My Kids Are So Great

So we went to team lab last night. Every Thursday night we have practice as a team. This week, the first thing that we did was to fill out what we call a Ballot Review form. Each student who competeted at a tournament this weekend takes his or her ballots, and reads them. Then, they fill out a form where they answer the following questions:

1) What things did I do well this weekend that I would like to continue doing?
2) The most helpful coaching events I got this weekend was:
3) The most unhelpful coaching advice I got this weekend was:
4) Things I would like to improve upon before the next tournament are:
5) Things on my ballots that are repeated by multiple judges and that I should work on are:
6) Things I would like to learn before the next tournament:
7) The coach or coaches I would like to meet with before the next tournament is [are]:

Those are the basic questions on the sheet. We take up the sheet and use it to construct and adapt our coaching paradigms for each student in order to help them suceede. I'm so excited because my kids all put how much they love me and how helpful I am...etc. One of my kids even put little hearts on my name! I'm so special.

One of my kids threatened to start me a fan club on facebook. Interesting...although flattering.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO RECIEVE CONFIRMATION, COOPERATION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, ADULATION. YOU DESERVE IT!
