CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Since the age of 4, I have been in love with cheerleading. Now at 13, my passion for cheer has never stopped. Through bruises, broken bones, cuts and scrapes, there has never been a time cheer has not been my outlet in this world. Growing up I was bullied a lot and it was cheering that taught me how to be confident, not only in the abilities I have but also in the greatness I possess on my own.

CHEERFIT came into my life as a great blessing, not just in helping me grow physically, but also allowing me to grow mentally.

So even if I am bullied, I know that I am a great person and I actually want to give love to those people who are bullies so they can assist in building others up instead of trying to pull them down. CHEERFIT came into my life as a great blessing, not just in helping me grow physically, but also allowing me to grow mentally.

Through CHEERFIT, I am seeing that I can do things I never expected to do and that every ounce of hard work I put into something will be shown in the results. And those results will be out of this world!

Being part of the CHEERFIT family has taught me to be truly CHEERFIT strong in all aspects of life. Never forget to be a friend, work hard, and never fear anything thrown at you because you are strong enough to make it * and most importantly THRIVE!

I started cheering when I was four years old and I had no idea that this sport would turn into such a major part of my life . I quickly began doing privates, and I basically lived at the gym every day. I will never forget the days of hanging out with so many cheer family members . I got a full at the age of six years old. I love the sport so much because there’s so many different levels of cheer that whatever level you are or whatever skill you have you can still be on a competitive team and enjoy yourself meeting new people traveling and enjoying the competitions. I have had to change gyms three times and it was the most difficult times of my life because the gyms that I went to we all became family. It was very difficult to leave gyms, but I had to because of the skill levels that I had at an early age. I thank all my coaches and all my cheer family for always standing behind me supporting me and cheering for whatever team or whatever gym I was representing that year.

I am 14 years old now, and the two things that I’ve always wanted is to be on a level 5 team and win NCA and the Summit. I have accomplished all of those things.

I am 14 years old now and the two things that I’ve always wanted is to be on a level 5 team and win NCA and the Summit.

I thank my mom and my family for always supporting me and allowing me to be a part of this great sport .

My name is Madyson, but I like to go by Maddie. I am 7 years old and I am a flyer at Ultimate Cheer. I currently struggle with locking my hips when I’m doing heels stretches or splits. When I am stretching, it feels more comfortable and easier to turn my hips to the side. I’m trying to learn how to keep my hips straight, but I’ve been doing it wrong for so long that it hurts and it feels uncomfortable to do. Through my time as a CHEERFIT Ambassador, I hope to learn to correctly stretch and become more flexible. I’ve learned in the past that hard work pays off and I’m committed to being a better cheerleader!

I’m not currently involved in anything right now but I do motivate others. My mom tells me to be kind no matter what. I always encourage my friends to try because you don’t know if you can do something if you don’t try it!

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Overcoming and still fighting a huge medical issue is a big accomplishment for me. I also made honor roll all four quarters for second grade and now will be going to third grade.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

This is just the beginning of my CHEERFIT journey, but so far my favorite part would be the access to great workouts and motivating my friends to workout to.

Because being an Ambassador is such a new experience for me, I hope that by being an ambassador it will help me stunt better, gain new skills and stay fit.

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I started All-Star Cheer 4 yrs ago. I broke both bones in my left arm, which resulted in them both sticking out of my arm. I had to have multiple surgeries – 2 plates and 16 screws, just for my arm to heal. I wore a cast that went from the knuckles on my left hand, all the way to my arm pit for almost 9 months. I then had 4 months of physical therapy to strengthen my arm and get my range of motion back.

I now have two 6 inch scars and a 1 inch circular scar to my left forearm. It has been difficult relearning my tumbling skills because I still have numbness and tingling to my arm. My elbow also becomes stiff and will lock up at times . . .

. . .but I’m more determined than ever to succeed.

I also lost my dad to adult respiratory distress in 2011, and my mom is currently battling stage 3 breast cancer. I’ve learned that you keep fighting no matter what.
