9.26.2009~My cheerleader Shayne~

So--what does my Shayne look like when she's actually cheerleading?
A cheerleader of course! And what do I look like when I am coaching that cheerleading squad?
The answer...
Not nice. And on this particular day it was worse because I haven't been feeling that well. Nothing major. Just sinus and cold stuff. But just sinus and cold stuff does not mix well with cheerleading. I will yell with the girls sometimes to get them back on track to sound as a squad and not 12 girls all starting at different points. I also will yell for them to repeat the cheer until it is right. A LOT. I sound...like a drill sergeant. BUT if they are going to do this, they need to know how to do it correctly. And to pay attention before that THIRD GRADE BOY IN FULL FOOTBALL GEAR GETS THEM!!! Okay... I was losing my voice. My assistant coach had to take over because a coach croaking like a frog on the sidelines trying to yell for the girls to "DO IT AGAIN!!!" doesn't sound...right.
But the girls did well. It was so nice that my brother-in-law and his wife came out to watch! Thanks you guys!
And I think the girls on the squad were extremely happy that I couldn't yell at them to do it again...and again...and again...and...
