I just wanted to express how incredibly grateful we are for the amazing coaching Chelsea received from Coach Tan in track and field. Coach Tan’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering support have made a world of difference in Chelsea’s journey as an athlete.

Thanks to Coach Tan’s patient and encouraging coaching style, Chelsea was able to believe in herself and her abilities when she first started in the sport. Under his guidance, she has achieved personal records and reached significant milestones that she never thought possible.

We can’t thank Coach Tan enough for his unwavering support, guidance, and dedication. We are truly grateful for everything he has done to help Chelsea become the athlete she is today.

With the utmost gratitude and respect,

Chelsea Lua & Family

Dear Coach Tan,

We are pleased to inform you that Hagen has received a Confirmed Offer from Raffles Institution and a Wait List from HCI.

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to you and Club Zoom for all the coaching and guidance given to Hagen during his short stint in Club Zoom just a few months before his NSG.

Hagen joined Club Zoom only in end Feb 2023 and without much training, he went on his first overseas trip with Club Zoom to KL in end Feb 2023. That was a great eye-opener for him. He was a tad disappointed that he didn’t win any medals then but it did spur him to train hard and he tasted his first success in the SA-SSSP T&F Meet where he emerged 3rd overall and subsequently led him to clinch 1st in his NSG event.

Your team of professional, dedicated and friendly coaches has allowed Hagen to thoroughly enjoy the Club Zoom training sessions. Not only had he enhanced his running techniques, the training sessions had also instilled discipline in him, built his perseverance and stretched his endurance. He also enjoyed the camaraderie of all his teammates in Club Zoom and always look forward to joining them in trainings.

Hagen’s achievements say much about Club Zoom’s success of its Gryphon League. The positive influence that it has in nurturing its athletes is undeniable. Without all of you, Hagen would not have come so far. Thank you!

Spent a lovely Saturday evening with our young and athletic runners at Yishun Stadium! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏾‍♀️

Despite the heavy downpour, it failed to dampen their enthusiasm and they continued to practice their running drills under the shelter. Many of them shared their aspirations with me, such as becoming a cross country runner or a national sprinter.

It was inspiring to know that Thevandra, one of the young participants, had been putting in hard work and effort in athletics for the past 3 years, which allowed him to get into his secondary school of choice through the DSA scheme. This is the kind of commitment that we witness in all our national athletes, putting in their best, no matter how tough the circumstances are.

A big thank you to Coach Tan Wei Leong, Club ZOOM SG and the coaches for organising these series of Kids Athletics sessions. Other than learning about the running fundamentals, I’m heartened to know that the coaches place a very strong emphasis on instilling values into the children, which is crucial during their current stage of growth.

To our youths out there, sports is not about becoming the champion, but more importantly, doing things you like and enjoying the journey. Run towards your goal and chase your dreams!
