Out of my little box

Ok, as most of you all know I was what all my friends called a "band nerd". I actually don't think that is all that bad of a term since I really enjoyed being in band. I wouldn't take back all of those 9-9 practices on Saturdays for anything....well maybe for somethings. Since I have started working at Etowah High School I have left my comfort zone and entered into a new world of CHEERLEADING!! When I got the job I told everyone that I was going to be coaching cheerleading most everyone's response was laughter. Well here I am at the end of the football season. My perspective of cheerleaders has changed some. I am amazed at what they can do and how strong they are. Some cheerleaders definitley allow the stereotype to live on and others love the sport. (yes in the state of Georgia, cheerleading is considered a sport) come watch these girls tumble and do flips in a liberty(a new word in my vocabulary) and you will see how they call it a sport.
