The ABC’S of Cheerleading

Always be on time and have a good Attitude in all you do and be
Accountable in your own actions

Be the Best cheerleader and person you can Be

Courage, have it in the face of defeat and be Confident in yourself and have good Character, it takes years to build it and mere seconds to destroy it, and most important is Communication with you Coach and squad

Dependable, how we know we can count on each other

Enthusiastic and Eager, to do all that is asked of us and more
Faithful and Friends, put these two words together and we are a strong squad

Good Grades, these always come first

Honesty, is how we believe in each other and Hard work will account for everything else

Integrity & Intelligence, if you have the first one the second will follow in all you do

Just cheer, need I say more

Kindness, to your fellow man/cheerleader

Loyalty, Loyalty to the coach and our squad Listening, to truly hear what is being said and not what you think is being said Love for the sport Look your best and cheer your Loudest

Motivation, is how we keep each other going through all the hard stuff

Never quit or curse, quitters never win and winners never quit, the second speaks for itself

Open minds and hearts, Open your mind to all possibilities and the second one will follow

Practice makes Perfect when you have the Passion

Quality is more important than Quantity

Responsible & Respectful, if we are always these, we are always winners

Strength, in body, mind and Soul Style, in everything else Sportsmanship, to everyone we meet Smile, ALWAYS

Team, many bodies but only one HEART Time, one thing you can never get back once it's wasted

Unity, as the saying goes,” United we stand, divided we fall"

Visualize & Vocalize, see what others can’t and say what other want

Wisdom, to change the things you can and to understand the things you can not and to have the Wisdom to know the difference!

exemplify, cheerleaders lead by example

Year, full of hard work, practices, games, car washes, parties, parades, friends, laughter, tears and to do all this with a "SMILE"

Zero is the amount of tolerance a good coach has for anyone who does not give their all including herself!

Success :

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but think you can't,
it’s almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
Success begins with a person's faith;
it’s all a state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster hand.
They go to the ones that believes in themselves,
And always thinks I can.

"In life we do things; some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they make us who we are. And in the end, those experiences shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn't be at the exact place that we are today. So just live, make mistakes, and have wonderful times, but never EVER second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is that you are going.""CHAMPIONS PRACTICE HARD EVEN WHEN NOBODY'S WATCHING!!!

"If you have someone equal in ability to me I will beat him every time because I will try harder."
Pete Rose


Don't do anything in practice that you wouldn't do at competition."George Halas

 

 

*Do what you love to do ~ and love what you do !
*It's not the amount of hours you put in, it's what you put into the hours.
*The will to win is important , but the will to be prepared is vital.
* Your mind is what makes everything else work.

Success is not a matter of where you stand, but in what direction you are moving.

 

 Do what you love...love what you do!

Nothing is work, unless you'd rather be doing something else.

Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange
       for it.  Establish your priorities and go to work.
                                                                                  - H. L. Hunt                                                  
The only way to avoid mistakes is to gain experience and the easiest way to gain experience is to make some mistakes.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
