“Goodbye and Good luck” by Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Director Kelli Finglass, gave a special perspective of the emotion and bonds that are built into the team of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. On the show, “Making the Team” on CMT, Finglass is always portrayed as a tough and intense coach but this blog showed a different side of her. I admire how she allowed readers to gain insight to their end of the year banquet. As anyone could imagine this is probably a special celebration for all the rigorous and hard work these dancers put into an entire football on and off season; not to mention of the DCC’s are five year veterans.
Finglass shared some special ceremonies and traditions, such as the Rookie Ring that every girl receives after completing her rookie year; this has also been a DCC tradition for thirty-six years.
I personally really enjoyed reading her promises that she made to her team. Being a dancer is a tough job and often people do not recognize the sweat and tears that go into the sport. Although Finglass pushes her dancers and may be hard of them it was sweet for her to share her personal thoughts about the team. Some of her promises were:
- I promise you are more prepared to succeed in whatever career you choose, than you were before becoming a DCC
- I promise you have inspired someone.
- I promise your hearts will hurt when you walk out of this dinner and realize you don’t have practice tomorrow night with 37 of your best friends.
- I promise THIS 2013 squad is special and this TEAM will be missed.
- I promise you’ve made me proud!
On the technical side, her blog post was also nicely laid out and very eye appealing which is inspirational to aspiring bloggers like myself. She included various photos that allowed readers to feel like they were a part of this special banquet. She shared thoughts and moment that allowed her audience to feel like they were there. Her photos added an extra element that made it colorful and exciting. To read more America’s Sweethearts visit their website at: http://www.dallascowboyscheerleaders.com/
