So I seriously need to brag on my kids. I swear, the gym is MAGIC these days!
RED: Love the stunt sequence changes more and more each week. And I'm so glad we turned the pmid. It makes is 100 times better.
SILVER: Great job re-doing the opening. Baskets look incredible! And stunts...Love them!
BLACK: So glad we're going on your routine. I can't wait to get all the pieces put together!
TUMBLING: WOW, BIG improvements here! LOVE my tumbling classes. You guys are SO good. The number of kickovers is amazing. They're off mats right now, but I am sure that we will be putting them on the floor soon.
Then, let's see: Ivy and Simone throwing awesome tucks. Elise fixing that RO BHS BT. Lindsay...knew you could do it, GIRL! And Gabe...seriously.
I'm just a little bit excited.

STATE
Once again, I'm sitting here days after the fact. And honestly, I'm still at a loss for words.
Twinks, you guys were amazing. Every time you get out on that floor, I get a little misty-eyed. I love seeing my girls line up, looking into their little toothless smiles, and seeing 10 years into the future. They are performers! Simply fantastic routine.
Lights, you guys really cleaned up your routine. I'm so proud that you took every criticism directly to heart, and made such an awesome improvement. Big things are going to come from this team. Mark my words.
Shining Stars, I know things didn't go our way. I'm confused too. We'll get em at Nationals, though. I love that now, you guys will be 100 percent hungry to make it perfect. This is a National Championship team. I know it.
Shooting Stars, rougher day for you guys too....but you got your bid. We reached out goal, now let's get real hungry too. You can do it.
RED, you guys had me freaked. I'm not even gonna lie (TM-Hodges). I went over to the parent section when we were getting you guys seated and read them the riot act to make sure they were screaming...because with a bad warm-up like we had, I thought you might need it. No way. Such the Cinderella story from this team. From a DQ in the fall to the HIGHEST SCORE EVER in level 5...AGAIN. 134. Stay hungry and hit this routine one more time, ladies. You've won all the battles, now win the war.
SILVER, a verse from one of my favorite songs keeps popping into my head.
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
Silver lining? Check. Now THIS is the team I knew was there. Way to hit when it counts. One more time babies. One. More. Time.
BLACK, the depth on this team never stops amazing me. Props to Haileigh, Demi, Fawn, Hodges and Shanell. Having to step into an incredibly difficult stunt sequence with 2 weeks notice? Incredible. Can't wait to start our nationals routine.
Which reminds me...its now officially Nationals season.
Sigh.
I will stress. I will cry. I will think of every single worst case scenario and brainstorm for hours about how to coach you if the worst happens.
But I will love it.
Because like Black's music said, the rush is worth the price I pay.
And the fact that I get to take this journey with some of the most amazing ladies ever makes me incredibly exited and proud.
Love you all.

The home stretch
Well, we're in the home stretch to regionals. Wow. Everyone is looking fantastic, and I gotta say, I can't WAIT!
Last night's team practices were awesome across the board.
RED...like I said, last night, I simply cannot wait to warm you up and regionals. That whole practice area is going to stop in their tracks. Simply perfection. You guys have come a long ways. Kamaryn...SO PROUD of you last night, girl. Way to go for that BHS. It was perfect.
SILVER...Don't you love that transition? Good work last night. We're getting close to having the routine finished. Keep it up.
BLACK...first, JESSICA!!! So proud of you! Don't doubt yourself. Your tucks were beautiful! Stunts were...uh...interesting. Heaven's group, amazing saves. You guys are beasts. And I'm loving the jump part. Good job!

Updates!
Man, so lots going on in the gym the last couple weeks! I'm still trying to catch up from being out of town, but you guys are doing awesome!!!
TWINKS: Remember to practice your cheer words! You guys are doing awesome...even nailing formation changes. Wahooo!
LIGHTS: LOVE this routine. The rap part is so my favorite! Yay!
SHINING STARS: Perfection. I was stressed two weeks ago, but you guys really made up a lot of ground this week.
SHOOTING STARS: I'm not going to say it out loud to jinx us, but you know, D4 is the only division we haven't won a title in. I'm just sayin. Love the new stunt. When your parents are jumping through the door, we know we're on.
RED: The transformation that has taken place in the last two weeks has been AMAZING. You guys are looking consistent. Practice that dance part. We're so close, ladies.
SILVER: Pmid is INSANE. Just INSANE. Great work on that tonight.
BLACK. 3 for 3. Pmid that is out of control. I like this!

Somebunny had some GREAT practices.
Listen, I do not know what happened to my teams today. Maybe it was losing that precious hour of sleep. Maybe you all ate your wheaties. I don't know. But most importantly, I have to say...FIGURE IT OUT AND DO IT AGAIN.
Practices tonight were off the charts with all 3 teams.
RED, last week was such a struggle with that stunt sequence. I had to laugh when Pete walked back in the gym and said "What did you do" in amazement when every group was hitting perfectly. Of course, I did NOTHING. You guys just came to work it out and nailed those stunts every time. And the pmid? Wow, its powerful. Glad we got our timing issues down.
I have got to say, I was most proud that you guys can hit both of those things, in a semi-full out routine. That is amazing for March. We'll be running and running that next week and going full out with tumbling and baskets. Be ready. Oh, and practice that jump/cheer choreo!
SILVER, it was so nice to see stunt seq to music. and even nicer to see all three groups hit when you were put on the spot. Pmid is really coming along. Good work. And have I told you how much I love your dance part? Yeah, I do.
BLACK, never a dull moment when bunny costumes are involved ;). But seriously, the fact that of the three groups, we only missed one Nationals stunt seq out of 10? And its March? Yes please. Big congrats to Shanell. Who's next???

Simply Amazing!
I gotta say, teams were amazing today. And I SO needed that. I was dead tired from a whirlwind one day trip to Knoxville. The energy in the gym tonight was amazing.
RED...jump part...CHECK. Remember our deal for next week. The opening is looking so much cleaner. And the energy you're putting into transitions now...WOW.
SILVER...it was certainly a pmid day. LOVE your new pmid. It really is looking great. I'm so proud of how well you are all doing with that. And the new dance part? Fantastic.
BLACK...such a big night for you guys tonight. Wasn't it nice not having to do those line returns??? Big props to Shanell. What an awesome surprise! Stunts? Well when our alumni see them and ask "are you kidding me?" followed by "what, there is more?" we know we're on the right track.
And to all our alums who were at practice tonight: It is so good seeing you. I love you and miss you all.

Our first Coach's Corner Blog Post!
To enable easier posting, I've decided to switch my coach's corner over to a blog. D5 and D6 kids, we'll still have some practice wrap ups in your Members Only section, so check there too!
We'll start with Red, Silver and Black practices from this Sunday. Red, I am so impressed, this routine is really coming along. I'm so proud of how hard you are working to get this right. Opening and stunt seq are both looking AMAZING. I'm thinking we're going to put in our jump section this week. Then we'll only have dance left to do. WOW...I don't think I've EVER had a routine done in MARCH!
Silver, stunt sequence is looking fantastic. I can't wait until everyone gets healed up and we can really get all of those up in the air. And good pmid work too.
Black, it was a tumbling night. We are SO close to meeting our tuck goals. Keep working for them. I know we can do it!
Then, onto last night:
Twinkles, that routine is seriously coming along! Way to go. That's some hard floor work you are doing and you're pulling it off!
Also, wanted to give a couple shoutouts to my tumbling classes. My D1 class is rockin! We have a couple kids on there who almost have backbends from standing on their own. YAY! And the D2/D3 class, we are seriously close to some kickovers. Do your homework and I know you'll get there!
