Early Morning....

I’ve been coaching drill team now for five months and while I love teaching I must say sometimes it is really hard to get going in the mornings and even harder to stay motivated, be happy and act alive while I am there!! But then there are those days when you see the improvement the girls are making and feel the sense of accomplishments that you are making as a team and it makes it all worthwhile!!!! I have to say I have been really lucky this year to have the girls on the team that I do. They work so hard every day (not only that they want to have extra practices ALL THE TIME), they all get a long so great, they do things as a team and have really helped to lift each other up on the “not so great days.” This last month we have been struggling to get grades up and the whole team decided that they would put in the extra time together to help each other with homework and decided not to perform until EVERYONE could. When I asked them why, they said “because we’re a team and that’s how we perform!” What can I say…I’m a lucky coach! Above is a picture of one of the many beautiful sunrises that we get to see every morning. This time we thought it would be fun to take a time out and get a picture to share with everyone still home in bed… Hope you enjoy!
