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

Sylas enjoys cheerleading because not only does he experience personal growth but gets to progress and succeed with his team and be apart of their personal growths as well. The support and sense of family with his cheer community is the best.


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

Sylas: “You mommy, because you support me even on days I wanted to give up, and when I was scared being the only boy cheerleader, you gave me every ounce of courage to be me and do what I love!”


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

The thing that makes me the most proud of Sylas is his strength. Not physically, but mentally. 6year old Sylas was scared of judgement and scrutiny, didn’t have a lot of confidence. 4 years later he has become an amazing boy with confidence and mostly PRIDE in who he is and his skills as a growing athlete. Standing up for himself and not letting anything stop his progression or passion for cheerleading. He’s an amazing athlete, supportive team mate and his goals at his age are absolutely amazing
