Guardie of the week- Destinee

This week's Guardie of the Week is....

 
 

 Destinee

 from Santa Claus, Indiana

Destinee is from Heritage Hills High School Colorguard, where she is a dedicated spinner in her guard. Destinee joined guard 2 years ago and had no idea what it even was. Her friend told her that it sounded pretty cool, so she decided to go and see what it was about. Since then, she has tried to recommend guard to every person she sees and know.
 
"I love it so much and I will always continue to somehow be involved with it. Guard has changed my life"
 
Her favorite thing about being in guard is definitely meeting other people in other guards. her favorite toss is a double parallel and she stays in  love with guard because it's a great way to express herself.
 
 "I can't sing, so I act, I can't really do sports very well, so I dance and I preform. I love guard and everything- even the blood, sweat and tears that comes with it."
 
In the Future, she's considering joining an independent guard after high school or coach her very own high schools guard.
 
 

Congrats Guardie of the Week

remember to keep it light, tight and looking alright! always pick light clothes so heat would reflect not absorb and keep it form fitted because you don't want to feel heavy.

  • shades

you will always need to throw some shade, I'm talking about glasses and visors here. Sunglasses and visors will help you from being blinded by the light and they're very versatile so you will always look good. 
  • running shoes

running shoes are much needed because your toes will thank you for treating them with respect by putting them in a shoe that's not only comfortable but breathable
  • A FAN

Now you definitely need this because the sun can cause a lot of damage unless God gave you the gift of lovely melanin but, also as a black person myself, we still don't want dry cracked skin so, I suggest getting some Ambi cream for my melanin brothers and sisters , it works wonders. And after everyone's day is done, rub some coconut oil on your skin so you can enrich your skin and so it can be healthy and silky smooth
  • pain killers

You're going to need this....PERIOD!!! There is nothing like popping some pills after a long practice and by that I mean pain killers LOL. also, invest in some products by J.T. Watkins because it works wonders and all athletes use his products. 

  • kick butt attitude
