Cheerleading is one of those sports where it isn’t about an individual, but rather the team. With that in mind, let me tell you about our team. We come from all different parts of the country, north, south, west, we’ve got it all. Everyone has their own accent. Each their own style. However, despite being so different in these aspects, we are one. We feel the same frustration when stunts don’t hit. We feel the same elation when new, more complicated, stunts do. We feel the same excitement when someone learns a new tumbling move. We make sacrifices for each other, for our school. We encourage each other to do better, and we are there to support each other through hard times. The only spotlight we seek is one big enough for the entire team.
The first semester was a time of experimentation, a time to see what we were capable of. Now in the second semester, it's time to apply ourselves and prepare for nationals. Already, the team is showing great promise and dedication. New skills are appearing left and right. New tumbling, new stunts, improvements on existing abilities, the list goes on. In addition to all this, and most importantly, our friendship and bond as a team grows and becomes stronger with each practice and game. The coming months will be rough, but we are prepared to endure them together.
We all know what is required of us for nationals this year at Daytona. Some feel excitement, others nervousness, but undoubtedly everyone feels an anxiety and drive to put on one hell of a performance.
