"It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters." Paul "Bear" Bryant

I came across that quote today and it really hit home. We have not had a full team practice since before Indy. I already know we will not have everyone on Wednesday and I am not sure who will show up on Monday and Thursday. We are a team and when even one team member misses a practice the entire team suffers at competition. I want the girls to enjoy cheering at Gymsport but that is not the main reason we are a part of a competitive cheerleading team. And let me tell you, it’s a lot more fun when we are winning. I just want to prepare all of you for the possibility of us coming in last place on Saturday as well as the possibility of us not receiving our bid to nationals. I say this, not because I do not have faith in the girls or in the routine, but simply because I feel we are not as prepared, as a team, as we could and should be. As of now we are against 4 other teams on Saturday.

I need the girls to be at the competition by 11am – please make sure you leave time to park and walk to the venue from the parking lot.
We are scheduled to compete around 12:20 and awards should be over by 2.
If this changes I will let you know, these are only tentative times.

This week’s practice schedule – Monday 6-8, Wednesday 6-8:30, Thursday 6-8:30, Open gym Friday 5-8 (optional but suggested)
