My parents have tried me on a number of sports, e.g. badminton, soccer and swimming when i was in primary school. It was until Primary 5 when my parents introduced me to squash, unlike other sports; I grew to like squash as I can either stroke in the court alone or with other companions and the game is fun and I particularly found it to be a good form of exercise for me.

When I first started playing squash in late Primary School as a Pinnacle Academy kid, I found a new passion to look forward to every week. My passion for squash grew even further when I started watching professional squash matches online, which inspired me to take up private lessons with Coach Victor. Watching Coach Victor compete also motivated me to deepen my knowledge of squash and pursue self-improvement in the sport. Eventually, I went on to become a Singapore National-Level Referee and a WSC Level 1 Squash Coach myself! I hope to inspire and share my knowledge with the next generation, just like how Victor inspired me.

My parents have tried me on a number of sports when I was in primary school. It was until Primary 5 when my parents introduced me to squash. Initially, I was enrolled in an academy’s group lessons and I participated in my first local competition organized by Singapore Squash Rackets Association (SSRA) under the Primary 5 category. I performed badly as there were many good players in my age group. I was disappointed with my performance but my parents encouraged me to stay on with the game and with a family friend’s recommendation, they helped to engage a personal trainer – Mr. Victor Koh to coach me on court play, strokes and techniques; standing postions, court rules and so forth. I must admit that the training was tough under Coach Victor but he made it fun along the way, my passion for squash grew even further and I look forward to every training session with him. Apart from squash techinques, Coach Victor also constantly highlighted to me on good sportsmanship both inside and outside of court. A year later when I was in Primary 6, I again participated in the SSRA Primary School tournament and I unexpectedly came in champion in my age group category. Many people were surprised as no one expected me to win. I was very happy and I knew that the achievement would not have happened without all the perseverance and Coach Victor’s training.
