Out in the Crowd


Game day
Friday night
Crisp autumn air
You've practiced
You’re ready
Commitment
Fans everywhere 
A sea of red and white
Smells of grilled hamburgers
Fresh popcorn  
Electricity 
Excitement
Nerves
Lights
The Announcer
The Team
National Anthem
Kick-off
Defense
Passion
Touchdowns
Quarter breaks
Timeouts
Halftimes
Stunts
Tumbling
Pyramids
Cheers
Dances
The Band
Winning touch down
Intensity
The final score
Celebration
Pride
Powerful

These are all things that we experience on any given Friday.  
Yet, somewhere in the mix of all these things is a little girl.  A little girl watching your every move.  She is dressed in her uniform, hair up, poms in hand.  She looks onto the field in awe and dreams that one day she will be just like you.  She practices her cheers.  Jumps around in the living room and tumbles in the back yard… 

You are her idol. 
You are her dream.
That is a lot of responsibility.  
High expectations to live up to. 
Are you ready?  
Can you handle the pressure?  
Don’t let that little girl down...
