Take a minute to really grasp how amazing this is. This isn't her team. These aren't her bases. GHOST & ACES ARE FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. She went out there & did the damn thing. She is a shining example of

Shout out to the girl on California All Stars Aces who filled in for the injured athlete on Ghost Recon yesterday, learned their routine in 20 minutes, and nailed her performance! 👏🏼

Typically I screenshot to make lawsuits easier to read. This needs to be read in its entirety as it shows a deep rooted culture issue at Navarro.
Madi made a brave choice to put her name to what happened to her but she is not alone.

I know we all want to rush that stage for these athletes, but please let his Cheerforce family have the watch area and any front row seats they want.
The rest of us can fill the hall, in a show of support that Spirit Sports has never seen. 🖤 RIP Kenrod
Our Kenrod was taken from this world much too soon. You brought joy to everyone around you & your spirit will shine like Gold through us all. Today is for you. Please lift the team up at approx 2:20pm as they courageously take the floor minus a brother. RIP Sweet Kenny 🙏🏼🖤💚

All star gyms should have mandatory time off throughout the year.
- Prevents burnout
- Allows for injury recovery
- Well rounded athletes are mentally healthier
- Athletes sometimes miss out on educational opportunities
- Lack of socialization leads to higher risk of grooming

This is why I have hope for the future of our sport. Athletes coming into the business side with passion & creating product that keeps the standards high but isn’t arbitrarily priced based on a “welp, cheer is expensive” mentality. This is how you change an industry.
Can you believe these uniforms are only $120.00👀🫢 Era Athletics!!! Be the new generation of cheerleading

Talking about eating disorders isn't toxic.
Pretending they don't exist is.
Accusing athletes of having one is.
Acting like they don't happen to boys is.
Spreading misinformation is.
Posting photos to accuse is.
We should be talking about ALL ISSUES in our sport. ALL.

Hiring a commentator who feels this way shows how much this organization does not give a single eff about our sport.
ICU worlds hasn’t even been on for 30 minutes and we already got an announcer on a hot mic mocking cheerleading….on a cheerleading broadcast. Maybe hire people who are actually interested in the sport?

I can't find the original tweet & I'm not in the mood to dig for it. So...
Telling your athletes they need to do more conditioning is fine. Assigning conditiong is fine. Telling them conditioning relates to performance is fine.
Telling them to lose two pounds is not ok. Ever.

Parents...if you are unhappy with your athletes placement some advice:
Is your athlete happy? Then suck it up, this isn't about you Linda.
Is your athlete unhappy? Fake it till you make it. It's your job to build them up & have them going to that first practice excited & ready.

nobody gonna talk about champion cheer heat having major building fall in pyramid but still “hitting 0” in finals….. how do the judges miss that. as a team, they should step up and give pac5 their silver globe, and GET LONG ISLAND CHEER THAT GLOBE! 2 girls on the floor, SOUNFAIR

One of her teammates told my kid she was fat. Apparently she's told others this too.
a) She's not. She literally has abs.
b) She's a base & a damn good one. c) This is cheer, all healthy body types have a place here.
And finally...
Someone needs to get their child before I do.

Varsity did the right thing. YOU however…did not. Repeatedly.
YOUR actions caused this.
YOU punished those athletes by thinking YOU were above the rules that very clearly state its grounds for disqualification.
Clearly YOU haven’t “respectfully followed” anyone’s wishes.
Update: Pro Sports founder was placed on the banned list and was barred from attending any Varsity event. He was spotted holding a speaker and “Mat talking” with the athletes at Summit so Varsity disqualified all their teams and retracted any summit globes they had received.

Reminder - a concussion is a mTBI. Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. Calling it the proper term makes people realize the seriousness of the injury & treat it as such. There's a lot of myths about recovering from a mTBI so always seek professional care. Praying for her.
