Athlete's Grit: From Sports to Life
Podcast von Alex Loh
This is a podcast interview series where I speak to current and ex high performance athletes in Singapore on their sport, and how the skills learnt, acquired and trained in competitive sport, have translated into their professional and personal life. I hope that their true stories of grit in overcoming adversity, will inspire and motivate others. Hearing stories of local athletes' journeys closer to home, helps us relate better, and makes each story even more meaningful. More about Alex Loh --> https://linktr.ee/alexlohsengyue

My guest today is Yip Ren Kai, ex-National Water Polo Vice-Captain and multiple SEA Games Gold Medalist, Entrepreneur, and Grassroots Contributor. One of the best centreback specialist and all-rounded player I have ever known. I knew Ren Kai since he was a young player and he donned National Colours only after I retired from the sport. But very privileged to have played with him in many other competitions as a teammate and also against him as a competitor. A great leader and highly respected, in and outside of the pool. I hope you enjoy the session as much as I did.
