A series of many team exchanges!

A few phone calls, and a few sms-es.

That was all that was needed to initiate 3 exchanges within a month!

Wildcards & RP Rexaz - 3 Oct 2010

Going to Republic Polytechnic Rexaz totally changed my perception of female bases in Singapore. For a female shoulder stand to do a gladiator (aka: 1-1-1) is REALLY SOMETHING! And Crestlyn is really ZAI! My jaw dropped when she did a walk up hands, press to single extension and dismounted the stunt properly. Fantastic!

Wildcards & KR Steppers - 9 Oct 2010

I managed to catch a glimpse of Step (their team is named after her FYI) when I went to KR Steppers. I still remembered the year when Team Spectrum made our debut in Group Co-ed Open Category during 2007 Nationals. That was also the year KR Steppers made their debut in the Team Co-ed Open Category. I really respect Step, because in 2007 she did what I couldn't do: send a full team to Nationals. She made me understand that it is possible to chase your dream. And my dream was to assemble a full team for Nationals, because I firmly believe Nationals is instrumental for any team to grow.

Wildcards & Alpha Verve - 16 Oct 2010

Wildcards hosted Alpha in our 3rd exchange for Oct 2010. Alpha has a lot of potential this season. I am very happy I introduced Xingwei to coach Alpha, because I am confident he has the ability to teach the right techniques. Alpha is now trying to break out of their comfort zone, and are trying hard to do so. May their determination set the yardstick for others to break out of their comfort zone to continue improving as well!

For myself, I really enjoyed the full around I hit with Xuewei! I haven't really had the chance to stunt with Xuewei often despite the fact that we were formerly team mates back in NTU ACES (2005 - 2006). Having stunted with Ashley and Ally from Kentucky, I can confidently say that Xuwei's toss has already matched Kentucky's standard. If you are an existing Alpha Verve cheerleader and you're reading this, please learn to cherish your coach. She is one of the best flyers I have ever seen in Singapore!

Looking forward to Nationals 2011!
