CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I became a CHEERFIT ambassador about 2 years ago and had to take a hiatus due to competing on 2 teams with practice 5 days a week. I felt like I couldn’t give to my CHEERFIT family like I was suppose to, but now I’m back full force.
Although I was gone as an ambassador, I still implemented my workouts when I could. It not only helped me build muscle, but it helped me strengthen my mind (to believe I could do anything I set it to), and prolonged my endurance (to be able to compete 2 hard routines in a single competition and endure long hours of practices).
Now that I’ve only committed to one team this season, I’m ready to help show the world how beneficial CHEERFIT is to your body and mind!.

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: ADDISON NASH
The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.
Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle. In addition to cheerleading, many of our ambassadors are committed to having a positive impact on their community through other special causes.
This week, we meet Addison, a cheerleader who is determined to never give up, and also an advocate for the Down Syndrome Community. We are amazed by her dedication to the cause and are so very proud to have her as a CHEERFIT ambassador – we share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Addison Nash!
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
This story is about my daughter Addison and her struggle with tumble mental blocks . She’s in her gym Sunday – Thursday and begs to stay for extra tumble classes almost every week. She has her ups and downs and has dealt with her fair share of “mental blocks” when it comes to tumbling but this little girl never gives up.
She works her absolute hardest until she’s confident with her tumbling again.
She had a bad block literally a few weeks before her very first competition in November and she was so worried that she would be taken off her team or that she wouldn’t throw the pass at her comp. She got in the gym and worked every day making sure she worked on everything she would do and eventually over came the block.
I’m so proud of her drive to never give up on herself.

Addison is a huge advocate for the Down Syndrome Community. Her little brother, Asher is 17 months and has DS. You might have seen him and Addison on the news recently. He has became quite famous. She got her school and cheer gym to wear blue and yellow in October for Down Syndrome Awareness Month. She also created a video to explain Down Syndrome to her peers at school.
One of Addison’s cheer comps is Spirit or Hope in Charlotte, NC. Her gym collects donations to go towards the foundation. Addison and her best friend on her cheer team walked around in the cold during Christmas break raising money on their own for the Spirit of Hope foundation.
Addison is an amazing big sister to her brother Asher. She is not only is biggest advocate, but his best friend. She is excited that her gym is getting a special needs team because she wants to volunteer and help. She hopes her brother will one day be on the team.
