After the events at Jamfest Northern in Blackpool yesterday I just wanted to give a massive shout out to how kind and compassionate the rest of my team mates and coaches are and how fortunate I am to be part of an amazing programme. Our coaches and Senior 1 team gained the Spirit Award for most supportive programme and I’m over the moon with this. Cheerleading is first and foremost about treating athletes with respect and dignity, and about fostering good sportsmanship in every athlete. These athletes are exemplary and deserve to know that. I feel this is even more important to say after our Senior 2 were on the receiving end of some pretty poor behaviour from another team during their awards session. Despite a low placing and being treated poorly all of these girls remained incredibly supportive and kind to other athletes, which shows that they are a credit to their coaches and programme as a whole.
