PUAH Pei San has the unique distinction of returning to where she started — playing netball as a teacher and coach.
Since early this year, Pei San, who studied at the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) from 1999 to 2003, has joined the school as a teacher and appointed its netball coach.
However, it was a peculiar situation when she reported at BJSS. Most of the netball players were her teammates and close friends.
“I have to admit that it was difficult but after some time, the players accepted me as one of the coaches. Being former teammates was also good and the players understand me better.
“They have been very cooperative during training and I am enjoying my stint as a coach, It is exciting and challenging. Being a former student of BJSS, I am comfortable with the system and I am enjoying it,’’ said Pei San.
