Teo Ser Luck asks why NSAs can’t be more transparent about YOG athlete selections
“We are meeting unexpected resistance from some NSAs when we ask that the trials be transparent, fair and open,” says Teo Ser Luck.
Teo Ser Luck: “If children are talented in sports, do they know where to go?”
If children are talented in sports, do they know where to go? Do they know their pathway to success in their chosen sports?
Teo Ser Luck: “Are youth specialising in sports too early?”
I often wonder if a child should specialise in sports early. I am beginning to see more and more of such cases. Well, I could understand if it is a sport like gymnastics but I am beginning to see it in other disciplines too.
Ser Luck: What role should media play in local sports?
When I was in primary school, I read the newspapers every day without fail. Before you think I had a keen interest in world and social issues at such a young age, it was only the sports pages that I read. Then, we had great coverage on local soccer as we were in the Malaysia Cup. I could name every one of the 18 players, regulars and reserves.
Ser Luck: “Do we have Singaporeans willing to compete in the Youth Olympics?”
As host for the Youth Olympic Games in 2010, it comes with some expectation to field a team of athletes for all 26 sports. Do you think we can do it? I know for sure that some people have never heard of the Pentathlon but it is one of the oldest sports in the Olympic progamme. What about Handball? And where can I find weightlifters?
Ser Luck: Will foreign talents make or break Singapore sports?
Recently at a dialogue, a student commented that schools were importing sports talent as well. Foreign talent is an issue Teo Ser Luck confronts time and again. Find out his views on the topic, and have your say.
Ser Luck: Should we do away with sports competitions in schools?
It is the practice in some parts of Europe for sports competition to begin only at 15. Do you think this can be applied in Singapore where ranking and competition seem to be part of everything we do? Would it help in promoting sports?
Ser Luck: “Does Singapore have a sports culture?”
We built the National Stadium and it was completed in 1973. Subsequently, more stadiums, sports complexes and swimming pools in the heartlands were built. We have the hardware but do we have the software, the culture? Do our youth embrace a sports lifestyle as the vision laid out by our first generation leaders? Does Singapore have a sports culture at all?
