What is Your Boyfriend Story?

well I didn't have a bf it was a gf. She got me into it and it was great we got to spend a lot of time together and grow as a relationship. It didn't last long because of drama but we worked things out and became best friends and still are.

How Do You Handle Cheering and a Relationship?

I think that is the hardest thing is dating someone that cheers with you. All i can say is don't let it interfere with your training for comps and don't let it interrupt practice. You must be dedicated if you are gonna date some one you see 5 to 6 days a week and there are no loosen ends when your in season.

Lessons Learned

  • If you are gonna date a fellow cheerleader make sure your relationship is strong. Don't let drama or rumors get in the way.
  • When you two are at practice you're there to get better not play kissy face or hanky panky out side of practice is fine but not at practice.
