‘A fresh start’: Singapore Sports School’s Kallang move will boost larger ecosystem, say current and ex-students

While he was a student at the Sports School, original world champion Loh Kean Yew may also travel to and from Kallang and Woodlands.

” I needed to think:’ May I be staying at Woodlands, or if I be staying at Kallang? “,” Loh, who was pursuing a certification that Republic Polytechnic and SSP simultaneously offered, recalled Loh.

In order to save money, he finally occupied a place with his brother in the Geylang region and cycled to teaching.

Liew, the sprinter, said:”( The ride ) takes away a lot of time for athletes to recover and sleep and even do work. “

A more visible location will protect time- and even mean that more students may choose to never board at the school, she added, nothing that it can be” very limiting” spending almost all of one’s time in the same environment.

” You do n’t get as much time with family members; companions from inside,” she explained. I believe I would have been a little happier student-athlete if I had the opportunity to attend Sports School and return home. “

The open-water sprinter added that the school’s location in Kallang could draw in more kids and, possibly, expand the possibilities for partnerships with other educational institutions.

The centralization of the various sports ‘ training facilities at Kallang, according to Mr. Hairul Sahril, whose daughter will join SSP in the following year, will also result in fewer student-athletes having to travel to the individual program record.

AN EXTRA PUSH

The SSP’s transfer to Kallang will likewise give student-athletes the opportunity to learn from Team Singapore players who are also training nearby.

The athlete’s degree will likely increase the more they gather in one place, according to former federal soldier and two-time earth champion Darren Choy.

Amita Berthier, a two-time Gymnast, predicted a perfect environment for SSP kids.

When you are surrounded by people who share your goals or had achieved excellent outcomes. You soon look up to them,” said the fighter.

” That’s just the nature of sports in general. You try to find inspiration. And I believe this will undoubtedly give the kids more encouragement because it can be a little tiresome when you’re in Woodlands in the middle of nothing.

” ( With the move ), it’s like, refreshing… a new start. “
