Ten Dos to Success

• Ten things parents can do to help their female
  athlete succeed
• 1. Let this experience belong to your
  daughter. We had our moments. This belongs to the
  girls.
• 2. Be a positive role model. It rubs off.
  Motivate and encourage your daughter. Show her
  you respect those involved and communicate any
  concerns in a respectful and dignified manner.
• 3. Be realistic. We were all given certain
  abilities. Accept your daughter as she is. Accept
  her talents and use them. Make the best of every
  situation and use it as a learning experience.
  Accept her role on the team.
• 4. Support the coaching staff. If you do so
  will your daughter. The coach represents
  authority support the coachs rules,
  philosophies, decisions, and so on.
• 5. Be supportive of other athletes. Treat each
  player as if he were your daughter.

6

• 6. Trust the coaches wisdom and insight.
  Coaches work with athletes 12 months of the year.
  They spend many hours with these girls in
  situations that parents may never see. In some
  cases, coaches know more about the athlete than
  the parents do. Dont exert pressure on your
  daughter by telling him things she shouldnt have
  to hear. Be a good role model. Let the coaches
  coach.
• 7. Be an active parent. Monitor your daughters
  grades. Insist that your daughter study and earn
  good grades. If you put academics first, your
  daughter will be more successful.
• 8. Support your daughters social activities.
  Monitor her friends, hangouts, boyfriends,
  curfew, language, rules, and so on. Talk to your
  daughter about drugs, alcohol, and tobacco use.
  Encourage your daughter to make the right
  choices. If you dont communicate well in these
  areas, the wrong people may influence your little
  girl.
• 9. Be selfless. Use Pom Cheer for the right
  reasons. Encourage your daughter to work hard and
  have fun.
• 10. Challenge your daughter. Teach and encourage
  personal responsibility. Its a tough world out
  there. Let her begin preparing for it with
  inexpensive mistakes. Let the coaches push your
  daughter. Let the coaches make her tougher
  mentally and physically by challenging her.
  Lessons taught in Pom Cheer go beyond the mats.
