Just some updates on what has happened recently in the Malaysian squash. The 3rd leg of the Sportexcel was held from the 5th-7th of May. It was ok except for a few hiccups here and there. We had about 20 player who took part in it. How did we do? Result wise, ok but not so in performance. I was very disappointed with the way most of the senior players and the way they took their matches. They just don't have the habits of a winner or try to be one. No pre-match preparation whatsoever, just play and expect to win. And these are 16-17 year olds! Worse still, they influence the younger players, because monkey see, monkey do. This is one headache that need to be addressed immediately by my coaches and me as well. Generally, it is a problem in Malaysia, but I am pretty pissed with my players for having this problem as well.

The annual SRAP league has started last week. SAP put up 2 teams, the SUKMA boys team and the SAP team which consists mostly of the girls in the academy. The girls won their match with Sri York and suprisingly the boys lost to Penang Sports Club who has 2 of my coaches on their team. Full result will be at the bottom.

This week is the start of the hectic month for me. It starts with the SUKMA camp tomorrow and we leave for Alor Setar on Sunday. In between that, I have to do all the preparation for the Penang Junior Open. Then the Milo All Star is next and finally MSSM. So there may not be any time for me to update the blog. Till next time, cheers.
