describe an ocassion when u achieved something which you had always found very difficult to do?
during my secondary one life,my coach for my cca,track and field, used to be miss fiona tan.She is very strict about disciplinary but she is very humourous and she was a teacher in dunearn too.people respect her and with her around in track and field,no one would do any thing withour discussing with her. she knows how to coach her althletes well.althought knowing not much about long distance,shot put and long jump.she only knows how to train althletes for short distance.coaching sprinters is at her finger tips.she would train me and my fellow sprinters from 16seconds of running 100m to 14seconds.she would train us untl we achieved the timing for national level.(103)
A year later,she transferred to fairfield methodists school.Wehn i first saw my new coach,mr tan, i was in despair.first impression matters for me.he was not wearing branded clothes,he looked old and he was not fit.i did not respect him much and so is his training.during the 4k run,i would walk when i felt abit of exhaustion.but during miss tan's training,i never did or dare to walk.(80)mr tan was too lenient and he's training was not tough enough.i begin to looked down on him.but everytime after training,there would be a theory session where he will speak out and say things like how you manage your time,how to excel in both sports and studies and there was a time when he said he coach commonwealth secondary school.so i begin to looked upon him.from then no,i went for every single trainings althought i distest running long distance.
our school cross-country was held at macrichite reservoir and the distance is 3.2km.our coach train us and kept doing time trials for us.i was doing 25mins and then 20mins constantly.i did not improve or deprove in my timing.during that day,i was not prepared for my race and had stitches.i did badly and came in 3rd with the timing of 21mins.i was disappointed with myself but i told myself that even though i cannot beat the 1st girl in position,i will beat the girl's timing which is 18mins.(362)
i meant what i said and i train very hard.every training i put in my 100percent of strength to it and even did my own runnings during the weekends.During the inter-school cross country,i was ready and prepared.it was held in turf city and the distance is 3.7km.Althought i did not win the race but i achieved my timing.i did 17mins and it was even better then the gal that came in 1st for our schools cross country. i was very overjoyed,i felt that i was the dark horse.no one would expect that i would do so well.(470)
