"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the last minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the Will must be stronger than the skill." Muhammad Ali In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best. Althea Gibson Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the ‘me’ for the ‘we.’ Phil Jackson When you're are playing for the national championship, it's not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that. Duffy Daugherty If you aren't going all the way, why go at all? Joe Namath It isn't hard to be good from time to time in sports. What's tough is being good every day. Willie Mays The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do. Dennis Waitley "A coach is someone who always makes you do what you don't want to do, so you can be who you've always wanted to be." Unknown "A good coach will make their players see what they can be rather than what they are." Ara Parasheghian As the day of our competition nears, remember the smiles, forget the tears. Remember the times we've spent together, cherish them now, cherish them forever. Next year it will not be the same, some girls lost, some girls gained. Doing the routine one more time, to fix that motion and straighten that line. We've had many falls and lots of tough breaks, we took our chances but knew what was at stake. We are all exhausted and ready to rest, but first we must show the world who is best. Regardless of what the judges critize, remember they weren't there to realize, We sweated, we ached, and we worked all the while, and hide all the pain with a convincing smile. So show them now what we have worked for, give a little extra where there needs to be more. Smile and know that we have finished the race, regardless of what we win or place. The time has come once again, to show what we can do, to work as a team, not just one or two. Together we can do anything our hearts desire, You know we have done it even though we are tired. So let's look to one another for comfort and cheer, lets'lean on each other as we cry our tears. Because together we have a goal that we have all set, and that's to be the best team the judges have seen yet. So let's go out on that floor as winning team, let's do what we do best and make the crowd scream. Because together WE CAN DO IT. TOGETHER WE CAN TOGETHER WE CAN BE THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND. The Competitor's Creed The contest lasts for moments though the training's taken years. It wasn't the winning alone, that was worth the work and tears. The applause will be forgotten, the prize misplaced. But the long, hard hours of practice, will never be a waste! For in trying to win you build a skill; You never grow by how much you win, You only grow by how much you put in. So in any new challenge you've just begun, Put forth your best and you've already won! My Comfort Zone I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail. The same four walls and busy work were really like a jail. I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before, But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor. I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much. I said I didn't care for things like backhandsprings and such. I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone, But deep inside I longed for something special of my own. I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win. I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before, I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door. If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out, Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true. Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you! The difference between Winning and Losing: Winning: Hanging on, perservering, Losing: Letting go, giving up easily, Winning: Accepting responsibility for your actions, Losing: Always having an excuse for your actions, Winning: Taking the initiative, Losing: Wishing for things, but taking no action, Winning: Seeing the big picture, and setting goals accordingly, Losing: Seeing only where you are today As they stand in front of the world There stomaches balled up and curled. They waited all year for this day And thrown many oppportunities away. They had a chance to do many other things, But all they wanted was some wings. Cheerleading was there sport, And all other ones just fell short. The music turns on blasting But there fear is everlasting. They go to flip, fly, and soar, They need the winning score. As the end of the routine is near, The fear just suddenly dissapears. The music stops with a boom, the others teams have reached their doom. They're done and they watch and they wait, To finally ascertain their fate. The score is up and the results are in, Only one team can win. All the other teams sit and cry, but our teams faces were dry. The winner has been announced,' Our TEAM had won pronounced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Winning isn't an option... it's a tradition." The vision of a champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion when no one else is watching." Anson Dorrance "Don't get mad, get better." Cindy Bristow "Sports do not build character. They reveal it." John Wooden "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 "A successful team beats with one heart." Sarah Redmond "Excellence is not a singular act but a habit. You are what you do repeatedly." Shaquille O'Neal "The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle." Unknown "There is no glory in practice, but without practice there is no glory." Unknown We've been bruised, scratched, and kicked But we're never broken We've been sore, tired, and annoyed But Never will we fall Through these things we have taught each other courage, love, and wisdom When times are tough, we are strong When stunts fall, we try harder When someone's down, we give them a smile If we stick together we'll make it through Nothing will tear us apart So when doubt puts us to the test Remember 3 words LAKE IS BEST! "If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again" Aaliyah TEAM--Together Everyone Achieves More Seven days without cheerleading practice makes one WEAK. "I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down. " Mia Hamm "To give less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Steve Prefontaine "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." Robert F. Kennedy "The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves." Unknown "A ship in the harbor is safe. But that's not what ships are built for." Unknown "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." John Wooden "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." Vince Lombardi "You have no control over what the other [team] does. You only have control over what you do. " A J Kitt Victory belongs to the most persevering. Napoleon Bonaparte There are no gains without pains. Adlai Stevenson To win without risk is to triumph without glory. Corneille You are never a loser until you quit trying. Mike Ditka "Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. George Halas "You can become a winner only if you are willing to walk over the edge. Damon Runyon "If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat. Herschel Walker  |
