LETTER FROM THE OFFICE

////

THE GO TEAM MISSION OF SHOWCASING local youth athletes and competitors broadens as we make additions this month. Be on the lookout for more editorial, more substantial descriptions of the athletes, more in-depth coverage of local events and deeper digging into the stories behind the pictures you’re accustomed to seeing in each issue. With the help of parents, coaches and the athletes themselves, each forthcoming issue will reveal more about our community’s vibrant spirit of competition and athletics through these improvements.

Also be on the lookout for a new member of the Go Team squad. Tori Weaver is joining us as Promotions Coordinator, so when you see her at the game along with our photographer, be sure to say hello.

Tori is an Evansville native studying business and marketing at Ivy Tech. She is eager to promote not only Go Team but its subjects as well: “I’m a people person and marketing is all about your audience,” she says. “I love to be able to promote something for a good cause.

I think this magazine is something special that gives kids the opportunity to shine and be Tori Weaver proud of what they are doing.”

Weaver will be at games and events to help us continue with our goals and, with the help and encouragement of our readers and sponsors, Go Team looks forward to new stories of achievement, spirit and positive competition.

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget that the photos in this magazine are but a fraction of what’s available; every photograph by Go Team over the years in online to view and/or purchase at goteammagazine.com

Coaches Corner STRIVE FOR IMPROVEMENT

Coach Mike Chapman, Bosse Swim Team GT: What is your coaching philosophy?

MC: My personal philosophy is that I want the kids to improve continually. To strive for that continuous improvement and swimming really helps with that, because there is an objective way in telling if you’re improving or not and that’s the clock. I tell the kids not to worry about the end result; control what you can control, drop your time and eventually the wins will come. If you’re dropping your time and working hard, victories will come.

I have always noticed that you always really enjoy yourself when you are coaching, just from seeing you talk to the swimmers in and out of practice it looks like your having a blast…

I think swimmers are some of the most enthusiastic athletes I’ve seen, just from going to these events every week. It’s always the oddest sport, swimming, marching band, etc. that has the most passion.

What is unique about yourself as a coach?

My passion and my enthusiasm, I have never had a day where I didn’t feel like being “on deck” (the deck of the pool) even if I was sick or whatever it was.

How do you measure success?

For us, success is so easy in swimming. If your times are dropping and you’re getting faster every time you swim, you’re being successful. That is the first thing and a real easy way. But more importantly: Are the kids enjoying it?

Do you have any special tips or tricks that would help the swimmers that would be reading this?

We’re kind of in a culture now, where swimmers in particular think just putting in the hours is enough.

But I think it’s really important to make sure when you’re in practice you are engaged and swimming the set the way it’s meant to be swam. Especially in a sport like swimming – that can be kind of redundant, don’t allow yourself to mentally check out and always be thinking about your technique and effort level.

What should be the priorities of a high school athlete?

Number one priority has to be academics, and along that same line with academics is family stuff. Number two has got to be getting to practice and doing what you’re supposed to do, along with the other stuff you have to do as a swimmer or any athlete is take care of your body nutrition wise, and make sure to get enough rest. I really stress along with going to class and eating right, sleep is so important so their body doesn’t wear down and they don’t get sick.

Along with their priorities, if someone did have a personal issue, is that something that as a coach you handle also?

Absolutely.

That is one of the things I enjoy about coaching. Probably more so than the sports side is just being able to be there for kids. I love the little, good things like getting invited to graduation parties. When kids graduate from college or when they come back from college to visit I love that stuff.

I want to be more than just a coach. I joke with the girls all the time that I am not just their swim coach, I’m their life coach. It’s kind of our joke but the girls say that a lot because you kinda want to be there for them. You spend so much time with them you can’t help but be a part of their life.

What is your favorite overall thing about swimming?

I love racing, I love seeing two kids that have worked hard lay it all on the line and seeing what happens.

That is my favorite thing.

//// PRE-GAME TIPS from Coach Mike Chapman 1) STRETCH IT OUT PHOTOGRAPHY MARK MCCOY COURTESY MIKE |CHAPMAN

Make sure to get the shoulders stretched out by doing the arm circles, they are important.

Also concentrate on the legs and side so we don’t cramp up.

2) EAT RIGHT

I ask my players to drink a lot of water and eat pasta or some other carbohydrate so they have plenty of energy.

March - April 2010

3) MENTALLY PREPRARE

We visualize every aspect from the start, turns, the finish. We have them go through and visualize the proper technique, seeing yourself swimming. Visualize your goal time onthe clock.

4) TAKE A MOMENT TO Cheer on your team mates.

1) FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP?

Core Value of the Month: HONESTY HONESTY:

Watching what you say and do so others will trust you.

Honesty is necessary if children are to learn to trust and be trusted. It requires an accurate reporting of the facts and telling others what they need to hear. Here are some important principles to remember when trying to build to help your child being honest at home: Model the truth. Children don’t have to be taught to lie, but they do have to learn how to tell the truth. As a parent, you are in a key position to demonstrate honest behavior and conversation.

Understand a child’s attitudes. One of two attitudes can usually be found at the root of dishonesty—selfishness and fear. Selfishness is a way to manipulate the circumstances to get something you want or to make others believe something that elevates your importance. Fear is an attempt to avoid the consequences of wrong behavior by denying or shifting the responsibility.

Provide consistent correction. Although you should remember that dishonest behavior is a natural tendency, deceptive mannerisms and words can become the normal response if they go unchecked. Encourage children to respond truthfully.

to be dishonest. We must convince them that just the opposite is true.

CATCH YOUR CHILD BEING HONEST Core Essentials believes that a key way to help your child internalize the character values being taught is to “catch” them demonstrating the value. Here are a few suggestions on how you can catch your child, and let him or her know you see them being honest.

• He turns in items he finds, either at the pool or in a store or at the park.

• She answers questions truthfully.

Help your child make the connection between his or her honesty, and your ability to trust him or her with different tasks or responsibilities.

These are just a few ways you can catch your child showing honesty. The Core Essentials Program believes it takes an INWARD attitude to influence OUTWARD behavior. The Program is based on aligning the home and school to teach character.

Explain the consequences. One difficulty in dealing with If you do catch your child being honest, we would love to dishonest behavior is that there often is not an immediate hear about it. Tell us what your child did in a note sent into negative consequence. Some children sometimes get what the school, or an e-mail sent directly to his or her teacher. they want by dishonest means. It appears that stealing, cheating or lying costs them only if they are caught.

Children naturally think it costs to be honest and it pays © 2009 Core Essentials, Inc. All rights reserved. www.coreessentials.org PHOTOGRAPHY | MARK MCCOY

PROM101

Alison Sigman

Special Advertising

PROM NIGHT: AN EVENING OFTEN MORE anticipated than graduation day. Many think of it as a mini-wedding, with months, or even an entire year going into the planning of prom night. Choosing a dress is first and foremost, with hair, makeup, accessories, and flower choices to follow. Many proms include a meal with the price of admission, taking care of that decision, which is good with so many other things to worry about.

The biggest worry is always about finding the perfect dress, in the best cut, in the most popular color.

Contributor

This year’s color choice is an icy shade of blue that is flattering on all skin tones, and comes straight from the silver screen thanks to Bella’s prom dress in “Twilight.” Want to be super glamorous? Try a Grecian draped gown with twists and folds in all the right places, in silk jersey. Dramatic eye makeup and loose, spiral curls complete this look.

For an edgier look, opt for a short dress, a tight ponytail, and go ahead and break the cardinal rule of makeup with super bold eyes and a bold lip.

March - April 2010

To keep the night a fairytale at all times, it is important to be ready for any problems that may arise, and have a purse packed with all the essentials.

• Safety pins fix any tear, snag, or accident that could be the result of a clumsy dance partner.

• Hair spray not only takes care of any stray hair, but also helps ward off static cling.

• Band aids are just good sense to always have on hand but especially if those killer high heels start attacking with blisters.

• Hair ties especially important if hair is worn down, but by wrapping them around the bottom of the dress, then around your wrist keep footprints off your parents’ investment.

• Bobby pins will allow you to nip and tuck stray hairs back when your hair spray fails.

• Lint roller is a pretty big must have. Not just for you, but your date as well. Keep a tiny one on hand right before pictures.

Guys, we know you don’t have time to enroll and complete an entire etiquette class before prom, but here are some dos and don’ts to ensure you appear like the dashing young man she thinks you already are.

DO pick her up at her door.

DON’T honk the horn.

DO pose for as many pictures as she (or her mother) want.

DO show up with a corsage matching her dress.

DON’T pick, tug, or complain about your tux, no matter how uncomfortable you are.

DO open all doors. This includes that of the car.

DO offer your hand to help her out of the car.

DON’T deny her a single slow dance.

DO push in, and pull out her chair at dinner.

Hayley Betz – Age 14 Soccer/Competitive Cheer & School Cheer

Hayley is such a humble athlete. She is a mentor to her team-mates and younger athletes and cheerleaders. She only knows one thing... [the] team. Although she excels in every sport she participates in, it’s not about her; it’s about her team, what she can to help out the team or another athlete. Hayley is encouraging, and edifies her team-mates and displays a positive attitude. She leads through example, the best form of leadership. Hayley has played travel soccer for seven years (ESC) and competitive cheer for nine years and cheers for Plaza Park Middle school, as well as plays Cub soccer and runs track. She also was selected as an “Elite All-American Cheerleader” at a summer cheer camp.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Comeback Athlete of the Month Katie “McD” McDonald – Age 14 Volleyball

Katie has always been very, very involved in sports.

She started with competitive all-star cheerleading at the age of 5 with the Cheer Zone Tigers. She juggled competitive cheer with recreational soccer until when was in the 5th grade, when she became involved in school volleyball and basketball. Juggling was next to impossible and she decided to drop cheer and focus on school sports. Things were

going smoothly until her 7th grade year basketball season. One day during practice she developed a severe headache and sat down on the court... little did we know this headache would lead us down a three month road of no sports and a diagnosis of an underlying heart abnormality, low blood pressure, and a lot of missed school. Nothing stopped Katie from her sports for long. The doctors finally found the correct medicine combination for Katie and she takes certain precautions and has been able to play for River City Storm Volleyball and looking forward to track season. She is a true comeback kid that will not let anything keep her down. When the doctor told her no sports, she stood up and looked him straight in the face and said “If Abe Lincoln could wrestle with a heart condition, I can too.” The doctor [said], “Most patients would give up, but I can see you are going to fight, your new motto “IN IT TO WIN IT”!
