Comprising over 30 members, Team 100PLUS is a good mix of international sports superstars and everyday athletes united by their passion for sport and inspiring the sporting community
Singapore, 27 February 2024 - Singapore's leading isotonic brand 100PLUS revealed its inaugural brand ambassadors programme on Sunday, in a cozy closed doors session at Sport Plus Studios that brought together both high performance athletes and everyday citizen athlete creators.
An initiative designed to inspire the Singapore sporting community to pursue their dreams regardless of their background, Team 100PLUS looks to advocate a sporting lifestyle and help individuals outdo themselves whatever they set their minds to.
Team 100PLUS will also be participating in 100PLUS sponsored events in the coming year as a team, and sharing about the importance of staying hydrated while participating in physical activity - regardless of whether you are an elite athlete or weekend warrior.
Olympic swimmer and Team Singapore athlete Quah Jing Wen, newly inducted into Team 100PLUS shared that she was initially very nervous as she was new and is actually an introvert, but thoroughly enjoyed the session after meeting everyone and is looking forward to building a community around the 100PLUS brand.
Distance runner Vanessa Lee, winner of last year's Great Eastern Women's Run and Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon Half-marathon, also echoed the sentiment that it was a fun day and great opportunity to meet the rest of Team 100PLUS.
Football Freestyler Shaun Tan hopes to educate more people about the importance of hydration, while national footballer Hassan Sunny hopes that there will be more events which bring Team 100PLUS together in future. Read up on what they had to say in our Vox Pop interview with SportPlus.sg editor Hana Basir here.
Q: How did you feel about today prior to the event?
Quah Jing Wen: I was actually very nervous because I didn’t know how it was going to be like plus I’m new here! I’m social if you talk to me one-on-one and I can be pretty outgoing but down to the core, I’m an introvert. After meeting everyone though, it was really fun.
Vanessa Lee: I was so tired because I didn’t sleep to be honest! After starting the activities, it woke me up quite a lot. It was really fun.
Shaun Tan: I felt nervous because I knew I had to meet new people!
Hassan Sunny: This has been a good session for us because it was the first time we got together. Usually, it’s through Instagram and social media so it was a good move from Sport Plus and 100PLUS to have this event for us, making it easier to connect. We are a team so this is very useful for us!
Q: What’s been the best part about today so far?
Quah Jing Wen: Meeting the new people! This sounds so bad but I don’t have a lot of friends outside of swimming because I was overseas studying for a while so expanding my circle was really nice. Everyone here was so cool and chill so I really liked that.
Vanessa Lee: The best part about today was getting to know the other ambassadors and the 100PLUS team.
Shaun Tan: everyone was so friendly and it was so easy to connect with everyone. I think everyone is into sports and so that’s a common ground and that made it easy to make friends.
Hassan Sunny: The best part has been the games! They were very interesting. I think we all enjoyed it and that was the most important thing. We’re all here on a Sunday morning, everyone probably had their own plans but we're here abd we had so much fun.
Q: How do you feel meeting Team 100PLUS today?
Quah Jing Wen: It felt really good! I’m excited to work with the brand this year.
Vanessa Lee: It’s been great! Usually, we’d always like to be able to put a face to the name and I think it’s been really great to be able to interact in real life rather than through emails or online. It was great that everyone could come together.
Shaun Tan: They were so friendly and approachable and shared so much knowledge about the drinks. It’s such a good opportunity to be onboard.
Hassan Sunny: It’s quite new for me. Usually, I see my football teammates everyday and now I’ve met people from different sports. Now I’m able to talk to them and get to know people from other sporting backgrounds so it was really good for me.
Q: What do you look forward to most being part of Team 100PLUS?
Quah Jing Wen: Building a community around the brand and doing activities together!
Vanessa Lee: I look forward most to the drinks!
Shaun Tan: I’m looking forward to sharing the drink with the sporting community in Singapore so they can get more nutritions and get better hydrated while exercising.
Hassan Sunny: We should have more events like this! It’s important for us to connect with each other since we are a team. Hopefully with this, 100PLUS and Sport Plus can be successful in the future.
