This book aims to share best practices with physical educators, specialist, coaches and players. It also emplifies how teachers can contribute to ongoing research in sports and other fields.
This book is also written to increase the awareness of Ultimate Frisbee in Singapore.

Thanks for reading my blog folks! Some clarification... :)

Thank you for reading my blog. I understand that some of the comments that I have made had cause fury and some even described as venomous. I totally agree with the comments and I took full responsibility for the words that I had said.

I must also clarify that these comments were made as a member of UPA(S), not as a Ex-com member (Director of Training & Education) or Shiok Player. I think one must be a clear who I am representing. I have to wear many hats at the same time and I must admit that certain decisions which I have made or proposed seemed like I am representing my club. I am not looking for a scapegoat as I have always been one myself. If I need to be the scapegoat to unite all the UPA(S) members, I will. I will do my best to unite all UPA members. I am not trying to complain or vent my fustrations as mentioned by people, but I am trying to get my feelings across.

Maybe it was done in a 'barbarian' way, if you say it, and I totally agree with all of you. You can vote me out of the ex-com, scold me through my blog, send me spams or threats. At the end of the day, we are working towards a common goal. For the glory of UPA(S), not just our club. Agree?

I have since removed the post, in case I upset more people. Once again, sorry for the inconvience cause and thank you for reading my blog.
