You Want to Do What?


I have wanted to audition for an NFL cheerleading squad for almost a decade. In 2000, my college dance team participated in the annual Spirit Explosion hosted by the WRC - First Ladies of Football. Since that memorable date, I've misplaced those neon green poms but the dream has never died. I find myself a few months shy of a decade since the dream was born at 193lbs and in poor shape. Not exactly cheerleader material.
I could continue to sit back and fondly remember the good old days and sadly view photos of the new squad on ultimate cheerleader but this year I recently told a coworker I would really like to audition. She looked at me like I was insane and said she couldn't imagine it. That's when I realized that it was time to put up or shut up. I've decided to get off the couch and do something about this sad state of affairs. I will be documenting my journey here. Will I become a member of the WRC family next spring? Who knows. What I do know, is that I will be much better off for having seriously attempting to pursue a dream. Stay tuned. . .
