LIFE LESSONS: A COACH'S LEGACY
by Gwen P. Holtsclaw
I will teach my team the pleasures of hard work
And the importance of teamwork.
I will show them the joys of reaching a goal
And the satisfaction of finishing strong.
I will explain to them the beauty of integrity
And the fulfillment of fitness.
I will know their name
And demand thier best.
I wll do these things because I love them
And respect them.
The surest way I know to teach these things
Is to have them learn by my example.
Cheerleading....
*Cheerleading is a way of life, shared by a chosen few,
It is working as a unit in everything you do
Cheerleading is a rivalry, the competition makes you strong,
It is sharing secrets and tears, learning to get along
Cheerleading is that ongoing drive to be the very best,
It is patience, perseverance, and very little rest
Cheerleading is having poise and charm with every word you say,
It is total dedication twenty-four hours a day
It is always being ready with encouragement and a smile
Cheerleading is your chance to express your individual style
Cheerleading is reaching out to comfort a sister who is sad,
It is defending each other in good times and the bad
Cheerleaders are always there when someone asks,
They treasure the present moment and let go of the past
Cheerleading is a talent to be able to shine on cue
It is hiding the pain and anguish that if only half the people knew
Cheerleaders, after all, are real people that sometimes get down
but when they're in the spotlight, they must never show a frown
Cheerleaders are actresses always ready to go
That is why it's important for all the world to know
Not every girl can be a cheerleader, it takes a special kind
Cheerleaders are full of life and a little bit out of their minds.
