Ugh. I don’t wanna write this. I don’t want to face the fact that my kids are grown and done. These two kids are two of the most stubborn, spoiled, lil shits ever... and I would do anything for them. As a rule, I told myself never to get attached to any kids I coach. Low and behold, these two come along and ruin that for me. The year they became officers, we decided as coaches to try something new. We implemented a mentor program, where each officer had an alumni/coach to learn from and reach out to for anything. Naturally, I was stuck with the only boy officer, and Leia got the baddie. Soon we grew attached to these two and (hopefully) taught them values that crafted them into great leaders and people overall. Although they joined other teams their last year of squad life, I kept a close eye on them and made sure to spoil them every step of the way. They always let me know: “You can’t get rid of us!” 😒😏 They aren’t perfect, but who is? I love them both with all my heart and wish they get everything they want and need in the world. You two deserve so much more than I was able to give you, and I’m sorry for all the missteps along our journey. I can’t wait to see you grow into great adults. Don’t forget I’m only a text, snap, dm, or call away. I will definitely miss seeing you two in action, and am so incredibly proud of how well you performed these past years. You are both so talented and have left such a huge impact on me as a person and a coach. You’ve both created huge shoes to fill for all future members. I hate to have to say goodbye to my favorites, so I won’t; Just a big seeya later. Love you kiddos! 😘 #woody #sandro #bighead #clearandconcise #drillteam #shortflags #allfemale #hiphop #mykids #mentor #mentee #onceanidgalwaysanidg
