By-Laws: BYLAWS AMENDMENTS I, II, and III WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WIN? W.I.N? Stands for What’s Important Now? The answer is adopting the mission statement “win generously, lose graciously, and develop character constantly.” That is what is important now and at every competition. Winning generously simply means that you coach your squad to always do its best in any competition, respect and learn from your competitors, and appreciate every performance remembering that every athlete is doing the best she can at the moment – in other words, every winner was once a beginner. Losing graciously means congratulating your opponent for providing a competition that gave you an insight into areas that need improvement. A loss to an impressive opponent can still be chalked up in the win category if your squad achieved a personal best or simply demonstrated a higher level of performance. Developing character constantly is demonstrated by not giving up, by overcoming obstacles, and keeping a good attitude whether your squad wins or loses. Your athletes will look to you for clues on how to respond. A quote from Ken Blanchard and Don Shula in the Little Book of Coaching, says it all, “Victory if possible, integrity at all costs.” - Rik Feeney, Cheer Coach and Advisor Magazine, November 2006 |
