"'All-You-Can-Do!’
is all you can do!" |

What
can we do as the 10.0 Club in 2008-2009 in support of our team?
110% Effort!
Jim
Stephenson made several comments about the commitment and dedication of
the 2008 team at the Women’s Gymnastics Award Banquet last spring. But
his comment about “All-You-Can-Do!” struck home to us most and it has
really provoked some thoughts about our work in 2008-2009.
“All-You-Can-Do!” strikes me as the foundational element of our efforts
in the booster club, and I call on each of us to step up to that
challenge… just as our team does every day in practice, in the
classroom, and in all their service to the community at large. Our
coaches, staff, and team give 110% Effort
every day… and it’s our responsibility to offer
110% Effort in our booster club
commitment.
What does 10.0 Club
110% Effort look like? Here’s a
short list of examples of what we’ve witnessed at the University
of Minnesota last year to start thinking about the 2009 season:
-
Joining the 10.0 Club
with a generous tax-deductible donation
-
Bringing friends,
family, neighbors and your club to meets
-
Taking pictures of our
team, and passing them around to others
-
Financially supporting
our University Team with charitable donations
-
Filling the Pavilion
with Noise!
-
Exhibiting great Golden
Gopher sportsmanship towards others
-
Cheering until you are
hoarse! Resting your voice until next week.
-
Buying season tickets,
and buying extra tickets for friends
-
Attending away meets…
and cheering for our Golden Gophers!
-
Helping with set-up and
clean up of the Club Room
-
Donating funds of much
needed “Wish List” items... a tax deductible donation
-
Shouting
“M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A !!”
-
Bringing your local
gymnastics club to a meet
-
Attending and
supporting the team at intra-squad meets
-
Attending every home
meet
-
Bringing post-game food
to share in the Pavilion Club Room
-
Greeting and supporting
our team – win or lose!
-
Wearing Maroon and Gold
with pride… our Minnesota team!

Screaming out loud for
a free Gold Country t-shirt!

Anything and everything else!

encouragement after a fall or missed skill
