EIGHTERS' YEARBOOK

BEST SPORTSMAN

Representing Hall 8 definitely has its good
and bad times. Bad times come in the form
of a shortage of players, but the good times
outweigh them all.
Coming to Hall 8 has allowed me to try so
many new sports like Volleyball and Squash
as well as work on old ones like Basketball
and Soccer. The players who represent
Hall 8 are all that make the experience
a great one. Our favourite thing to do in
every single match is to lose like winners.
We play our hearts out and cheer till we're
happy. "One Team, One Dream. 一 个 团 队 ,
一 个 梦 想 " is honestly my favourite cheer
of the year. Shouting it at every inning for
our Softball matches and screaming as if we
won finals when we get an out. Our team
spirit never fades even when we are down,
and we fight hard for every match, even if
the odds were stacked against us.
Being a Team Mag has been really fulfilling
too, getting to teach so many new players
how to play Softball has been really fun and
enjoyable! I felt accomplished coaching an
entire team of girls who had close to no
experience in Softball, play against a sports
Hall and putting up a good fight. Although
at times they make you want to pull your
hair (aka QiaoYi when she ran a flyball,
okay kidding), but seeing them so earnestly
learning and working so hard to try and
master the sport has made me feel all sorts
of pride for the team. Glad to say I even got
to give some Year 4s and Year 2s their IHG
debut in Softball.
All in all, the sporting experience in
Hall 8 is really the most accepting and
accomodating you can find, so freshies,
even if you're scared and think you ain't
good enough, don't worry, just come!!
Everyones gotta start somewhere, and
this could be it for you!
