2010 was a great year for us at GSN. It was our first full year as a network and with the many people we've come into contact with through sports. 2011 will definitely be more exciting! As we hit the first quarter of the year, we want to share some of the things we are focussing on this year and hopefully, this would get you excited too!

Last year, GSN focussed very much on building foundational blocks of network through initiating events and putting in place key leaders. This year, we want to pick it up from there. Hence, this year it's about initiating intentional growth.

One of the key things we really want to grow this year is this whole area of networking and partnering with different sports people, leaders and organization not just to learn from them but hopefully, as small as we are, to build them up as well. As such, we've managed to partner up with one of the best female floorball players in Asia (or rather, the best player) Miss Jill Quek of 13 Shining Stars to conduct a floorball programme from the 14th-15th March 2011 in Penang, Malaysia. We treasure and hope to grow with such people. Networking is something that we definitely want to develop.

In relation to networking, this year we want to begin to be involved in the community around us. Last year, we took our first small step by raising funds for the Penan tribe, a minority in Sarawak. This year, we want to take another step to use sports to impact the community around us. As much as we are passionate about sports, we are also passionate about growing people and commun

Another area we really want to grow in as well is leadership. We want to start igniting a keen sense of leadership among players and youth who are under GSN. GSN is in the business of building champions, as such this year we want to challenge people to not just have a passion for sports but also to have a passion for positive leadership. Spearhead Floorball Club, a floorball club under GSN has come up with Spear 1.6 - a leadership forum/training for young potential leaders in the club with the intention of sharpening them to be a positive weapon in the area of leadership.

Materials, equipments, development, etc. - all these are key resources that we need which we really want to grow. Partnering and networking would be a key medium in order for us to achieve this. We will be stepping out to look for partners in effort of raising funds and sponsorship for GSN. We want people to catch hold of our vision for sports and people and through that, be part of us.

It's going to be an exciting year for sure! We hope that you will continue to run alongside us as we continue to make an impact in the sports arena and the people we encounter. Should you want to know more about GSN or perhaps even partner with us, do drop us a line.

2011, a year of intentional growth.
