Nominations open on Sep 1 and athletes can submit their applications on Singapore Aquatics’ website.<\/p>\n
Once the nominations are in, Singapore Aquatics’ high performance team will prepare an initial shortlist for interviews with the selection committee.<\/p>\n
Shortlisted candidates will meet Schooling as part of the selection process.<\/p>\n
\u201cDesigned to go beyond a conventional interview, these interactions will allow applicants to share their aspirations, learn from Joseph’s experiences, and explore how the values of resilience, discipline, and excellence can shape their own journeys,\u201d said Singapore Aquatics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe award seeks not only to recognise potential, but also to create meaningful connections and mentorship opportunities that support young athletes’ development.\u201d<\/p>\n
A committee comprising two Singapore Aquatics executive committee representatives, as well as Schooling and Teo Zhen Ren \u2013 former national swimmer and World Fencing League CEO \u2013 will then make the final decision.<\/p>\n
Schooling said: “My journey began as a dream and became reality through countless untold stories and moments of joy and heartache, shared not only by me but also by those closest to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“My gold medal was possible because of the unwavering support from my mum and dad.<\/p>\n
“Now, I want to do my part, to recognise and reward those who share that same dream and dare to pursue it beyond imagination.”<\/p>\n
He added that he hoped the award would be a pillar of support for recipients.<\/p>\n
Singapore Aquatics president Kenneth Goh said that the award is distinctive because of its \u201ccombination of meaningful personal engagement and a two-year commitment to supporting athletes’ development\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor recipients, the award provides sustained support over two years as they strive for sporting and personal excellence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope this unique blend of personal interaction and continued support will help inspire the next generation of Singapore aquatic athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
