Am I the Next One

Am I The Next One Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys invited from selected primary schools… The State Squash Association warmly welcomes each one of you into its fold… It is more than likely all you parents here today would really like to know… Does your much loved son or daughter here today has the potential for squash golds… Ladies and gentlemen, sad to say, I can’t rightly tell for I really don’t know.. Boys and girls, this I know- you yourselves must step forward if you want to show… Truth is, ladies and gentlemen, true squash champions come along only once in a while… It is not everyday our association can discover them as easily as flowers in the wild… Boys and girls, join in our squash training program and be inducted as a Rising Star… As you train and grow in years, there is much you can learn while reaching for your stars… All kids, as young as 6 plus, please join in as juniors in this program, you’re big enough… Dear parents, you may not think so, but your beloved kids, they are strong and tough.. Our squash training program, it is daily run by coaches who are professionals… Dear parents, watch your juniors blossom into competitive players up to the nationals… As squash players, they get to make new friends here in this state and there in West Malaysia.. All those who excel in this game, they get the chance to go beyond Malaysia, even Asia.. I am positive everyone here has heard of Datuk Nicol David, a champion second to none.. Yes, you got that right! She is the woman squash champion of the world, 9 times done… Sad to say, our beloved squash queen Datuk Nicol was discovered some 25 years gone… As a nation, we are still looking for squash champions good enough to be the next one… All the young ones here today, I challenge you to ask, “Am I The Next One?” Young squash players and champions for tomorrow, will you be the next one?
