Sophomore Maddie Chaloux, was chosen for Cambridge's Positive Athlete award for her dedication to gymnastics.

The qualities this award values are optimism, encouragement, leadership, a heart for others, admitting imperfections, always giving 100%, and putting the team first.

Maddie was presented the award from 2-time SuperBowl champion Tyrone Poole.

Way to go Maddie for representing Cambridge Gymnastics!

Positive Athlete Georgia-Seven Definitions of a Positive Athlete:

1. Optimistic Attitude—Most coaches will tell you that an athlete who believes positive things will happen has a greater chance for success.
2. Encouraging Teammate—In every sport, teammates are going to experience some kind of failure. Positive Athletes are the first ones to encourage them.
3. Servant Leader—Positive Athletes do not think about being the "stars of the team." They lead through serving others first and by setting an example.
4. Heart for Others—Many athletes are blessed with gifts that many others are not. The Positive Athlete seeks to help the less gifted or fortunate.
5. Admits Imperfections—This is Positive Athlete…not Perfect Athlete. Athletes willing to admit they make mistakes gain the respect of teammates and fans.
6. Always Gives 100%—Not every athletic competition goes as planned, but a Positive Athlete always gives 100% no matter what the scoreboard says.
7. Puts Team First—There are times when personal achievement may hurt the team's goal. Positive Athletes choose their team.
