Try Outs

It's amazing what 20 years of life experience does for your self confidence. Judging cheerleading tonight was a step back in time. Girls so nervous they barely know their name much less 2 cheers and a dance. It's painful to watch at times and entertaining at others. My advice... # 1 Smile, no matter what smile. #2 Get it right the first time. # 3 Act excited about everything whether you nailed it or you know you have royally screwed up. They might give you credit for your attitude. #4 You should look like you want to win. All the time not just when your "on". Not that difficult. The sponsors gave us Panera for our efforts so the pickle, potato chips and chocolate chip cookie made up for all the discomfort of really wanting the nice, sweet looking girls to be good too. Unfortunately they usually just weren't. Darn it.
