Personal Statement

My decision to follow this path started the moment I stepped foot into this military lifestyle. It was a new environment, one where I was surrounded by people from different backgrounds and cultures. As a recruit, I was trained to be disciplined and professional at all times while making sure that I was meeting my own personal targets. Back in school, I was heavily focused in my academics and had zero time to train so I used the opportunities given in my boot camp to train harder and smarter than everybody else. Accomplishing those targets, and feeling my body getting progressively stronger helped to improve my self-confidence. Others in my platoon were motivated by my work-ethic and through this I realised that coaching others would be a career path that could bring me both the enjoyment of doing something I love and allow me to help others fulfil their potential and develop as athletes and individuals.

As part of the job-scope, I was posted to 9th Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment where I was deployed to protect and ensure the security of all the military camps and civilian installations across the country. In doing so, I made sure to perform my duties at the highest standard and through this I upheld a high level of discipline. I was also an outspoken individual that would proactively participate in discussions with my peers. With my flair in establishing rapport with my peers and superiors, I built excellent working relationships and gained the trust of my superiors, earning myself a promotion to Corporal First Class.

24 months later, I can really and truly say that serving the military has taught me to become a very focused person that puts his all into everything. I've had to do certain tasks that were beyond my comfort zone. All the countless outfield and various battle inoculation courses have helped me find a purpose in life and has helped set up ways in which I will go about achieving the goals and targets I set myself.

I am someone who aspires to pursue a career in the fitness industry and from a young age I've always had my mind set on to become a professional athlete. However, growing up I was shown that there are many other things that the fitness industry can offer. With the knowledge and skills that I have gained from serving the military, I believe that I am well suited to take up any given task.
