Lim Yee Chern, Clara

I joined FWCC in late 2018 when I decided to start pursuing Track and Field competitively. Growing up with FWCC has led the environment and people here to shape me into who I am today.

Being under Coach Fabian for the past four and a half years has helped me grow both as a person and an athlete, making me stronger not only physically but also mentally. I started with Coach as a not-so-small, 11-year-old, training with a team made up of, mainly, secondary school athletes.

His sessions have always been challenging but they always push me to do better and more importantly to become more confident in my ability as a sprinter. Coach never fails to find all ways and means to push me out of my comfort zone and make the most impossible workouts seem possible (somehow finding fun in them as well...).

Coach is always confident in my ability to do better and strive for bigger goals. He always emphasises the importance of making mistakes and learning from them, letting me make my own decisions, making me, overall, a stronger person. For example, he lets me choose my events for small competitions, letting me explore the different events Track and Field has to offer. Coach will always sit down with me after each race to find the smallest things we can work on that will help me improve even if that also means constantly giving hour-long pep talks to motivate me to do better.

Coach never fails to fully support me in whatever I do, related to Track or not, always putting my best interests at heart and ensuring that my well-being comes first. He has helped me strengthen my passion for this sport, especially with a community like FWCC that will support you during your highest ups and lowest lows.
