Canagasabai Kunalan - or Mr K, as he is better known to students and colleagues - is a legend in Singapore's sporting history. With a total of 15 SEA Games and 5 Asian Games medals under his belt and a host of National Records to his name, he is an inspiration to his students, colleagues and fellow sportsmen.
But there is more to Mr K than his sporting success. Few are aware of the battles he faced in his personal life - struggling against racial taboos to marry a woman of another race and juggling the roles of teacher, son, husband, father, coach and sportsman.
This book draws a portrait of a man of extraordinary gallentry and humility whose story is an inspiration - be it in sporting, teaching or family.
