Coach Appreciation Month

Every September, the Singapore Coaching community recognises the tireless contributions of coaches. As part of this celebration, Coach SG with Singapore Gymnastics (SG) encouraged the gymnastics community to express appreciation to coaches through testimonials, messages, posts and videos.

Coach Nur Fartini Anuar

After Coach Tini completed her O levels, she wanted to try coaching and was provided with the opportunity to assist in both schools and clubs. Eventually, she decided to pursue the path of becoming a coach and took on a Diploma in Sport and Wellness Management. While pursuing her diploma, a close coach of hers passed away. She was strict yet fun and very motherly. Because of her, Coach Tini was inspired to be a coach and hopes to be just like her. 

Upon completion of her diploma, Coach Tini decided to officially begin her coaching journey with DGA and met many great gymnasts. Although there have been many ups and downs, it has been a great learning experience to improve and become a better coach. Coach Tini always reminds her students that they should not say "I cannot do it". Rather, they should encourage themself by always saying "I can do it and I will try my best"! Coach Tini strongly believes that with lots of practice, determination and perseverance, you can always achieve what you want in gymnastics and in life.
