 "Why I Love Being A Legend"

Anthony, Fernando & Laura ~ I wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate all that you have done for me over the past three years. Cheer Legendz was the best thing I have ever done. I have the greatest memories and for that I need to thank you three. I wish everyone the best this year. Again, thank you for all you have done for me. Chandler

Thank You Coaches and staff for all of the things you do...stay power is the name of the game!!!  ~Jessie 

I just made coed cheer at Southeast Missouri State & I wanted to thank you all for everything you guys ever did for me. I could not have done it without Cheer Legendz. Please tell Anthony I said thank you & I really appreciate it :) love you guys. <3 Bri

I just wanted to say how amazed I am with the coaches after watching last night...the positive experience and self-confidence that you are giving my daughter is astounding...I know now more than ever that bringing her to Legendz was the best decision we could have made for our daughter...Thank-you so much!...We are looking forward to many more years with you all! Cari

Thank you Laura, Anthony, and Fernando for a great year!!! Every one of you work so hard, and it is appreciated. The year has flown by-but everything was amazing. Thank you for everything. And I look forward to Sunday. Love, Dianne

I just wanted to let you know how impressed with the back handspring clinic that my daughter attended this past Saturday. She is so excited that she was able to do it by herself by the end of the clinic. Wes was a great coach and gave her positive compliments. She is ready to come back again. Thanks for having a facility like this to offer the kids of this area these opportunities. Melanie

In my head I am continually composing a thank you note to both you and Anthony. Although I'll send an official one at the end of the season, just wanted you to know what a wonderful experience this has been for my daughter. Thank you! Nancy

I can't thank you both enough for what CheerLegendz has done for my daughter. She has just bursted into this remarkable, outgoing, confident, pre-teen. The discipline in this sport is amazing and I am so blessed to have CheerLegendz as part of our lives. So, Thank you from the bottum of my heart. I am e-mailing everyone today that has touched our lives in a postive way. Life is too short not to tell people how you feel. You guys truely are legendary. Christine

Thanks to all the coaches for an AMAZING weekend!!! It doesn't get much better than this!!!! Laurie

I would also like to tell you that I was so proud to be part of the CheerLegendz family this week-end -- the level of enthusiasm just kept growing all Sunday as the squads competed. The athletes watching were so close to the mat, generating so much energy for the performing squads. Then Pumaz!! They were AMAZING. Keeping one eye on the floor and one eye on Anthony -- it was incredible to watch. Lots of fun!! Sally

Have I told you lately that You Rock! ~ Jennifer

I am convinced you all brainwash the children some way, because my daughter just loves Cheer Legendz. Thanks, Blair

I really like this Cheer and my daughter is having the time of her life. I have never seen her more happy and social. We are blessed to have found you all! Christine

...I was really excited about this past weekend's competition. I have never been a part of anything like this and I'm very excited about the up-coming competitions. I was impressed with all of the CL teams. I just want to commend you and Anthony (and all of the other coaches involved) with the excellent routines. I am proud to say that we are a part of the Cheer Legendz gym!! Nicki

Thanks for making my daughter feel so at home. She really loves you and her squads that she is on! She is always ready to go 30 minutes before we have to! That can only mean that you make her time worthwhile! She loves it!! Thanks!! Janelle

I made the cheer squad at Truman State University Next year! Just thought I'd share that, I share my experiences with legendz and competitions with the girls at Truman all the time! Thanks for everything, I couldn't have made it without you!

I do want to tell you that I am very impressed with your gym. I was a college cheerleader and college dance coach and never ceased to be amazed at what I saw from some of your older squads practicing when I was there with my daughter. And she learned so much. Kelly

My daughter is loving cheer legendz and looking forward to her first competition season! Thanks a million, Lisa

Anthony, My daughter LOVES your class....it's the first time I haven't had to tell her to get ready, she's always in the car waiting!!! Thanks! Laura

Thanks for your hard work, you do a great job. I think your communication methods have been wonderful (something I am not used to from previous gyms), Kathy

Anthony - thank you for entertaining us as parents. We truly enjoyed watching the squads compete. It was also funny because my old cd's became "cool" to my daughter because some of the songs were in the routines this year.....We can assure you, she loves this sport. We've never seen her work so hard at something. Thank you for this experience this year…..Good luck this year! We will be in the stands cheering for you! Lisa

I just wanted to share with you how much my daughter has loved her tumbling clinics this week. I feel so comfortable with your program after watching your coaches with the number of children they dealt with. I have been so impressed with all of the positive comments. We were at another gym this past season and I honestly believe that she received more positive feedback in the last two days than the entire year in our other program. Keep up the great work. Your cheerleaders and their parents appreciate it. Bobbi

The gym looks great – my daughter loved it and let Anthony know that the girl coach did tumbling with Sarah last night and she said she was REALLY GOOD!! I'm sure this is all stuff you guys already know, but just wanted to pass the compliments on. Kim

I just wanted to say how happy we are with our new experience at Cheer Legendz!! Looks like a great, great organization and of course, great people!! Thanks! Brenda

Your communication efforts are most impressive. Thanks for the all the updates!, Cindy

If you could pass along a BIG hug for Fernando—and tell him we love him!! Megan

FYI - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the team that my daughter is on. I'm so thrilled that Anthony will be our coach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ellen

My daughter is thrilled with her squad and tumbling coaches! All of you have done so much in such a short period of time, you have so much to be proud of!!!! Kim

Thank you! I have been reading the handbook, you guys are awesome! So organized, I can't tell you how impressed I am, HUGE difference from the squad we came from. Kelly

First let me thank all the folks at Cheer Legendz for working so hard to make this gym as wonderful as possible. Your care for the welfare of the children is very evident and I thank you. (I'm sending this after try-outs so the sucking up doesn't appear so obvious. Michelle

You guys have done a fantastic job with everything. I'm not blowing smoke up your skirt either. I have been so impressed with how rapidly everything has happened. It's incredible! Ellen

I am extremely excited about this years teams and very happy with the placement of my daughter on the senior level 4 squad. WOW! I love the gym and can't believe you got all of the best cheer leaders in the St Louis area in one gym. That is amazing. Denise

FYI - last night was great. I spoke with a friend of mine who has never done cheer before and her mom attended the parents’ meeting. She was very impressed with the level of professionalism, the information, etc. We're going to have a great year!
Thanks, Laura....you’re the best! Thanks for all of your help! Tammy

My husband and I attended last nights parent meeting and were very impressed with the experience in both business and cheer that the Cheer Legendz staff has to offer to the athletes which will train under them. We are looking forward to being a part of your gym and hope many more to come. Cynthia

I first want to say I loved the meeting yesterday. Laura you have a wonderful way about you that is just great. I just got home from the parent meeting. I will certainly say that you are a very organized group! : ) My daughter is VERY MUCH enjoying Cheer Legendz! Laura

You are doing a great job!!!!!!!!!! Allyson

Thank you for making this (the Show Me St. Louis video) available for those who missed the telecast. I just got around to viewing it and the pride I felt to be a part of this gym, this organization, literally made tears run down my face. Thank you to you and Anthony and all the coaches for making Cheer Legendz what it is! Carolyn

Thanks so much for such a great year. My daughter really loved it and was very sad yesterday because it was the last Cougarz's performance. Cindy

We had a wonderful trip in Kansas City. Cheer Legendz is obviously the best and is worth every penny we pay spring summer winter and fall!! We look forward to try-outs next week. My daughter loves cheering and everyone at Legendz! Kelly

Thank you so much for all your time and dedication to the gym. The parents and athletes truly appreciate you!!!!!!! Rita
Thanks so much for all you did to prepare our athletes to compete at a world-class level. The experience was extremely awesome. I am a very proud Cheer Legendz Parent, Christine.

Hello. First of all I want to tell you how excited we are to be part of Cheer Legendz. My daughter is on the Bobcatz and can’t wait for practice on Mondays and Wednesdays. We have tried several dance/gymnastics studios over the last two years and I can say without hesitation she has learned more in the last month that she ever has. She is so proud to show everyone she knows her cartwheel. Kelly

I think you all are fabulous and my daughter is having the time of her life and making such nice friends. I look forward to a great year of cheer!! Christine
