By Jayson Ong. 1st SNCC Group Stunts Champion (Wildcards)

After today training, on my way back home.

a sudden thought came to my mind.

complacent

somehow, i feel that 4 more weeks to cheerobic, with this kind of standard. i personally feel that we will not win.

i began to feel afraid. afraid of not winning, where else people can dont come for training, and not knowing where the team stand is.

though i do not have a right to say, but well, i just writing down my thoughts down here.

from the last training for the team comparing with today, i feel like we should alr be hitting on 100% with the stunts alr.

not falling anymore.

if every training is gotta be lik this, falling and falling, not getting the stunts up.

it will scare the shit out of me.

4 more weeks. what do we have? Dance not yet finish touched up, stunts not 100% hit. what else?(this i suppose that isnt done yet)

jia you wildcards.

make your 1 year training worthwhile.

give all your best for this 4 weeks.

4 weeks, to showing your effort and result to the people out there!

JIA YOU!

group stunt.

i didnt expect me get the feeling of “wanting to win”

How much do you all want to win?

as i put in effort, putting in my time,effort to keep the stunt up,making and hoping that it will not fall.

i believe, we will get national champion.

i used to being “sian”

hearing people say, you position so easy one and the most slack.

who in short, translate saying, you just go there do nothing, do abit can alr. since it slacking.

but i had put in my all, and panting,

why will a “slacker” be panting?

just feel disappointed.

today, i realized that a loader.

not only making sure the stunt is up.

catch flyer when fall.

but he also can help, by communicating with the group mates, reminding them of their forgetfulness, making crisis control, motivates grpmates.

there’s so more being a loader.

either be a weak one, or be the best one.

i will aim to be the best one.

groupmates let’s go!

Happy Birthday Joanna!

Joanna (feat. patrick) as a Wildcard @ 1st SNCC 2010

Joanna is a very special flyer.

I met her back in 2009 through my former coach Jesse. Back then, she was just an average flyer with nothing but bones. =P

Many of us know Joanna as the shy, quiet girl who sings to herself randomly and talks to her bf Ignatius with a language nobody could understand =.=

But a lot of us didn't know that she spent a lot of money on taxis just to be on time for practice on Saturdays. And the taxi fares she had to bear when she had to rush off to church after practice when we were nearing competition.

A lot of us didn't know that she was actually very scared to learn so many new and difficult techniques in such a short span of time.

A lot of us didn't know the difficulties she was facing when she decided to join us for Nationals this year.

Joanna is always this cheerful flyer who puts up a strong front because she didn't want anybody to worry.

As we continue with our journey, let us not forget all the contributions and sacrifices Joanna has made for this team. Wildcards would not be who we are today without her presence.

You will always be a Wildcard. And you will always be our friend.

Happy birthday Joanna.

Stretch yourself further!

Pertaining to what Eric mentioned during debrief yesterday, it is time for yet another ''reality check''.

According to him, a lot of us have been doing the same stunts over and over again. You need to ''take some risks'' and ''push yourself harder''. In order to do that, you need to ''get out of your comfort zone''. (yes i have been saying that since day one just that coming from Eric sounds more encouraging. zzzzz) You also need to be more proactive in pushing yourself out of your comfort zone by knowing what stunts you can progress from what you already can do.

Jayson's first solid cupie on 03/07/10 with Jasmine

I need to give kudos to Jayson for living up to being a true Wildcard. Unlike most of us, Jayson came to us with totally no experience in cheerleading & gymnastics. In order to catch up with the team, Jayson proactively goes for every single one of our DIY sessions. He also takes his team members advice seriously and hits the gym. Jayson joined Wildcards in Sept09. Despite being in NS now, he is still constantly improving.

Constantly improving means being able to do stunts you can already do with greater proficiency AND learning new stuff AT THE SAME TIME.

We all know we are lacking in the gymnastics area. I have already found you all a good gym coach, but there is only so much I can do. The rest is up to you.

Isaac and Joline - Pioneer batch of Wildcards

Isaac and Joline came to us with little experience in 2008. Back then, Joline could hardly manage a toss hands. Isaac had a history of a broken right elbow and had no gymnastics background. To be very honest, I really did not expect isaac with his elbow condition to go this far! Today we are seeing joline hitting full up cupies and Isaac being proficient in both left and right cupies + gymnastics.

Isaac is now the OIC for team gymnastics and is still trying to bring up the entire team's level. But he cannot do this alone. You need to help him, to help yourselves!

Huishan(pioneer wildcard) & Ochi

Huishan is the only existing Wildcard flyer who came to us with zero cheerleading/gymnastics background. Her flexibility was also horrible then. Since she joined us in 2008, huishan is already doing cupie pop overs, bow & arrows and double full dismounts. She is still looking to complete her layout to be an all rounded flyer.

Ochi came to us in 2009 with no sense of momentum (ok he is slightly better now) and couldn't even hit toss hands for nuts. Today, Ochi holds the post of Vice-Captain and DIY OIC in Wildcards. His DIY programs have benefited the stunting proficiency of the team as a whole, and is probably the one responsible for making outdoor stunting popular in Singapore. Ochi is aware that while he can comfortably hit pop overs now, he still needs to work on his baskets and gymnastics.

We do not train with special charms or secret techniques to achieve what we want to do. The extra ingredient voices down to how badly you want to achieve and to what extend you are willing to make this happen.

Time to take the next step people!

CR's comments: Jaslyn recovered from a broken arm in 2007 just to be in time for her first national level competition in 2008. Unlike most who are traumatized by their past, Jaslyn is a strong individual who chose to look forward to the future. A versatile flyer who is committed to the team and towards perpetual self improvement.

At 1.68 meters and 47kg, Nellie isn't your typical flyer. She has ridiculously long legs (which makes her damm hard to toss bcos of all that extra distance) and absurdly poor flexibility =P

But Wildcard's first Team Manager has gone a long way since 2006, providing the essential backoffice support for the team.
