Long Live Cheer!

This season we 2 at the first nationals and 5 at the second nationals. We did win grand champions at one competition though.

Then we had a month off for tumbling and flying classes. When I took my tumbling class I got my double full and a standing back tuck.

Then it came to try outs or evaluations! Right before I was about o try out I hurt my foot. With a brossed heal and a sprained ankle but I don’t know why I landed like normal. But everything happens for a reason!!!

Now that we have had our winter break we are in second semester. that means your elecives change and your reading teacher dose to. I have guiar and art, and for reading i have Ms. Kreidl. So your grades have a new start. New clean start. I just got back from cheer nationals and we got 2nd place. We  were in 3rd place but they added an extra diuction. Tey told us in our room in Indi and my friend and i went screaming across the room. They told our parents to get their video cameras and not say anything. It was the best experience of my life, and i will have another in Orlando, Flordia coming soon.

So I interviewed my dads friend Don! He is a soccer coach!

1 – How long have you coached soccer?

I have been coaching over 15 years. I don’t want to say exactly because it makes me feel old.

2 – What age is your team? Are they boys or girls?

I am currently coaching a U12 girls team (11 and 12 years old). I’ne always  coached girls starting with my oldest daughter’s team all those years ago. Having two daughters, I’ve learned to relate better to girls.

3 – what is the funniest thing that happened while you have
coached soccer?

Once, in the middle of a
particularly hard-fought game, a small dog ran onto the field.  Play was
stopped while all the girls on the field tried to round up the dog.  When
it was finally caught, the center referee walked over to the sideline where the
dog was and promptly sent him off (showed him a red card)!  Well, both
teams had a good laugh at this and the rest of the game went without
incident.  Even the opposing parents had a laugh together and you don’t
often see that!

4 – what is the hardest thing about the job?

There are numerous challenges I
face each season.

At the level I coach, you get
players of different commitment levels.  Some of the girls love to play,
love to practice, and love to run; and others don’t.  The hardest part is
trying to get those less interested girls to play hard.  Soccer is a
tough, physical game and should be played hard.  Most of the time, the
more you work and the harder you play, the more fun you have.

Another difficult challenge is
getting the players (and even worse, their parents) to look past the scoreboard.
Sometimes, the girls play hard and well and we still don’t win.  This
happens.  My goal as a coach is to get the kids to learn and enjoy the
game.  Sometimes we learn the most when we lose, but play well.

5-what is your favorite part about being a soccer coach?

I love the sport!  I love
stepping on the pitch each week.  But, my favorite part is watching my
players learn and grow.  I try to be a positive role model on the field as
well as off it.  I have seen many of my former players playing in college,
or on club teams after they leave me.  I’ve also seen them turn into
wonderful young ladies.  Some are parents now and have little soccer
players of their own.  I hope they pass along their interest and enjoyment
of soccer to the next generation.

I try to teach more than how to
play the game.  I try to teach the kids how to compete fairly, within the
laws of the game.  Learning how to compete hard, how to win with grace and
lose with dignity, is an important skill that goes beyond any game.

As you see he loves soccer. And if you love soccer you may someday become a soccer coach!
