Versatile teen player hails 'great opportunity' at school event as she sets sights on overseas stint
Madelin Lock is as good with her feet as she is with her hands – as a student-athlete she has proved her prowess on both the football field and basketball court.
A former Lion City Sailors academy player, the midfielder scored a hat-trick in her final game for the club's Women's Premier League team in 2023.
And on May 23, the Hwa Chong Institution basketball captain, 18, led her team to the National School Games A Division girls' title.
Football and basketball are her favourite sports, but in 2023 the Singaporean quit football to focus on the latter as she wants to "pave the way" for the next generation.
"I realised that in football, a lot of my teammates want to go pro, and there are a lot of opportunities given to footballers, such as the Unleash The Roar! (scholarship), and people like Danelle Tan have already paved the way," said Lock, on the sidelines of a clinic held by the National Basketball Association (NBA) at Spectra Secondary School on May 30.
