Blog 11: Mentorship 10 hours check

1. I am doing my mentorship hours at Starlite All-Stars Cheer and Dance Company in the city of Industry.
2. My contact is Grace Contreras, owner of the gym.
3. I have a total of 45 hours, with more to come as the season goes on. I will make more of a dedication to go, I missed 4 weeks due to work and other engagements with school.
4. The last 10 hours of service I did, I helped the girls clean up their motions, choreographed a dance for the boys on our team, I helped a stunt group learn and understand how to do a show and go, and I helped a girl on team black make progress in her back-handspring. I learned from my coaches that you have to be stern with the athletes to get things through their head, but you also have to be compassionate, supportive and relentless. Effective coaches never give up on their athletes, they possess an undying love for each and every one of them, as well as a huge amount of trust for them. These traits make an effective team atmosphere and a potentially successful outcome.
