It was compiled by 25 NPSI students, who are aspiring journalists. They interviewed 21 Singapore sports personalities themselves and wrote the articles.

The 120-page book, which can be bought against a charity contribution of $20 or higher, is available at NPS International (10 & 12 Chai Chee Lane,Singapore 469021 & 469022).

The proceeds will go to a sports charity.
