| I would like to Thank Jenna Aldrich for being such a great Athlete, Junior Coach, and a Great Kid!
For so many years Jenna has worked so hard to get her skills and to be a great team player. Jenna has been with us since the beginning. She came to us with barely a round-off. She worked and worked and got her full and then lost it. As a coach it's the worst thing to see a kid get a mental block in tumbling. We gave her direction and she just couldn't get it back. The other day she got it and it was a great feeling. But I noticed no one said anything on the message board about her getting her full. I didn’t even hear any chatter about it. (By the way, she is going to kill me for writing this) Anyhow, I noticed many other athletes got on the message board but no Jenna. I couldn’t understand why until I continued to watch her practice and coach. I thought about it and came to the conclusion that Jenna is just one of those kids that will just do and do and doesn't need that pat on the back. Well, I feel everyone deserves a pat on the back. So, here's your pat Jenna. You deserve many pats on your back for doing what you do. You have worked so hard in your tumbling not only for yourself but for your team. You also have blown me away with how well you have done in becoming a phenomenal Flyer. The amount of time and dedication to becoming a well rounded Cheerleader and Dancer has paid off. You are an amazing athlete that never complains and deserves great things in your life. By the way, this is a kid that comes early to practice and never misses practice. And always puts the team first. She has been doing this for the last 4 ½ years!
Thank you for being that kid that every coach wants in their gym. It seems when you have a kid like her that does everything we ask, we forget to say Thanks!
Thank you Jenna! You are ULTIMATE!

| Hey Danielle,
I don't want to take away from the other athlete's accomplishments. Especially your daughters. Kiara has done an amazing job and I'm very proud of her hardwork. However, Jenna just has been at it for so long and we have not acknowledged her accomplishments as a team and gym as much as we should. So I just wanted to recognize her.
Danielle,Thank you so much for your support and dedication to Ultimate!

| ???? Sorry Bobby but I am lost???? my comment was to share my agreement with what you had written in recognizing Jenna's hard work ,nothing more.
I have always tried to be a strong and positive supporter to UCA athletes,(not just my daughters.) I fail to see how my reply implies otherwise.
My sincere apology if it sounded that way.

| Aww thank you guys so much. Everyone at the gym means very much to me an pushes me very hard. I will never forget when i first came to the gym in 6th grade and could barely do a roundoff. Then when i got my backhandspring i recieved the nickname "froggy" because of my legs.LOL
Mean while today i have a full thanks to all of you guys. I have a blast at the gym and i thank you guys also very much on complimenting my flying because yes i work very hard at stretching and practicing ,especially now that we fly both legs.( i still stretch on a daily basis just to maintain the flexibility an gain more :) But i love working hard for things to know that i accomplished them. I also enjoy very much helping coach all you kids and love seeing you guys get knew skills and improve like i did. It is devastating and frustrating when have something and lose it whether to lack of practice or maybe an injury. For myself i did have an injury which was rather embarassing because i sprained my ankle in the cheer of the cheer routine.But yes i had my full and then lost it and then had it and lost it so many times i would get so down and mad and frustrated all at once, but i now have it again. Anyways thank you guys all very much and i just wanted to share that not only is my dream to be a neonatal instensive care practitioner but to also fly and cheer in college.

| Jenna, no problem you are doing great!
Hey Danielle! It seems this is a misunderstanding. Give me a call. I know you agreed with me but I was only trying to not let anyone feel left out. I was just wanting to say by recognizing Jenna, I didn't want anyone to feel like I don't care about their accomplishments. That's all, it's all good! Sorry if it came out wrong. Call me!
