Start:

She took up shooting in 2012. (ISSF, 12 Dec 2017)

Reason:

She joined the inaugural Learn-To-Shoot [LTS] youth programme set up by the Singapore Sports School [SSP] in 2012. "After enrolling for the LTS, I liked the sport because it is relatively quiet and allows me to internalise my feelings. From there I went on to join the SSP." (straitstimes.com, 29 Apr 2018)

Training:

She trains at Singapore Sports School in Singapore. (channelnewsasia.com, 07 Jun 2021; sportsschool.edu.sg, 21 May 2021)

Hero:

US rifle shooter Matthew Emmons. (The Straits Times YouTube channel, 15 Jul 2021)

Ritual:

"Before every competition, I have to listen to calming music, and I typically don't eat meat on my competition days because it's easier to digest, as I'm in a very stable and still position for a very long time." (Singapore Sports School Facebook page, 15 Jun 2021)

Philosophy:

"I love that my sport is mentally challenging, so even for someone like me who is only 1.5m tall and not the best in running or physical strength, I still can show my mental strength in other areas, like through shooting." (Singapore Sports School Facebook page, 15 Jun 2021)

Award:

In March 2018 she received a Sports Excellence Scholarship at the spexScholarship Awards Presentation Ceremony in Singapore. (Singapore Sports School Facebook page, 20 Mar 2018; sportsschool.edu.sg, 20 Mar 2018)

She received the Singapore Schools Sports Council [SSSC] Best Sports Girl Award in Air Rifle Shooting for 2017. (moe.gov.sg, 2017)

PSYCHOLOGY
She has worked with a psychologist to help her deal with pressure and setbacks. "A low point in my career was probably in 2017 and 2018, where I didn't make three major competitions consecutively, missing out by 0.1 and 0.2 points. So, back then it was quite a big blow but slowly as I mature and grow, and as I seek help from my psychologist, I know how to deal with pressure and I know how to treat myself better."
