The First Week of Practice

So I finally made the team and it felt great. The tryout process was hard and nerveracking but it all paid off in the end. Now it was time for the first week of practices.The practices were hard and i was trying things that i had never done before.The different things the coaches gave us to do were new and challenging. I enjoyed it alot because it made me work even harder.The coaches gaves us tons of new stunts to try that i had never done before.After the first week of practices my whole body was sore. I could barely walk up the stairs. After the first week I really felt like are team was starting to come together and gell as a team. The returning girls to the squad were really nice and welcomed all of us new girls to the squad.I was really starting to feel apart of the team.

Second Day of Tryouts

The second day of tryouts was a little bit more nerve racking because it was the day we actually tried out for the team.The coaches set us up in groups of three that we would try out in. Before we actually tried out we practiced what we learned the first day of tryouts. I felt good about trying out because i knew the moves and I was confident and ready. I was still very nervous though because previous times when i tried out for squads in high school, i got nervous during tryouts and i messed up. I knew that I couldnt let that happen this time around if I wanted to make the team. Finally it was time for me to tryout; I did a great job and the best thing about it was I didnt mess up. After trying out we all had to wait in the gym for the coaches to give us our results. The coaches began calling girls in to tell them their results some made the team and some didnt. I was one of the last to be called in to get my results. They told me I made it I was so excited it was a great experience I will always remember. Now I was ready for the first day of practice!
