I wanted to blog about how today has been a day that I am especially (even more than usual) thankful for.

Two cool things happened.

Firstly, my request for leave was approved by my Commanding Officer in my Army Reservist Unit. This means I can go for the level 4 PICP Coaching course held in Rhode Island in November this year. I am allowed to arrive a few days late for my annual reservist training. Great!

Secondly, I got a nice compliment from Coach Charles Poliquin on his blog about doing a good job as a gym owner/personal trainer. It’s kind of like a pianist hearing that Mozart thinks hes done a good job.

As an area for improvement, I was told that I am short of experience with really world class athletes (an accurate assessment!). They are, unfortunately in short supply in Singapore! But I will probably schedule some internships with some Olympic training centers somewhere to make up this lack of experience!

There is ALWAYS room for improvement.
