“There is no evidence that people involved in sport get any worse GCSE results.
"But they are happier, psychologically healthier, less anxious and more resilient and robust. Taking part in sport on a regular basis is not doing them any harm and it is doing them good.”
Prof Clough’s study found that there is a significant relationship between involvement in sport and mental toughness, as well as a positive association between sport and mental wellbeing.”

***Best Malaysian in Men’s 10KM in SCKLM***
Managed to defend my title again today, came back second place Overall with the time of 33:38 minutes (3:22 min/km). Better my timing for more than 2 minutes compare to last year, 35:43 minutes.
Happy to be back and defend my title again for two years in a row! 33:38 minutes is my Season Best this year also my Best 10K timing in Malaysia. I did 33:26 minutes last year during the Sundown Taipei 2017. 12 seconds of my Personal Record and excited to race hard today and make an attempt to chase the Kenyan in front of me.
Still couldn’t believe I did 5,000M on two days ago and 10,000M yesterday at 3pm in UNIMAP and thankfully I managed to came back on time this morning to race SCKLM 10KM.
I missed my train last night as I saw the wrong timing, and I took the bus at 7.30pm. Arrived at KL Sentral this morning at 3.45pm, took the LRT and back to Kelana Jaya. Thanks to She Yong for fetching me back and went out again to take the LRT and went to the race site.
Both legs left only 50% after the 10,000M yesterday at 3pm, running at 35 Degree Celsius. Today’s performance was all about mental toughness. Kept thinking I am the Best Malaysian last year and the reason I came here today is to defend my title. Focus on my target, charge down the street, pay attention on my running technique, the metronome beating at 185 spm was set it on my Garmin Fenix 5X before the flag off, kept the rhythm going, tap tap tap, arm swing to quicken my stride to match the metronome.
Starting off running side by side with Siva, follow closely behind the Kenyan. Both of us work together, exchange the lead after the first 3km, my turn to lead. Doing our best to take him down. After 6km, I was on my own. Dig deep and trying hard to reduce the gap as the distance widen up after that.
Kept looking at his back all the way until the last km. Closing down the gap with the last surge, but the distance is too far away between both of us.
It was really a good course today, I felt strong even though with the 15km from the past two days. Mentally boost myself up, kept thinking of “To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you are not, pretend you are.” - Muhammad Ali. One of the factor that boost my performance today is the Awards I won yesterday being the Best Male Athlete in Track&Field with Double Gold I won from 5,000M and 10,000M.
Thank you so much for the recognition and everyone for the continuous support, cheers on me while running this morning! Thank you to all my sponsors as well especially Beet It Sport, Actigin, Garmin Malaysia, Lifeline ID, Life Engineering, LILA Exogen, and also to my parents who came and support this morning.

My fat to fit transformation wasn't a result of anything unhappy or insecure, I did it because I love the sport. If I could change anything about myself, I wouldn't. I love my body and all the flaws that comes with it. Many people feel that a better physique will bring you happiness, but I was honestly a happier person in my previous fat life; less critical, less tired and more comfy in my own skin. It's difficult to stay confident when the all the sport does is critiquing what physically isn't good enough. Having said that, nothing has taught me mental toughness & discipline like Bodybuilding. Fall in Love with the pain, the exhaustion and the preparation. Don't just love a ripped physique because the development of the mind and soul will always outweighed the physical improvements.
