Descriptor Deception (and other parental feedback)

The word from the GOTR parents is they got a good giggle from the girls' descriptors...and a couple of them may not be accurate, huh? We don't have quiet girls? We don't have monkey-like daughters? LOL... Well, that ok because it was all a part of the game!

Those that responded to the email status reported that the girls had a great time. We were told things like "She (Shannon) loved it" and "She (Erin) had a blast." That's great feedback, and makes us coaches beam. When girls love this program, we know we are headed in the right direction to make a difference in their lives. Continue sending those comments; it's always good to know where we stand and what the girls liked and didn't!

Speaking of likes ... Julia (the jumper!) unknowingly create a new group cheer for us. At GOTR, we have what we call energy cheers. These crazy quick clips are expressions of our joy and help us celebrate our accomplishments. In the past we have done silly things like the "Superstar" or the "Shopping Cart". We have even done the crazy "Sprinkler" cheer. But little Julia gave us the best facial expression when Coach Tanya said "I like pasta" during our warm up game on Tuesday. Coach Bill buckled over with laughter, and before we knew it, "PASTA!" was adopted as our new energy cheer! We know, We know. It's silly and nonsensical...but it sure is fun to express ourselves in ways that make us happy!

We recommend that when work gets old and boring for you, just throw your hands up in the air and yell "PASTA!" Your co-workers won't know what hit them!
