When I first visited 'Chalk Bucket' my DD was working through fear. She had lost her BHS on Beam (even though she had the skill for almost 2 years)
One thing that really helped for me was this site, and for her was to watch the Video 'Do You Remember When' which I found on this site.
Watching it for the first time made me cry, then DD watched of course she cried...
She proceeded to show her team mates.. I showed the teammates Mom's... All cried.
After leaving a meet a couple months ago where DD didnt feel like she did her best we were in the car and all of a sudden she is crying and texting. I look over and ask why she is crying.. She says.. this is the song from 'Do You Remember When'. She was sending texts to all her teammates telling them to turn the radio to that station.
Now the song 'Bleeding Love' is played on the radio, a lot. Every time it comes on.. you see the whole optional team stop.. look at each other.. Then wipe a few tears away. If they are not at practice, they text each other!
I think it is really neat that one video, one song, can produce so much emotion and bring a team together!
