So, I suppose this COULD hypothetically go in Allstar, but I figured since in a roundabout way it doesn't EXACTLY have to do with cheer, I'd put it here.
Scenario:
Let's assume, hypothetically, that allstar cheer could put you in the running for a college scholarship for the sport. And that college coaches traveled to big nationals to check out possible athletes for the upcoming year. Would you rather:
A) Stay on a team with a so-so coach who isn't REALLY helping you improve. If the team itself is similar to last years, it's a good team and you'll probably win a lot. However, YOU personally will not improve much, if at all. You're not that fond of the coach, and you already have him as your school team's coach so you're not sure you want to have him twice. BUT if you win a lot and go to Nationals, there's a chance coaches from colleges will see you play..
B) There's another team with a coach you love who will DEFINITELY help you improve. You're not sure WHO is on this team this year, but there's a chance they're not as good as your previous team (which is team A above). Although you don't know how good they'll be for sure as tryouts aren't solidified and people aren't sure WHAT program they're going for yet. For all you know, they'll be BETTER than last year, yet they could stay the same.
Which would you choose? It's for my brother and it's volleyball lol. But pretend it's you and cheer. PERSONALLY- my mother and I are BEGGING him to take choice B. He always whines about the coach from A, but then he backtracks. My point is to get him to do what's best for HIM and HIS needs, but he's just really unsure. For the record, he got a notice from a coach who wants him to consider his college (Emmanuel College) after seeing him play with Team A at nationals. While it ain't Penn State, if he wants to play college ball he's gonna need scholarships..
Thanks
