As of yesterday, we've had 6 cheerleading coaches in 5 years at Connally High School. It can't be that difficult to find someone willing to stay for at the very least two years! And most of the time these "coaches" aren't exactly up to par with the other coaches in the area. We've had a drill team coach (this year), a drill sargeant, a pushover whose DAUGHTER was a cheerleader before but never a true, give-it-their all, work us till we drop..err um FULL DOWN... COACH. I think our current sponser quitting is truly a blessing in disguise. Yes, she is nice and sweet and easy to talk to blah blah...but she will never push us to where we need to be. Eugenia and I went to talk to Mr.Garcia (our awesome principal) today about our new coach. He listened and even agreed to include us (the seniors) in the interview process. I can't wait for summer to get started, to get the squad in shape, and to start competing :)
