Zi Ng
Program Admin, Coach
Zi is a product of dedication to the process. His journey with MPFPT began in 2015 as a Distance Coaching client. Since then, he has educated himself extensively in the science of functional training for sports, executed and tested training theories, competed in Australian Ultimate Championships, became a Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC), and also jammed with Humiliswag Beach Ultimate team at the 2016 UA Open, Boracay Island, taking home Champion without any prior Beach Ultimate experience!
As a sports performance coach, he has assisted Tim Morrill at MP Clinics in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He also took the opportunity to assist the Malaysian Under-24 World Ultimate Championship campaign of 2018. Two athletes executed a full year of Distance Coaching directly with Zi, where he used MPFPT and the CFSC as a resource. The championship was conveniently hosted in Perth, Australia, where Zi is currently based and he was on the ground with the team throughout the tournament lending his expertise.
As an extra, you might find it interesting to know that during his youth, he competed in Recurve Field Archery, as seen in the Olympic games, and represented his school. Archery being a significant part of the Malaysian National Sports program, gave him the taste of parading through a stadium with hundreds of athletes across many sports, living in athlete quarters and paid allowances. While he did not win any medals, he was awarded sporting colours by his school.
