A letter for coaches to send to dancers.......

AS WE GO INTO THE COMPETITIVE SEASON PLEASE REMEMBER THIS.....
WE ARE NOT JUST COMPETING AGAINST OTHER TEAMS. WE ARE COMPETING AGAINST OURSELVES. TO IMPROVE ON HOW WE DID LAST WEEK, YESTERDAY, AND EVEN THIS MORNING. THE ULTIMATE COMPETITION LIES WITHIN OURSELVES. TO CONSTANTLY BE STRIVING TO DO IT BETTER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. WE CAN NOT RIDE ON THE ACCOLADES OF THE DANCE TEAMS THAT CAME BEFORE US. WE NEED TO LAY NEW GROUND. MAKE OUR OWN PATH. SET NEW RECORDS. EARN OUR OWN GLORY. THAT WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY WAY YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE "HIGH" I HAVE TALKED ABOUT. YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! NO ONE CAN DO IT FOR YOU. THE ____________TEAM NEEDS TO BLAZE IT'S OWN TRAIL. WE CAN DO IT WITH TEAM WORK!
With pride......
Your Coach
