I havent really talked much about my coaching gig this fall. I coach cheerleading to 22 girls from the ages of 4-14. I went into this with basic knowledge of my own years as a cheerleader growing up. My main task was to really just teach them the motions and maybe put a few cheers together. I have to say that my girls are amazing!! I have been blown away by how fast they are picking up routines and cheers. Even my little ones are having a great time learning. I have implemented a lot of incentives for the girls because I want to make sure they know how much I appreciate their hard work.

I have alot of little girls on my squad who are very insecure and have low self esteem. Their mothers put them in Cheerleading to help build confidence in them and I would like to think that is what I am doing. It is very easy for me to tell which child struggles with themselves and I make sure I take extra time to motivate them and tell them how talented they are. I am actually starting to see it make a difference. I feel so blessed to have been put in a situation where I can give back to these young girls. I feel that God put me here to help motivate these young girls to work hard and to feel good about the work they have done.

God is so awesome and it feels good to be a part of his plan in these girls lives. I hope they can take something away from our time together and I will miss them when they go.........I feel so honored to be coaching these girls. They are beautiful, loving and talented young girls and I cant wait for next weeks game and practice!!!!

Namaste~
