Jersey Auction THIS SUNDAY Sept.16

CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THIS!!!
JERSEY AUCTION-
THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 16
4:30 pm Homecoming Week Soup Supper
6:00 pm Jersey Auction & Coronation

>>First thing I need you all to know about it, is that I won't be there this year. Sorry. We have family coming from California, Kansas, and South Dakota this weekend for my in-law's 50th anniversary. I feel REALLY bad about it, especially since we have so many freshmen this year. But just follow the lead of Shannon Zehner, Jennifer Zehner, Tammy Zehner, Quincy, and Paula Ritterbush Eickholt- they'll get you through it.

>>BASIC JIST- You get on stage and the Schabens auction off your shell to raise money for the Athletic Boosters. We need this because the're gonna help us get new uniforms for next year. Your parents and/or grandparents may bid, but so will local businesses.

>>I won't make it "mandatory," in other words, I won't MAKE you attend, but it will really look bad if only 2 or 3 out of the 10 of you go. SO PLEASE TRY TO MAKE IT IF YOU CAN. However, I understand you don't all have rides, this was short notice since it slipped my mind, your parents may have other previous commitments for you, and after all, I won't be there (although XC and VB coaches often aren't there either).

>>Please try to be there by 5:45 or so. Unless you want to come eat, then by all means, come anytime after 4:15. Please bring your family and guests, this is a great way to support ALL the sports programs at BV (its not just about football, in spite of whatever you've heard). Sit together if you can and introduce each other's families and get to know each other.

>>Not enough old "jerseys"- usually we have them auction off old shells (tops) but since there's 9 (plus a mascot)  of you this year and the 2 alternates are stuck wearing older shells anyway, let's just bring your current uniform top- but IMPORTANT- YOU MUST KNOW WHO PAID FOR YOURS AND RETRIEVE IT FROM THEM BY NEXT THURS 9/20 so that you can wear it next Friday! Got that?

Chelsea Willis, you bring the older mascot head (whichever one you don't use), you'll still need to get it back from your donor, but its not as urgent that you get it by Thursday.

UPDATES & INFO FOR THIS WEEK

>>You all did a FANTASTIC job last Friday night. Thank you!

>>Van Time for Friday's away game in Stanton- 4:00PM
Bring money and we can have supper in either Harlan or Avoca

>>Warm-ups came in. If you're missing some and need them, please bring a $30 returnable deposit and pick yours out.

>>Please be sure to attend practice Thursday to be eligible to go Friday (except of course Zehners at XC)

>>If you can't come Friday, please let me know ASAP so that I can let alternates Jessica &/or Marissa know.

>>This week we've been working on back kneels and back stands. Today we got Kaitlyn up to a prep with an "elevator" instead of stepping up from a thigh stand. Just think if we had 6 or 8 people at practice and not just 4? Always 3:30-4:30 M-Th unless I let you know. No practice on early out Wed.

>>Next week we'll need to work together on the run-thru and the pep-rally; this one's the biggie, it will be Homecoming. I know XC runs the ball from Whiting or Sioux City or wherever, but it would be ideal if we can have Jennifer & Shannon at least one day next week. It might be better if its Monday rather than Thursday- but see what works with Coach Hall.

>>If you can't make it to practice, please let me know. Work, parents, injury, illness- I'm very flexible & understanding. If you just don't want to practice, ask yourself how much you really want to be on squad though. No hard feelings if you don't, but please let me know and please return your gear if that's the case. I don't know if you realize it, but rumors seem to be out there about whether or not some of you are quitting. Its your business and I won't be mad at you but if I never see or hear from you I don't know where you stand, so let me know. Thanks.

>>ALTERNATE POLICY REMINDER

Alternates- The BVCS Cheer Squad may or may not have alternates depending on the talent level at tryouts. All alternates are required to attend all practices and other events with the team. Alternates will only perform in uniform if another squad member is absent (due to Illness, injury, academic eligibility or family function) or if asked by the coach. 
If uniforms are available, the coach may decide to have the best performing alternates perform at home football games and/or pep-rallies during football season, but only full-time squad members will perform at away football games and at all basketball games.
At the coach's discretion, an alternate may be asked to take over a position of a team member if their skill level is higher than the current holder and the current team member is not able to perform their duties as a Cheerleader and is not progressing in their cheerleading abilities. 
Alternates who perform well and attend practices regularly will be given special consideration at tryouts; this may include receiving up to but no more than 10 extra points added to their lowest judges' score or waiver of one of the three faculty recommendation forms.

Pyramid of Success; 2nd Teir

"You must not be afraid to fail. Initiative is having the courage to make decisions and take action. Keep in mind that we all are going to fail at times. This you must know. None of us is perfect. But if you're afraid of failure, you will never do the things you are capable of doing... Never fear failure. It is something to learn from. You have conquered fear when you have initiative." ~Coach John Wooden

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” ~Albert Einstein

“For an athlete to function properly, he must be intent. There has to be a definite purpose and goal if you are to progress. If you are not intent about what you are doing, you aren't able to resist the temptation to do something else that might be more fun at the moment." ~John Wooden

You don't have to be a Vulcan or a robot, emotions can be valid and its certainly healthy to be in touch with your emotions- HOWEVER, emotions can cloud your judgement and lead to mistakes or worse, injury- not to mention hurt others and damage relationships. If you're going to base your actions on what needs to be done and what's best for everyone in stead of reacting or over-reacting to situations, you need to keep your feelings in check.

No practice Wed, Yes Practice Thurs

Wanted to let you know- no practice tomorrow Wed 9/5 due to teacher in-service,

but we WILL practice Thurs because we need to finalize & run through Friday's pep rally (any game ideas?), also review a few cheers (esp. New ones) & stunt some too.

We're Marching- Lyrics

And we're marching...
to the beat...
to the beat...

Let me hear your Bulldog spirit!
>>What's that you say?


Let me hear you scream and shout!
>>What's that you say?


Make the Crusaders cry and pout!
>>What's that you say?

Go Bulldogs, go Bulldogs
GO Bulldogs GO!

Fight Bulldogs, fight Bulldogs
FIGHT Bulldogs FIGHT!


Win Bulldogs, Win Bulldogs
WIN Bulldogs WIN!

Pyramid of Success

Here are the first 5 bricks in legendary UCLA Basketball Coach John Wooden's "Pyramid of Success." If you want to read more about them, visit our Cheer "Wiki" at http://cheerpositive.wikispaces.com/P001+Industriousness
Next week I'll try to post 4 more bricks, then 3 more the week after that, then 2, then one last one.

You can also search for either the pyramid or Coach Wooden on this blog to see things that I've written in past years. I'm also posting these bricks on Pinterest & Facebook- so don't trip over them.

HYDRATE & STRETCH!

Both for the sake of your voices and FOR your muscles, drink non-sugar/caffeine drinks all day every Friday. ALWAYS BRING A WATER BOTTLE TO EVERY GAME. ALWAYS be sure to stretch good, even if you don't expect to jump or stunt. Finally, drink lots of room-temperature or warm non-sugar/caffeine drinks Friday night after games. Hot lemon water is the best (for healing and re-hydrating, not TASTING).

Glidden

 Notice how Katlyn even kept doing the P-U-R-P-L-E cheer in a half-extension prep.

Here are a couple of pictures from last night. Remember, to see more AND to share YOUR pictures with the Yearbook, go to www.RePlayIt.com

See more pictures than I post here.

Sign up for www.replayit.com its fast, fun & free.

Once you do, go to http://www.replayit.com/r/2336900/search/?tags=%22FB+Cheer%22 to see all of our pictures so far this season.

Tell your moms & friends to join too, and then they can share all those cool pictures that they were taking of you at games and maybe we'll use them in the yearbook!

No Practice Tomorrow (WED 8/29)

Sorry about this, but I need to take my daughter Grace to an eye specialist tomorrow and may not be able to make it back by 3:30 for practice.

If Rena were able to come I'd let you still practice but the school insurance will only cover us if I'm present. If it is possible (Shannon, Jennifer & Coach Hall) I'd like to let them go to XC as usual tomorrow but have them join Cheer practice Thursday instead.

So if you can make it, we'll still practice today (TUES) and Thurs, but not Wed.

Sorry for the confusion or inconvenience. Look at it this way, Wed. its supposed to be 100 degrees out!

Thanks for understanding,

Coach

Cheer this week

• Friday's Game is in Glidden, which is about an hour away on HWY 30. If we leave at 5:00pm we could stop for supper in Carroll and still get there by or before 6:30.
• Don't forget- unless I tell you otherwise, always expect to practice 3:30-4:30 Mon-Thurs during FB season. If you can't make it, please try to let me know as soon as you can.
• THIS WEEK- I'd like to work on stunts and mounts. I asked Rena if she could come back to help. Shannon & Jennifer are going to try to come on Wednesday.
• Remember, in HS you really need to keep your grades up to remain eligible. If you need help in English or History/Government I'd be glad to help, but I'm not your man when it comes to higher math. You might want to ask other cheerleaders if they can help you with classes too. And don't forget, Mr. Marlin is setting up a tutoring program, so if you're having a rough time in any class, be sure to ask him about it.

First Game- AUG 24
