This past Saturday, our Youth and Junior Belles were having a hoo-hum practice. Spring fever? Actual fever? Fear? Ambivalence? I wasn't sure and my patience level was waning quickly. So we sat the girls down and explained our purpose as coaches - to help them accomplish something difficult through practice and preparation. Simple. I then asked the girls to shout out a list of 5 things that describes The Belles, they came up with the following, much longer list. If I didn't know before, I do know now - they are BRILLIANT young ladies.
Belles Are:
- Respectful
- Strong physically and in spirit
- Kind
- Hard workers at home and at practice
- Courageous
- Obedient
- Good examples
- Make good choices (smart)
- Modest
- Leaders
- Friends
- Fun
Well, out of the mouths of babes our vision is established... I just love this thing called coaching!
