So despite having one totally green coach (Your's Truly) and one last minute swapped in coach because the previous head coach had to have surgery, the team did GREAT!
I'm so proud of my little gals.
They went out there and concentrated and did their best, and incidently that got us into the finals and a very respectable Fourth Place! I'm so proud of them!
I think the whole time I was more nervous for them then they were, but I tried so hard not to show it. Poor little Mindy came in from running five laps (she totally won) gasping for breath. I told her her take deep breaths and she went *Inhale, inhale, inhale*. Her lips were turning blue until I said, "Out, Mindy, breathe OUT!" I think Jessie slid in for the pin some many times that I had to almost comepletly cover her in BandAids by the end. Ariel's little knees shook so bad the first time she got up to run, that I had to stand as close to her as I was allowed and keep up a stream of chitchat to keep her from falling over before the starting whistle. (She totally won.) Adorable doe-eyed Rachel totally took my instructions of 'crazy eyes' to intimidate the bigger girls in the bean bag grab.
*giggle*
I adore those girls.
