What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What my daughter loves most about All Star cheer is the way it brings together her passion, her people, and her purpose. She lives for the adrenaline of the stage, the bond with her teammates, and the challenge of pushing herself to new limits. It’s not just a sport to her-it’s where she feels strongest, happiest, and most at home.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My daughter looks up to Brooklyn Lily and Coco Martin more than words can explain. They’ve truly inspired her dream of becoming a flyer. She watches their performances closely not just the stunts, but the way they carry themselves with confidence, poise, and joy. Seeing athletes like Brooklyn and Coco fly so fearlessly shows her what’s possible with hard work, strength, and heart. Because of them, she believes in herself more.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Two years ago, watching my daughter win a national title with her team in Orlando was one of the proudest moments of my life. Seeing all the long practices, hard work, and dedication come together on that stage brought me to tears. She gave everything she had out there not just talent, but heart and when they called her team’s name, the look on her face said it all. She shared that epic memory / stage with her brother. It was a moment as a parent I’ll never forget.
