# What Can **ACE** Do For Your Child? # Ask an ACE ParentMy daughter has learned hard work and perseverance. It means showing up at practice, and sometimes, practicing a skill over and over, knowing it will translate into a new or perfected skill. The individual skills are then choreographed into a team performance. Sometimes those performances lead to national championships, even a world championship. She knows what it takes to persevere and improve and never give up.

She has learned teamwork. Being on a team, she has learned to be disciplined during practice and how to have patience when the going gets tough. Building on a strong team work ethic, each member of the team is valued, translating to courage and confidence. She has learned respect. Dedicated and skilled coaches can have an amazing impact on children. Athletes learn to respect and honor their coach and coach’s decisions. I can say, without reservation, all of her ACE coaches have been excellent mentors.She has learned discipline and organization. She has learned to balance school work and athletics, fostering a strong work ethic, even through the tough academic years of high school. She learned early on to organize her homework schedule so that she could be at practices and competitions.She has learned about true friendship. Kids come from all over our region to participate at ACE. They are from different schools and different backgrounds. This has led to genuine friendships. Traveling to competitions also provides unique bonding experiences. She loves her teammates and they will always share a lifelong bond. She has learned about pride. ACE is respected as one of the best all-star cheerleading companies in the nation. When we travel to competitions, the kids (and parents!) wear their ACE gear with such pride. ACE teams are taught and encouraged to always be classy and respectful. As a parent, it’s great to see your child discover and pursue a sport they love. It’s even more gratifying to know they’ve experienced that sport and their passion through a first-class organization. We will forever be grateful to the entire ACE family for this experience. My mantra is, and always will be, it’s so much more than cheerleading… ***Kendra, Proud ACE Mom***
