Essay On Ms. Traska

362 Words2 Pages

Throughout my Life and high school career I have spent many hours with teachers and coaches. I have had many experiences, but the one that stands out most to me is my former cheerleading coach and gym teacher, Ms. Traska. She coached our team with no background in cheerleading. She brought us closer as a team and being part of this team has made a difference in my life. The two years that Ms. Traska coached were the most fun, productive, and memorable years that I have been on the team. When we Cheered the entire team but everything we had into in. There were moments when we were tired and worked too hard, but there were never moments when we didn't have fun. There is never a moment when I don't miss the fun we all had riding the bus to away games, helping each other get ready, and or course cheering our hearts out. …show more content…

We stunted at almost every game, and cheered at every game all season. Without Ms. Traska pushing us to be the best we could we wouldn't have done as much. People were always impressed when they saw us perform. We practiced everyday and never gave up. This experience taught me that even when something gets tough, I can overcome it.
Cheerleading is one of, if not the best memory I have from high school. Ms. Traska made all of us not only think about cheerleading but also made us think about each other. I don't think that I would be as close to my cheerleading girls as I am without her as a coach. She kept as organized and helped make us all have our own responsibilities on the team. All of this is what I find so memorable about those 4 cheerleading seasons.
I can honestly say I miss having Ms. Traska as a coach. On her team we had fun, we were productive, and we made memories. My Cheerleading experience has truly made me a better person. I will take all of the things that Ms. Traska taught me with me on my college

    She is getting a little unorthodox in her cheerleading, though She goes over to the opposing team's side and does a welcome cheer to them. She cheers whenever anyone scores a basket, not just her team. She extends her cheering off the basketball court and into the regular day-to-day life of Mica High. For example, if she sees a random person do something good in the hall, like pick up a piece of garbage off the floor and throw it away, she'll put on a big show of cheering for him or her. You may expect people to die of embarrassment when she does this, but Leo assures us that they don't because she is giving them honest credit for doing good things.

    Some of the fundamental qualities required to be a successful cheerleader counter the stereotypes constantly perpetuated in media. The mean-girl stereotype does not exactly fit this narrative of them working hard and supporting athletes to performing complexed stunting and tumbling, and the memorization of chants and routines. It is unfortunate that the majority of cheer-related representation does not reflect reality, and paints the athletes in an unfavorable light, because the millions of girls who cheer are unable to identify with positive role models or even multi-dimensional people. I feel that film and television should try to depict these characters in a more positive light. These characters should be more dynamic and we shouldn't generalize

This coach went above and beyond this coaching role to make sure his athletes had the less stress possible and if he had to him would take on their stress also. Back stage he would be the one to calm everyone down and keep the team level headed and ready to perform. This experience has showed how far a leader should be willing to go for the people that need them the most, the leader should never show how unsure or nervous they are on the inside as his or she has people counting on them to be that clear mind to lean on. I now understand and am grateful I had the opportunity to follow under that coach as I am now a better person and hold better leadership values because of
