Hi all,

The nationals ended with a pretty mixed note, which is pretty much the same as all major competitions. Some of you didn't do well, others shot beyond expectations. Its up to the low ones to pick up while you still can while the well-off ones make use of this chance to further improve or stabilize your techniques.

Low.
Those who didn't do well, or even those who felt bad for dragging the team down, pick up. Fast. The best would be just to keep the lessons and throw away the pain. If you fall, stand back up or stay down. When you are able to stand up on your own and make these defeats seem minor obstacles you'll learn stuff you never expected along the way, and gain the respect of everyone around you.

High.
Some of you did spectacularly, and I applaud for that yea? Reflects your seriousness to training, focus in shooting, and maybe even bravery in trying out totally radical techniques just before competition dates. All of which I pretty much lack. But after this performance its time to go back to the focus and rigors of mad 5 day training regimes. (So in other words make your victory worth the months of silent mugger-like training sessions.)

Feeling.
I won't tell you how to feel about the nationals, your emotions belong to you and you pretty much decide what you want to feel, and what you want to do. Feel sad or happy. Feel free to chose. Just know what you need to do and be brave enough to do it.

Message to Sec 1s
Nationals should be a great experience for you guys, no matter if you went to compete or not. But now its time for you guys to focus hard on the finer details in every single training session. Its no longer just fun with guns. Its even no longer getting shots and staring at a card for 2hrs just because the 'man' told you so. You guys saw the Hwachong flag in Safra, and next year you guys are not gonna be simply teammates to the Sec 2s, you guys are gonna be the Sec 2s, being the ones who actually get your team the point advantage above the others. Its gonna be harder as it goes, but the prize at the end gets bigger for every step you walk towards it.

See ya,
Chuaxy

Fall and pick up, don't stay down, its gonna get harder to get back up again.

Hi all,

Nationals has started and as you all know, B div had fun with it already, so if you guys still wanna take this competition as one that didn't remind you of the first time you went through rejection, then I really hope you all will go there and enjoy yourselves to the fullest. Medals and trophies no doubt can be exchange coupons for joy in any competition, but you want to know that even if you lost, you would lose smiling and not be saying damned curses at all the things you've wasted trying to get that gold. Its pretty much like slapping the guy at MacDonald when he tells you that your 2-for-1 coupon expired. Always settle for that one meal if you can't get the deal. It beats getting thrown outta the diners any day...
Anyway, if you're afraid that the coach is gonna screw you up good for losing medals, well he probably will, but you shouldn't help him on your way down. Wait for the lessons to come, don't throw yourself down before you even learn anything. Like some Judo idiot who throws himself on the ground just because his afraid of his opponent.

Hmm, so after you're done reading, go think about what you're gonna do for the competition, and if you ever start laughing somewhere during your last shot and you hit the wall, don't come after me yea? I'm as innocent as it is now... (But you have the consolation that you'd be continuing the possibly new HCISC tradition of shooting blanks.)

See ya,
Chuaxy

PS Don't help your opponents on your way down.
