Full disclosure: I flew 90% of the time (barely 5'0 and typically smallest on most teams I was ever on, so it was almost by default) all the way up through college. So definitely not hate, because why would I hate the position I spent my athlete years in?
I don't necessarily think flying has become any more glorified now than it ever was. I mean, kids have wanted to fly since I was 5 years old and in Kaepas.
I do think there is a lot to be be said for teaching kids EARLY in the sport that VERSATILITY is an important quality in a cheerleader and that throughout your time as an athlete, things will change. Then the change is less jarring when it happens, if that makes sense.
