Team: No Drugs
School: Jurong Pioneer Junior College
A promising basketball star at a junior college found his future in the National School Games at risk of cutting short when he suffered a serious injury during a crucial season. Desperate to recover quickly and return to peak performance, he felt immense pressure to prove himself not only to his teammates but also to bring the school pride, he made the decision to turn to performance-enhancing drugs in hopes of speeding up his recovery and boosting his abilities on the court. At first, the drugs seemed to work, and his performance improved, but the physical and emotional toll that followed began to weigh heavily on him. During the break of a match, the coach found him and confronted him about the drug use in the toilet, leading to a painful but necessary conversation. Faced with the harsh reality of his actions and its consequences, including suspension, getting removed from the school team, and the disgrace brought to himself, the player could only reflect deeply on his choices. The confrontation shows how drastic drugs can affect an athlete desperate for victory while getting influenced by his closest friends.
