AU Cheer's Friends and Family Performance was the first moment where we felt and saw what our routine really looked like. It was all dressed up, new bows and all, with that hint of adrenaline pumping through us and it was really more than I expected it to be. The performance showed that no matter the amount of injuries, tears, screaming (not from Brett of course), and drama, we can pull it all together in front of a large crowd.
Sunday's performance was the beginning of the home stretch of our season and no matter how much our body's hate us, we are ready to work for the next 8 days up until that last second we are on that big blue mat in Daytona. Not only are we ready but we want it. We are at that point where determination and confidence are getting us through the long practices and minor injuries. Confidence is one thing that this years team has a lot of. We have faith in our routine and each other which has created a dynamic that has broug ht us far in the course of a year...from an intermediate division to division 1. AU Cheer always wants to do the more dangerous skill, the more difficult basket, and the cooler stunt and we often surprise ourselves with the result. Even with nationals so close we want to go for more (back tuck 2-2-1 pleaseeee).
Even though Friends and Family gave us the confidence boost that we needed, it still couldn't prepare us for the week ahead where we are forced to rework the routine, change our pyramids, change our stunts, and deal with missing an essential member of our team. Injuries happen though and if there's any team that can roll with the punches it's AU Cheer. Despite the frustration we know what we have to do and we will make it work and that is something that I am confident about. Lets get her done my little SB's!
