Both of
them truly deserve to be the recipient of the Best Girls Performer and Best Boys
Performer Awards. Martina created history in Singapore by shooting a perfect
score and then she followed up with a bronze medal at the AYG. Yong Qing won
several individual and team titles including the School Nationals title. Congrats
Guys.
I have a troop of monkeys (coaches included) to nanny and these are their stories.

Back To School
It’s a brand new year and there are 11 new
monkeys to manage. There are now a total of 41 shooters in the academy and it
is not even full strength yet. I can sense more hair turning white.
Happy New Year to all.
Happy New Year to all.

SEASA Championship 2013
We just came back from a week long competition in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia . Half of the Shooting Academy was there to participate in the
South East Asia Shooting Championship. The competitors in the 10m air weapon junior
events were from Malaysia , Vietnam , Chinese Taipei and Singapore .
Our rifle boys and girls teams rose to the occasion to finish the year strongly. The rifle boys team of Yong Qing, Irwan and Ting Wei shot their way to the team title. Yong Qing also won himself an individual silver.
In the rifle girls event, Martina won the individual gold and in the process set a new championship record with a score of 397. Shuet Hwei shot her personal best of 395 to win the silver. Together with Adele, the girls clinched the Women Junior Team title.
Over in the pistol event, Fion’s score of 359, contributed to the Air Pistol Women Junior Team's silver medal.

2 Time Olympic Champion
The academy had the
good fortune of meeting the 2 time Olympic shotgun gold medalist, Michael
Diamond. This humble Australian sportsman also won several world championships titles.
This afternoon, he
shared his shooting experiences and also what it takes to be a champion –
discipline, hard work and patience.
At the end of the
session, the shooters were rushing to take photos with him and his Olympics
gold medals. He also patiently autographed their t-shirts, journals and target
cards.
Once again, a very big
thank you to this wonderful and inspiring champion! The academy would certainly
root for him in his quest to do it all over again.

Freshmen Camp
It was 4 long days of
sun, sea, dance and fun. I am sure the P6 shooters enjoyed themselves immensely.
We look forward to welcome them into the Shooting Academy
in Janauary.
