When we started this journey I don't think any of us knew what we were in store for. A season of ups and downs, frustration and goofing off, and lots of tears and laughter. You started off as strangers and it was our mission to make you one whole unit. Multiple personalities blending together to form a perfect harmony. I would say that we achieved that. We watched each of you grow more into the most spirited, beautiful and incredible girls.

You may have gotten frustrated with us at times. You may have loved us at others. But one thing is for sure, we did everything we could for the benefit of you and the team. It's not easy feeling like we hold the key to your dreams. You are told by us to leave everything out there on that mat. However it's our job to do the same for you. Put our all into you and your routine so we can give you the best chance possible to succeed.

We push, you pull and that's how our family begins. As coaches we watch you, each of you. We know your strengths, we know your weaknesses and we know where to put you so you can shine like the thousand degree stars that each of you are. When you don't think you can do it, we remind you that you can. It's not said because it's supposed to be. It's said because we without a shadow of a doubt know your potential even when you can't see it yourself. We have to be hard on you at times for you to realize all the amazing things you can accomplish. (and have accomplished) If you don't try, you will NEVER know.

Through these past months even when you couldn't stand us, know that we loved you. Know that we have and always will believe in you. Your army that will forever have your back. The ones to pick you up when you fall and who will wipe away your tears as we cry with you. P.S we hate seeing those hearts of yours break. We are in this together. We hate seeing disappointment in your eyes. If you saw yourselves through our eyes your view would be totally different. That self doubt, those insecurities. You'd see that we have nothing but pride watching you, even if you don't have it yourself.

You have two minutes and thirty seconds to show the world all that we already see in you. Let that brightness shine through. Realize we are right in front of you through thick and thin no matter what the outcome is. Just do us a favor. Let go of the what ifs, put your trust in team and fight for what is rightfully yours. Not for us, not for your parents, you fight for you.

With love,

Your biggest fans.
