LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

In the light of recent interest for world-class sports achievement in Singapore, the responsibility of the local schools is to engineer the environment for academic and sporting excellence. By then examining existing literature, the authors identified various themes that have been frequently attributed as necessary ingredients for pedagogic and coaching success. These variables - school culture, role of the principal, teachers, peers, facilities, and recognition - were then validated through a case study of an eminent local student-athlete. The writers hope that the validation of these variables will inspire schools towards sporting and academic excellence in Singapore.
