IT was an eye-opening experience for the three winners of the StarMetro Most Promising Player award when they attended a three-day training camp in Kuala Lumpur recently.
The trio of Brenn Do Kho, Sim Zi Xuan and R. Premsandiran had the chance to train under national women’s coach Yoong Sze Yuin.
All three had participated in the AND1 3 on 3 streetball challenge, organised by the Ossia World of Golf, last year.
The Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA), who has sanctioned the challenge, had promised to give the award winners in each leg the opportunity to join the national training camp.
Brenn, a Form Three student of SMK Bukit Unjul, Klang said he enjoyed the training sessions and the coach was very helpful.
“The training was good and I learnt a lot of new techniques involved in basketball. What I have learnt here will come in handy when I represent my school in the age group competitions,’’ said Brenn.
