Nicky, 谢谢你这13年的信任 💯

你用伤痛、误解和压力，换来了一个又一个的胜利。你不只是为自己打球，你为下一代树立了榜样。

这是我作为你教练最骄傲的事。

好好休息。你值得。

Can Do la ~! 👊🏻

13 years.

I’ve watched her play through pain. Train through rumors. Show up when most people would have walked away.

She was stubborn — sometimes too stubborn to do what her body needed. But that same stubbornness is what made her a champion. She carried the tradition of Malaysian women’s basketball on her back. The grit. The never-give-up. The right attitude. That’s why she won medals for this country.

When people misunderstood her. When rumors spread. When circumstances tried to break her — she didn’t fight back with words. She showed up. To train. To compete. To help the younger ones learn, even when she was carrying her own pain.

That’s what I’m most proud of.

Not the medals. Not the points. The fact that injured, misunderstood, and exhausted — she still made time for the next generation.

Nicky Saw — thank you for trusting me with your journey. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my coaching career.

Rest now. You’ve earned it.

I share my journey representing Malaysia in international games, where I struggled with self-doubt and fear of letting others down. I talk about how I tried to fix everything alone, never asking for help because the culture taught me to just show up and perform. I explain how this isolation cost me my career and why I built SFL—a place designed to support athletes like I needed back then. I encourage you to talk to your coach, talk to your teammates, and ask for help, because that’s not weakness—it’s the smartest thing you can do.

I share a transformative moment from 10 years ago when I had coffee with a young national point guard who felt overlooked and frustrated. I asked him one simple question: If the coach gave you the starting position right now, are you confident enough to deliver? His silence was telling. That conversation became the turning point that shifted his entire mindset. Instead of blaming his environment, he started working on his craft. We talk about how Joe Kok How went on to play 20-plus minutes a game for KL Dragons, won championships, earned 2017 final MVP, and is now a national youth assistant coach. One question, one real conversation—that’s what sport for living is all about.

Great energy, strong chemistry, and a team that always pushes each other to be better. 🔥🏀

A great pre-game warm-up isn’t just about exercises or equipment. It’s about the attitude, energy, and chemistry that every player brings.

From tennis ball reaction drills to jump tests, players constantly challenge themselves while cheering each other on. Even when warming up individually, everyone knows their role and how to bring out the best in one another.

That’s what makes this team special. Different routines, but one team with one goal.

A special thank you to Malaysia’s Best Sports Commentator Mr Berni, for the shout-out and support.

And congratulations to NS Matrix on winning back-to-back championships! 🏆🏆

Great teams don’t just play together. They grow together.

好的热身，不只是训练动作和器材，更重要的是球员的态度与团队氛围。🔥🏀

从反应训练到弹跳测试，球员们不断挑战自己，也不忘为队友加油打气。

即使各自进行热身，多年培养的默契，让每个人都知道自己该做什么，也懂得如何激发彼此最好的表现。

真正强大的团队，不只是一起比赛，而是一起进步。

特别感谢马来西亚资深篮球评论员 Mr. Berni 的支持与鼓励！

也恭喜 NS Matrix 再次成功卫冕！🏆🏆 by @zai.keen

11 years of experience doesn’t mean repeating the same routine from 10 years ago.

Even with 7 championships under their belt, SFL continues to evolve, year after year.

From smarter activation to better performance testing, every detail has a purpose.

It’s never just about bringing more equipment. It’s about getting more out of every Pre-Game workout.

Winning is an achievement.
Constant improvement is the standard. 🏀

11年了，不代表今天还在重复10年前的训练方式。

即使已经拿下7届冠军，SFL依然坚持每一年都要比上一年做得更好。

从更有效率的肌肉激活，到更科学化的运动表现测试，每一个细节都有它存在的意义。

带来更多器材，从来不是为了让热身看起来更专业，
而是为了让每一次热身都更有效率、更有价值。

冠军是一种成就，持续进步才是我们的标准。 🏀 by @zai.keen

Bintulu, 2016. That’s where this started.
Eleven years later — including two we lost entirely to COVID — we’re chasing our 9th AgongCup title.
Every tournament starts before the first PGWO.
Still chasing it. Still here. 🏀

September had more in it than made it to the feed.
A royal invitation to the Royal Pahang Polo Centenary — and the trust it takes to get asked in the first place.
YL spent a month in Pekan leading prep for a polo team, because showing up for someone else’s sport matters as much as our own.
Steven Green’s off-season block kicked off, eyes already on November.
Our coaches sat down together to sharpen how we think about nutrition — the standard inside the team is the standard we hold outside it.
Two of our longest-standing clients, Kalai and Thipa — 14 and 12 years with SFL — came in to give the whole team a talk on leadership. That kind of relationship doesn’t happen by accident.
We stepped into a sport that’s never had a strength & conditioning program before, alongside Khuan Loke’s Lion Dance team. The scoreboard didn’t go our way, but the door opened.
And we said goodbye to John Murray for now, as he starts a new chapter elsewhere. Our longest, most consistent training relationship to date.
A lot happened. Here’s the month, in one post. 🦁 taken in SFL Performance Center by @zai.keen

This season, Khuan Loke did something their sport hasn’t seen before — they let a strength & conditioning team into their training, their preparation, their recovery.
Saturday’s result didn’t go the way anyone wanted. But winning and losing were never fully in your hands — too many factors on competition day that no amount of preparation alone controls.
What is in our hands is everything around it — how a team trains, prepares, and recovers between routines. That’s where we believe the real gains still are, and it’s a big part of what this partnership hasn’t even gotten to yet.
Grateful for the trust this season. Looking forward to building further, together. 🦁
———
这个赛季，群樂做了一件这项运动从未有过的尝试——让体能训练团队走进了他们的训练、备赛与恢复。
星期六的结果不如大家所愿，但输赢从来不是完全能够掌控的——比赛当天有太多变数，不是光靠准备就能左右的。
我们能掌控的，是训练、准备与恢复之间的每一环节。我们相信，真正的进步空间正在这里，而这也是这次合作还没完全触碰到的部分。
感谢这个赛季彼此的信任，期待未来继续携手前进。🦁

An Evening of Legacy & Tradition.

SFL Performance Center was honoured to be invited to witness the Centenary Gala of The Royal Pahang Polo Club, celebrating 100 years of polo in Pahang.

An intimate evening of tradition, heritage and fellowship, held in the presence of Tengku Muhammad, marking a remarkable milestone for one of Pahang’s most distinguished sporting institutions.

We are grateful to be part of an evening that celebrates not only a century of polo, but the enduring spirit of sport, community and tradition.

100 years of polo in Pahang.
