Moving Forward

Both Ian Rush and Eric Cantona are greats in the soccer scene, both of them are legends in their club. So what is the main difference between these 2? Eric Cantona retired when he was at his best, even though he could have carried on for at least a few more years, while Ian Rush moved on to other clubs after his peak, and hang on for few more years, playing below his peak form, with lower level teams.

So in cheerleading terms, would you choose to follow the path of Ian Rush or Eric Cantona? Would you move on to another team that is less competitive and more passion driven, stay there and enjoy the fun with little stress, compete in but have no aims to be champions of Cheerobics team category anymore? Or would you retire at your best, not compete in Cheerobics team category altogether, leaving the scene on a high?

Personally I would choose the path of Eric Cantona, to leave on a high, then maybe venture into another wing of cheerleading, such as group and partner stunts, just like Cantona ventured into another wing of soccer, beach soccer and still be the king there.

I do not believe in living in mediocrity, I shall always seek to be the best in whatever I do, if it is not to be in the team event, it shall be the group event. The day I feel that I am past my best, is the day I shall retire, I will not hang around to be just another man, nor will I go down to a lower level, if I compete, I only compete with the best and to win.

Alan Shearer also retired as a legend in his club. He is more like a Cantona, he did not move on to smaller clubs like Ian Rush.
Talking cock after you retire is great too.

I want to be Eric Cantona... Retire at his peak, rather than moving on to smaller clubs or even becoming fringe player...
