What do you love about your sport?

“I love my sport because it challenges me physically and mentally. I also pretty much turn into a completely different person when I perform with a team. I’ve also grown up with cheerleading so I’ve loved it for as long as I can remember.”

How do you think it makes you better as a person?

“Cheerleading has made me a better person by teaching me to be a part of a team and bringing me out of my shell when I was younger and more shy. I never gave up and became more determined not only in the sport but outside the sport as well.”
