In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Kenneth Goh, who is Secretary-General of Singapore Aquatics and a former national record holder in swimming, discussed how training for the Olympics exacts a steep price from young athletes. He noted that while financial and public support for athletes to see through their training may have increased since Joseph Schooling’s early years, there is room to do more.
