Well i've said it before but it needs to be repeated. I love this squad! I will miss all my seniors. Even though you had some rough patches, you all are getting along now. Wish it wouldv'e happened earlier but oh well. At least our end of the year trip will be more fun with you people getting along. Juniors, i would like you to keep in mind how this year went. Try not to break each other down in the beginning. Try to unite your squad right from the start. It will prove to be helpful all through out the year. And i might add starts right now. The squad will only be as good as the seniors want it to be. I can only do so much. It's the attitude that the seniors and returners have that teach the newbies right away how they should act on the squad. How they are expected to work hard, have commitment and dedication to each other and the coach. You will see if you unite how much easier your year will be. Pretty soon we will be inviting some fresh faces to our squad which we will all make all the effort to make them feel like a welcomed new addition. Even though they will be newbies, they should never feel left out. I hope that the returners will organize something to do as a bonding experience. I'm looking forward to next year and at the same time will be mourning the exit of the seniors. They really did an amazing job this year! All the little things were taken care of. They thought of everything and made sure everything was done. As well as taking care of the coach. I can't tell them how much i appreciate them. Such hard working dedicated young women. I see all of them as huge success stories. I wish them all the best in their endeavors. Now it's on to the 09-10 squad! Let's make it a great one too! Love to all, Coach Christie
