“I was selected as
All American in 1998
and I can honestly say
that was one of the
most impactful events
on my cheer life!
I was SO nervous
before both the
individual performance
and interview parts
of the competition,
but it was all absolutely worth it. The confidence boost of just
completing an individual
competition is fantastic,
and it really helps
develop important life
skills beyond just
cheerleading.”
