The price of a poor performance

---

Morning training started as per usual with the morning run, sprinting exercises and stepping exercises.

The session then came to an abrupt halt, and the foreigners (South African Team, John and myself) were asked to leave.

I was later informed that due to the poor performance that the kids were being punished.

Punishment here invovles a table leg, and hitting on the leg....and I mean not a little tap, but a big hit.

The history behind the stick is that is has been hear as long as the school has (since 1967).

I was later shown the results of the hits that the kids recieved for not bringing enough medals home...

The kids in Australia have it so easy.
