I’m sure everyone’s heard the song with the chorus “So you had a bad day” by Daniel Powter. You know, the one that was used for American Idol eliminations a few seasons back? (Click here to view the video if you’ve forgotten). Everyone, especially the students we coach, teach, or work with has a bad day once in a while. It might be a practice that doesn’t go as planned, a fall off a horse, or an injury. Maybe it’s something simple, like a student upset about a grade or finishing “out of the medals” at an event.
While a few kind words and a hug are certainly the first line of response when helping those who are having a bad day, at Hodges we have a few things that should come in handy when you need to cheer someone up.
- Our AWESOME ribbon is a bright and colorful way to cheer up both children and adults
- For the aforementioned riders who have come off their mounts, we have the Dusty Bottoms ribbon to get them smiling again
- For younger athletes, try the Good Sport ribbon
- Specifically for gymnasts, there’s the I Did My Best multicolor ribbon
- For swimmers, there’s an Everyone is a Winner! ribbon
- For kids in 4-H, there’s an animal-themed Everyone is a Winner! ribbon
