Who.What.When.Where.How.(Revisited)

One cannot stay long in cheer without some measure of passion. However, the problem with passion is that it only gets us so far... In the way that "power is nothing without control"(G-force), passion is nothing if you do not give it direction.

Who
Everyone on the squad. We call ourself Wildcards. In card games with wildcards, the wildcard would have no face value, yet is able to take the place of any card. In the same way, we should be Wildcards in more then name, able to work with anyone to form a useable hand. Never think that just because you're able to use one flyer/base for a stunt that you've mastered the stunt. Mastering the stunt would mean being able to do that stunt with any flyer/base on the team.

What
Cheerleading. A sport that comprises of stunts, dances, jumps and gymnastics in which strength, flexility and technique is required. There are sites with pretty good info online for those who want to find out more.

When
Wildcards train two times a week, three/four hours a training. Unlike some other teams, we are unable to bring our members through hours of physical training. You guys have to keep in shape by yourselves. consult your coaches if in doubt of what you should be training. If unsure of how to gym, you can ask wei hao, chaang or gary.
During training, keep yourselves productive. When there's a three minutes break, take your break and come back ready for training on the mats. When stunting, don't stunt blindly, if there's a mistake, try to correct it instead of doing it over and over again hoping it'll magically dissapear.

Where
Anywhere, anytime. Be it on the mats, at the gym or at home, there's things you can do to train. When watching tv, stretch! (don't skip, not good for the eyes) flyers also can practice standing on liang teh cans. There's plenty of free time in the day. Every little thing helps!

How
Train smart. As mentioned above, be productive. Easy trainings, Tough competition. Tough trainings, easy competition. Treat every training as you would a performance. Never make the mistake of not going all out on a stunt, thinking that you'll go all out during nationals/performance. What you do normally is burnt into your muscle memory and would occur without you thinking about it.

Why
There would be times when you're burnt out,when you wonder what is it that you're fighting so hard for. This is something we coaches cannot decide for you. You alone choose what your aim in cheerleading is. Dream big! Then work towards that dream. Remember you're never alone, help each other towards your goals and dreams, be it simply reaching a layout or bringing the local cheer scene to the next level. Know that nothing is impossible unless you believe it to be so.

Work hard. Train smart. Create our winning hand.
