll need to look out for one another. everyone's an equal in the team and there really isn't a thing such as who's better that who.

there'll be many upcoming events that we can all take part together and i do hope that we can all take this chances to bond better :) nationals are coming up to so let's train hard together as well. we'll have plenty of fun along the way no doubt!
