My little sister's JV squad had to have a teacher/moderator, a coach, and an assistant coach. Since they were missing the assistant coach, I volunteered to step in since I have a background in dance/choreography & (bonus!) certification as a First Responder just in case of injuries.
I thought my job would be helping them stay in their lines and look sharp during chants and cheers. Now all of a sudden, things are very different. The JV is combining with Varsity so that they can be a competition squad and my little sister, who is a flyer, is getting stepped up into all kinds of new, crazy stunts.
I'm feeling overwhelmed with my new position because I feel SO responsible for everybody being safe and I'm worried sick that little sis is gonna break her neck. Our mom would DIE if she could see practice. I think it'll all be ok but kinda panicking right now and need someone to talk me down.... ha

As you can tell, I'm a worrier. Ive gotten a little better tho cause I've been watching them practice & I see how careful everyone is trying to be. I love my sis's stunt group too cause they will totally break their own necks making sure she doesn't touch the ground. Sis also stays tight when a stunt fails (instead of flailing around like I've seen some girls do) so it makes it easier to bear hug her & she isn't elbowing somebody in the mouth. (In her words, she says "Yeah, I'm a good faller." hahaha)
