I'm almost done coaching. This year is my last, and we're getting down the the end. Out of 8 years, I made sure that this team would be the one I picked just because I liked the girls. I figured I could teach them to cheer, just as long as they are nice humans. One of the best decisions I have made. This team has been such a joy to coach. I might be going over the top, though. Placing them on a pedastal? I seriously think everything they do is precious, and that there will never be another team as good as this one I have put together.
(I think those things in my head. They will not know I like them until our banquet. Coach is no softy.)
As the year winds down, there are so many things I want to teach them, and I'm worried I won't get the chance. Cheer stuff, yes, but mostly how to use the correct form of certain words ("your" vs. "you're") Who will tell them that "Ima" (as in, "Ima miss you") is not a real word???? Who will harp on them when they send texts with horrible grammar ("Ey Coach- Ima be late because my sister can't watch my baby brother no more so I gotta be here at home but Ima be there soon like in 20 minutes")??? Ugh. I'm kidding, but I'm really going to miss them so much. We might not all have back tucks, but they sure are good people. I love these kiddos.
Notice I only have one blondie.
I'd post a lot of awesome pyramid pictures, but my external hard drive is not connected....You'll be seeing many more as June closes in, I'm sure.
Awe...you make me proud Nessa! :) It's all about the kids!
ReplyDeleteI Love the uniforms. Your so lucky to get to work with such awesome colors! Glad you are enjoying this year. SDo is this really your last year?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny =) I would have never been in THEIR lives if you hadn't been in mine, so thanks for the great cheer program that so many of us benefited from!
ReplyDeleteCindi, I love their uniforms, too. They have awesome colors, I agree. I love the plain liners. I want to stay so badly! If I had someone to split the games with me, it would be different. I'm so bummed about it. I'll still help them with fundraisers and all of that, and I'll go watch them cheer sometimes.
AWWWW... Ness you are such a great coach and I know how much hard work you put into those girls. They are going to remember you forever, I still remember my best coaches!!
ReplyDeleteWhat you guys didn't like the brown and gold? For shame! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou sound like such a great coach...grammar lessons included (please! bad grammar is just so....bad!). How fun for you! Enjoy these last few months! What's next for you?
