Swimmer Joseph Schooling highlighted the need to manage the expectations of athletes who are undergoing NS.HANOI - Swimmer Joseph Schooling on Wednesday called for a "national dialogue" on national service , highlighting the need to manage the expectations of athletes who are undergoing NS.
Responding to The Straits Times' question on how he has been juggling NS and swimming, Schooling said: "As a swimmer, it's pretty challenging to be stuck in the middle of what the nation expects you to be... versus the things that you can commit to in terms of training requirements or the time needed to do the things that you need to do."
Last month, Schooling told The Straits Times that he had "actually retired for a few hours" before the Singapore National Age Group Championships a month earlier, citing "existential circumstances" as the reason. "Hopefully in the next week or two, we'll understand what I can do given the current circumstances versus what's realistic as well."
