Sense of Pride or Selfish Proud Papa Moment?

This past wed night I had the privilege to once again knock out two birds with one stone.  On one hand I had two of my private trainees headlining the Redhawk line-up and on the other of course are my Husky Amazons that I've told you guys about.  While it is of proper etiquette to be "neutral" at such an event, where I get to interact with several families I work with, I really want "my kids" to play well and love it when they are victorious in their efforts like any proud mother or father would be while living vicariously through their children.  Although I do not have any blood daughters on these teams I do have a sense of pride when "MY GIRLS" meet their expectations and at times,exceed above and beyond their expectations.  After all I do get to interact with them in a "training" setting several times a week.  Now I'm going to use TRAINING SETTING in lose terms here because while we are trying to "physically prepare for the rigors of sporting demand," the weight room represents a haven of sorts.  For some (if not more than some) of these athletes "lifting time" is a time to let loose while engaging in a physically empowering activity that allows them to get away from the stresses of practice, academics, and  maybe even everyday life itself.  A time to for everyone to come together as equals in the pursuit of STRENGTH.  The strength we're talking about is not merely limited to how much more they can pull, or how many more pullups they can do, or having the ability to get through one more GHETTO PROWLER set. In deeper and more meaningful sense its the fact that they know they are strong or at least stronger than last time.  And when you know this about yourself you play and perform without restriction.  For these young ladies (and I would guess for most people in general) confidence and self assurance is everything.  So when I ask is this a SENSE OF PRIDE that these young ladies are representing my brand so well? or am I just another SELFISH PROUD PAPA?   I can tell you I don't mind it being a little bit of both.  

To Kaela and Sara, continue your hard work because it will and it is paying off!

To my Huskies, keep relentlessly pursuing perfection so that you may all certainly find excellence!
