Isaac Koh, 7, has big dreams. Watch how he overcomes challenges, one at a time, as he works towards his goal of becoming a national athlete.

SINGAPORE - "I want to represent Singapore in competitions overseas," says a determined Isaac Koh when asked about his biggest dream.

The seven-year-old has been practising taekwondo since the age of four. He was introduced to the sport by his father, Mr Edwin Koh, who is also a taekwondo exponent.

Coach Ernesto Guzman Jr sees the potential in Isaac and hopes to help him achieve his dream.

"Isaac is one of my best students... Isaac is very different because he is very focused on his training and he likes to learn a lot," said Mr Ernesto.

At last year's National Poomsae Taekwondo Championships, Isaac won a silver medal. This year, he strives for gold. Will he succeed?
