While Vincent, who turns 51 in December, has spent most of his life in physical sports, growing older has helped him realise that sports isn’t limited to physical ability.”Strategy, discipline, concentration, decision-making and mental resilience are equally important,” he said.So when he had the opportunity to contribute to the development of mind sports in Singapore, he saw it as work that is complementary to what he’s been doing.
