How can I become the next Athlete of the Week at Varsity?

 

 

Here at Varsity, an Athlete of the Week is chosen each week. These athletes have certain qualities and a great work ethic that cause them to stand out to coaches in a positive way! 


Here are some tips to follow that can help you be the next Athlete of the Week!

Tip #1: Give 110% in every class.

Doing your warm up and drills to the best of your ability and not just going through the motions shows your coach that your progress is important to you as an athlete. Athletes that have been Athlete of the Week in the past go above and beyond in each of their classes!

Tip #2: Come to class early.

Getting to class early will give you enough time to change, prepare for class, and listen to the important information talked about in Basic Cheer and Dance Knowledge that starts 15 minutes before each class. Being early also shows your commitment to expanding your knowledge about Cheer and Cheer Dance. 

Tip #3: Make sure you are always listening in class and fixing the corrections you are given by your coaches.

By fixing the correction, you are showing your coach that you want to improve your technique and skills. 

Tip #4: Do your homework.

Athlete of the Week in previous weeks have made doing their homework each day part of their daily routine. Whether it's stretching, doing exercises to strengthen their muscles, or practicing a dance they learned, they make sure to set aside some time to do their homework that was given in class. 

Tip #5: Stay positive!

Even if you have had a rough day, walking into practice with a smile on your face can turn your whole day around! Positivity rubs off on other students as well! The coaches really notice and appreciate their athlete's positivity!
