What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreMalia loves cheer because of how free flipping and tumbling makes her feel, using the force of her whole body to perform different skills. She also love the dance aspect—it’s an all-in-one sport for her.
Malia said her coaches inspire her on the mat because she learns so much. They make her get it right until she is confident. Off the mat she says her parents inspire her because they are always the loudest in the gym cheering her on.
My proudest moment is when she made elite level, one only after one season and one year of cheer. Malia‘s growth and just that one year is truly inspiring and the dedication she gave to learning everything she could on her own through YouTube before even ever hitting the mat.
