#coaching again

Even though she was nervous about doing this again (the last time she coached, the end results led to her feeling like a disappointment to her team), she was determined to push those nerves aside and give them her best.  That being said, she was glad when, as usual, Ariel was the one to speak up first when they were finally in front of their team.  She was glad that they were on a team together this year, instead of facing off.  Luda she didn’t really know that well, but she was thankful for her being there as well.  She hoped they’d get to know each other better in the future as well.

When she was finally prompted to speak, she gave their team a genuine smile.  “Hello, I’m Jo Haseul, main vocalist of Eclipse.  I’ve been on the MGAs as both a contestant in season one and a coach in season three, so I know how exciting and stressful that this time can be,” she said, a little laughter escaping with her words.  She’s not used to giving speeches like this.  “I just want you to know that as a team, we’re here to support you in any way you might need it and you should all be proud.  Not just because of how far you’ve made it, but for even trying in the first place.  A lot of people don’t understand how hard it is to put yourself out there. I’m... not the most outgoing person, as I’m sure Ariel would be able to confirm, so I know how difficult it can be.  So be proud that you took that first step towards reaching your dreams and keep working hard, because it seems to be working!”  With that, she gives a slightly embarrassed bow of her head, stepping back, slightly hiding behind Ariel’s arm, but she is still smiling.

Actually getting into the flow of the team getting ready for their performance was interesting.  The flow of ideas and the teamwork was fun to watch and she could see just how quickly the others seemed to fit in together as a team.  She thought that they had done a pretty great job with their selections.
