All-Star My Apology And The Truth

[Fierce_Elite]

I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who I made upset, cursed out, and get attitude with for no reason. I am coming back to apologize because I know I am wrong. Not because "I got caught", for misrepresenting one of the most respected gyms in America. I did audition for CEA along time ago, but got turned away for personal reasons that shall remain between the gym, and my self. Even though I was angry with them for turning me away, I thought that if I used them for higher creditability as cheerleading experience it would get more parents interested in having their child on my team and trusting me as a professional coach.
I was wrong. Not only did I not realize that I could have gotten those girls in trouble if a coach thought this was someone from their gym currently acting like this on social media, this could have gone a lot further legal wise. I had the chance to swallow my pride and tell the truth but never did until now. I lied and lied, knowing darn well you guys really knew what was going on. I guessed that if I kept on insisting, the thread would just go away and the drama would eventually end. But again, I was wrong.
Overall, I have learned a very valuable lesson. I mean it this time. For now on, I vow to tell the truth about everything I post. I will also provide backup as proof. I really want to earn your trust and respect.
I want you guys to understand that I'm still young. I'm only twenty years old. I just turned twenty about two weeks ago. I still have a lot of growing up to do. Just like a little kid, once you lie about something, you get scared and continue to try and cover it up knowing your parents already know the truth and you're going to get punished anyway. That's what that thread was like for me. I felt like a kid all over again and didn't know how to "come clean".
I also need to realize that this is the internet. What I post on here stays. I've also realized that I will never become respected in the cheerleading world as a coach if I'm acting unprofessional on one of the most well known boards of all time. Any social media really. But especially things that reflect future jobs I want.

TO the CEA girls that have seen these post; I truly apologize to you out of all people on here. Because I made you guys look bad as a gym. Though I had did have one bad encounter with CEA, doesn't mean all CEA locations are the same. I'm sorry for taking credit for your work as I have no idea how hard it is to get there. I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me and understand. I never looked at the fact that I could have gotten you guys in trouble. Not just you guys, but the whole gym.

As said before, I vow to tell the truth from now and provide proof If I have to backup anything I say. I will do anything it takes to earn the trust from Fierce boards users.

1. I respect anyone who can admit to being wrong.

2. If you in fact DID apply for coaching jobs under the guise of having cheered at CEA, let me advise you that most schools fact check and call references. That lie could cost you the job. Not worth it. Don't misrepresent your experiences. It won't get you anywhere.

I never told any one that I cheered at CEA but on here.

I would never lie on an actual job interview making things worse. (Just saying)

Thank you for being honest and telling the truth. That's was all that was needed. After this you'll probably find the boards much more fun. Good luck with your job interviews.

I never posted anything in the other threads but I read them. Swallowing your pride and telling the truth is a very commendable thing to do. Hopefully this can all be in the past and you can enjoy the board, because while it does have it's fair share of drama, it also has a lot of helpful people who know a lot about the cheer industry.

Thank you. Well said. It's good you recognize you have some growing up to do but this was a giant leap to adulthood and not an easy thing to do.

I have a lot of respect for that.

Best wishes on your interview today and feel free to stick around as your original screen name.

Welcome to the boards Fierce_Elite. Glad to have you and hope you enjoy your stay with us.

We can be quite protective of our boards and catfishing and creating multiple accounts (we always figure them out) are a big no no here along with a few other things.

If you ever have any questions while figuring out the boards just ask, lots of people here willing to help you if needed.

If this was WhatsApp, i would insert the applaud emoji.

Like i told you before, i respect an honest apology. And saying: "Yes, i lied, i was wrong." is even harder.
But, and please don´t get me wrong:
Your actions and posts on here where really intense stuff. Maybe it will take a while till people will really believe that you mean what you say (in this case have written). I´m that kind of person.

You don´t have to tell me who you really are, where you´re from or what you did before. And maybe you don´t care if i or other fierceboarders will be rainbows and butterflies right from this point (thought it´s rare that we are either).

But if you stick around, read a lot, think before you post - one day it could be all good.

And i think you are right in one important thing:
This board is really important in the allstar world and business. It can help you a lot, but it can work the other way round.
It´s just a matter of how you act.
Let´s face the truth: Even if everyone on here would be mean, childish, disrespectful - your reaction to this is what will influence the impression everyone who reads it will have about you.
Saying: "But they were mean, so i lost it!" does not work in the adult world. And this is what you are entering with 20 and wanting to start your career.
So, again: Welcome and good luck!

It takes a big person to do this. Good job.


Tough love found here

See Fierce_Elite, I knew you are a 'real contender.' :cheering:
At only 20 you learned a valuable lesson, you need to always be a credible person in all your business endeavors and go for the impeccable reputation in all your dealings with others, that will carry you to the next level. Speaking as a parent, I will always follow and go with someone who is hard-working and always upstanding in all their actions than someone flashy and over the top...

Hint: Knowing you 20 year olds, it is hard not to believe graduating from HS and getting a diploma means you know-it-all, but you need counsel from us old 'corny' folks, there is still some value in us walking the Earth a little longer...
PS: Glad you are back to the boards and I will advise you not to be afraid to 'Shimmy' me everyday!;)

 

[cheerKT]

Respect for coming clean. Hope you stick around!

 

[JuniorFusionFire]

Thank you for apologizing to the fierceboard. It's appreciated. And btw, you don't HAVE to go overboard and post pictures of EVERYTHING you say, because hopefully, we'll trust you enough to believe you (unless you want to take the rainbow road and be sarcastic- everyone has fun on the FB sometimes). The tension here will take time to lower but simply apologizing, instead of running away, was a very grown up and mature action to do. I second what eveyone else is saying- read the boards, learn a little, and have a lot of fun. And this board will become really valuable. :)

 

[catlady]

A million for your honesty and apology. Welcome to the boards!

 

[Cheermom1969]

Thank you for what you wrote. As @12stepCheermom said, you took a big leap into adulthood with this situation and hopefully you will be helping others who are reading this and may not have learned the lessons you did. I wish you all the best with whatever you do in life and hope you stay around the boards because, really, I'm quite funny! :p

Never be afraid to ask questions because you will learn so much from this place. xoxo
