Another note from yesterday's comp.. Kind of disturbed me.
A mom from Palm Beach Lightning had a daughter crying because they didn't win. My daughter and me were walking by and she loudly says look at her..look at those new NCA jackets they are ugly, see her jacket is so ugly and cheap be glad you didn't win.

THIS. This is what kills me about the youth and parents today. So many parents do not know how to teach their child to lose gracefully, they don't know how to teach their child it is OK to lose.
They need to understand and take the lesson from losing; even when you do your best, sometimes, just sometimes that's not enough, it's a learning experience, it gives you motivation to work harder. When parents don't do this, don't teach children to learn from losing, or lose gracefully, that's when children start to feel entitled and start acting like selfish brats (that is seen too often in ALL sports today, not just cheer)
So sorry you and your daughter had to witness this, I hope your daughter is truly able to enjoy her win and her jacket!
