She was named Coach of the Year at the Singapore Sports Awards 2020 — the first woman to clinch the award. We hear about her feelings on being the first woman to clinch the coach of the year awards, her experiences being a former national head coach, and what she’s learnt from the role. What is it like coaching the women’s team to victory, her philosophy on coaching, and how she encourages her team members to excel. We ask her about her journey through sport and what are some of the sacrifices and challenges she’s met along the way. We ask her to share her advice for someone who is looking at transitioning to a coaching career and what it takes to do that., id=2941199236, title=Game Changers - Women in Sport}, {video_thumbnail=https://6212555.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6212555/Circle%20Watch/Series/DCG/Game%20Changers%20Women%20in%20Sport/GameChangers-%20Sophie%20Soon-04.jpg, path=game-changers-episode-2-sophie-soon-paralympian-swimmer, vidyard_id=, episode_number=2, other_video_link=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yo-EnIs1i5U?list=PLacjonquV87-TY-igUetNtlhHuD5JkIpw, episode_title=Ep 2 - Sophie Soon - Paralympian Swimmer, description=Sophie was diagnosed with cone rod dystrophy at the age of five, when her parents realised she was always holding objects close to her eyes. The condition leads to the loss of cone cells in the retina responsible for central and colour vision. She relies increasingly on memory and imagination to colour a rapidly fading world, but the bubbly teenager's optimism shines through - because in Sophie's world, there is no room for self-pity. Sophie will have so much to share on being a paralympian and her experiences in life and in the pool. We speak to her about her journey as a woman and a para athlete, and what challenges she’s had to overcome. Her narrative is particularly significant for young girls and boys with disabilities who are looking at how sport can be a significant source of strength for them. We want her to share her advice to any young person who might be afraid to pursue a sport because of their disability., id=2941199239, title=Game Changers - Women in Sport}, {video_thumbnail=https://6212555.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6212555/Circle%20Watch/Series/DCG/Game%20Changers%20Women%20in%20Sport/GameChangers%20-%20Dr%20Teoh-04.jpg, path=game-changers-episode-3-dr-teoh-chin-sim-sports-medicine-specialist, vidyard_id=, episode_number=3, other_video_link=https://www.youtube.com/embed/6rzraRxLi8Q?list=PLacjonquV87-TY-igUetNtlhHuD5JkIpw, episode_title=Ep 3 - Dr Teoh Chin Sim - Sports Medicine Specialist, description=Dr Teoh is a senior consultant and director of sports medicine at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, and Team Singapore's chief medical officer (CMO) for the SEA Games. Dr Teoh’s story provides an interesting insight to behind the scenes of an athlete’s journey, and providing medical care for an athlete. She also speaks about her vision for the newly formed women in sport committee, what she envisions for women in sport in our island nation, and what is needed for Sporean women athletes to continue making their mark in the international arena., id=2941199242, title=Game Changers - Women in Sport}, {video_thumbnail=https://6212555.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6212555/Circle%20Watch/Series/DCG/Game%20Changers%20Women%20in%20Sport/GameChangers-%20Wang%20Shao-Ing-04.jpg, path=game-changers-episode-4-wang-shao-ing-womens-rugby-head-coach-rugby-official, vidyard_id=, episode_number=4, other_video_link=https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZlSCyjiC8Pk?list=PLacjonquV87-TY-igUetNtlhHuD5JkIpw, episode_title=Ep 4 - Wang Shao-Ing - Women’s Rugby Head Coach, Rugby Official, description=Wang is a former Singapore national rugby player, current women's 7s coach, and was a judicial chair for Rugby World Cup 2019. She played a bit of table tennis and spent afternoons catching tadpoles and butterflies in school, but otherwise had very unathletic pursuits in her youth. While studying at King’s College in London, she thought she would pick up an English game. Wang Shao Ing has a very significant place on the world rugby stage and in a sport that is perceived to be more male dominated and male centric. We get her perspective on what stereotypes and stigma she has had to overcome and pushed past in her sport, and how her experiences in rugby has made her the person she is today. We want to understand what the sport has taught her and how it changed her as a person. What’s interesting also are the roles she pursued besides being a professional rugby player and the significance of that. Around the world, male rugby is still watched by spectators much more than women's rugby, even though women rugby teams around the world are making their mark. How does she feel this will change, and what are her hopes for women rugby in Singapore? What advice does she have for young women who want to play the sport but are afraid of the stereotypes involved for women in the sport?, id=2941199201, title=Game Changers - Women in Sport}, {video_thumbnail=https://6212555.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6212555/Circle%20Watch/Series/DCG/Game%20Changers%20Women%20in%20Sport/GameChangers-%20Syahidah-04.jpg, path=game-changers-episode-5-nur-syahidah-alim-world-no-1-para-archer, vidyard_id=, episode_number=5, other_video_link=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q790QHw9ygY?list=PLacjonquV87-TY-igUetNtlhHuD5JkIpw, episode_title=Ep 5 - Nur Syahidah Alim - World No. 1 Para Archer, description=Syahidah was born with cerebral palsy. This condition affects the lower half of her body, which compromises her mobility, balance and posture. This has led to Syahidah finding it difficult to walk and stand for long periods of time. However, her parents didn’t give her preferential treatment over her able-bodied siblings. She was assigned the same amount of household chores and treated “as if I was ‘normal’ at home.” In fact, Syahidah wasn’t aware that she was born with different physical capabilities growing up. It was only when she enrolled into a mainstream primary school that Syahidah realised she was unlike her peers. Classmates wouldn’t let her join their basketball or badminton games, saying “you’re not fast enough” or “you’re gonna make us lose”.  But Syahidah had a secret weapon to get her through life: a ‘badass’ mum who wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. Syahidah’s story will inspire and encourage so many people. Her narrative is one of resilience, and not taking no for an answer. We ask her about some of the stereotypes and stigma she’s had to push through as someone with a disability. We get to know how she got into archery and how the sport has helped her on her journey. We also ask her how her mother’s refusing to give up attitude has helped to make her the person she is today, and what are some of the challenges her mother has helped her to overcome., id=2941199203, title=Game Changers - Women in Sport}, {video_thumbnail=https://6212555.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6212555/Circle%20Watch/Series/DCG/Game%20Changers%20Women%20in%20Sport/GameChangers%20-%20Joan%20Liew-04.jpg, path=game-changers-episode-6-joan-liew-ifbb-professional-bodybuilder, vidyard_id=, episode_number=6, other_video_link=https://www.youtube.com/embed/y7FAKnwPnmo?list=PLacjonquV87-TY-igUetNtlhHuD5JkIpw, episode_title=Ep 6 - Joan Liew - IFBB Professional Bodybuilder, description=Joan Liew is a Singaporean bodybuilder and fitness coach.

Joan has been featured in the Singapore Book of Records as the “Top Woman Bodybuilder in Asia” as well. When she was 8 years old, Joan had stumbled upon a book titled “Keep Fit” during a trip to the library. Intrigued by the cover image of a woman dressed in a 70s-looking leotard and legwarmers, she went ahead and borrowed the book. A year later, Joan wondered into a gym and tried a Lat Pulldown machine for the first time while she was at a friend’s condominium for a birthday party. This first encounter really inspired her to pursue weight training in the future. On top of all she has done, she wrote a book The Skinny Sumo Wrestler.
