Because they are not professional in their approach to competitive sports, they are management and bean counters first and foremost rather than athletes.
seems like no one can take bluntness for what it is
or humour.
welcome to life. i must say that i'm very disappointed at the course this has taken.
you are right, perhaps i did not really think it through before i postedIf this is what life is supposed to be like, depriving loved ones of contact, then the Singapore coaches have a very warped sense of life.
Give us a break nightmare, maybe go live a life and come back with something usefull other then bluntness which has no relevance. Whilst this was probably done with good intent, it hasnt been thought through, and others have explained the concequences of this on the performance of the team.
What if eastwest got in trouble, or even worse, had to be admitted to hospital or something (touch wood) he couldnt even contact his wife, but dont worry, he gets to call another number where someone wont answer, well thats fantastic, look how good life is!
One more thing, Humour? Your not funny! Maybe learn a trick or two from some of the really quality funny shows whilst your over in the UK. Might aswell get something out of your trip right?
On hindsight, must follow what we do when we go reservist. Bring two mobile phones, one for show/confiscation, and the other for real use
HEHEHE

What I feel is that if isolation is part of the game, then it should be applied even in training and objectives/reasons be made known to the affected person.
nightmare does have his point too... a clarification thru the 'hotline' or thru SSC would get better answers. Then we might debate the merits of the decision.
I spoke with a Phys Ed teacher at the weekend who told me that this approach of complete team isolation was popular in the 80s but deemed to have a negative effect and is not used at all now by major competitive teams. When you see teams arriving for major football matches now, I've noticed that a lot of players are plugged into their iPods and quite distant from the rest of the team. I am sure they have their phones with them too!
I am sure a lot of research has gone into this area but doubt whether the Singapore Hockey Federation has studied any of it.
Anyone know whether they won yesterday or not? Despite six pages of coverage in Today, they do not have any result, even in a big list of results. I think the media is only interested in the sports that Singapore do well at.
