Dont be afraid to try!

"
I have been incredibly MOVED and INSPIRED by the athletes at Cheer Factor this month. May Mania has been incredibly stressful, crowded, and insane…but despite the high numbers in classes, our athletes have continued to work hard and improve. It seems as though every time I turn around, someone has landed a new skill or tried a new trick. It seems like every time I collect cards, there are a million new points to keep track of. In all of this Mania, I see incredible cheerleaders and incredible people emerging.Continuous effort -- not strength or intelligence -- is the key to unlocking our potential."

"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try"

I want to encourage all of our athletes to think about their goals. If you are just showing up to hang out with friends or appease your coaches or parents, you will not reach your full potential. If you are coming to the gym for yourself, because you have goals, because you have not reached your dreams yet…then you will succeed. I’d like to remind everyone that it is all about one step at a time. It is about setting personal goals for yourself and not stopping until you reach them. It is watching someone else throw a crazy tumbling skill and thinking "Someday I will do that too".

"The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants, and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized...and never knowing"
