CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I started my cheer journey in 2015. I had no skills besides a front roll and a handstand. I was put on my gyms large junior 2 as a flyer. At first I struggled a lot, all the other flyers were extremely flexible and they were all experienced, unlike me who could barely pull a scorpion.

So in the summer everyday, I would work on my flexibility and balance for 1-2 hours until I was at my goal.

I got my needle before any other flyer on the team and when I got flexible, it inspired everyone else to be.

Once we all were flexible, my team was known across Canada for being “the team with needles”. We won almost every competition and won Canadian Cheer Evolution nationals.

In that season, I managed to go from a level one tumbler to a level 3-4 tumbler. Now I am on the two highest level teams in my gym and I am point flyer on my junior 3 team, which is the team with needles.

I can truly say that hard work does pay off!

“Everything happens for a reason. . .”

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: MORGAN ANTONAZZO

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.

This week, we meet Morgan – a cheerleader who reminds us how powerful self confidence can be, and if you truly believe you can do something – you will! We are proud to share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Morgan Antonazzo!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

As a freshmen at 14 years old, I was pulled up on to Varsity cheer at my school. It was one of the most encouraging, most driving moment s of my entire life . I was surrounded by such amazing atheletes that it pushed me to better myself.

I had come from a pop warner team that had only done preperties to now doing one legs and 360s. It was a huge change. Being so it had its ups and downs,  but my advice to all young girls is to push yourself. Never belittle yourself because you are one of the younger girls or let anyone stop you from reaching your full potential. Through all the injuries I faced my freshmen year, I came out of it as such a stronger person.

Though I was the youngest and wasn’t full of knowledge, I didn’t let anyone keep me from striving.

Being younger sometimes has its set backs, but I always pushed myself and never let anyone say “oh well, you can learn it next year” or “well you’re a freshmen, you can’t learn it” because at the end of the day I could do anything I wanted to. I think it’s super important for everyone to find that spark of confidence in themselves, to make sure you make it to your full potential, and to never let anyone stop you . . .

– CHEERFIT Ambassador Morgan Antonazzo

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT?

I am involved with my school’s United Nations. We help local organizations and especially around the holidays we make sure to make every family has a holiday to its full potential. I also sponsored a family at a rough time by making dinner for them! It was a family of 5 and it was a large meal, but I put in time and effort to make sure that they had food on the table at such a rough time.

I’m also a lifeguard at a nursing home. It’s a great environment being around elderly people. They are full of knowledge and have been in tons of situations before, therefore they always have great advice. I also guard so they can swim and enjoy themselves.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 

Some of my accomplishments include: maintaining my spot on varsity, pushing to get my backhandspring back after my neck injury freshmen year, getting my lifeguard certification, and helping my mom with her bow business.

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

Being an ambassador has helped me to become a stronger base and has encouraged me to start tumbling again.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

That I can share fitness with others, and teach them how important it is outside of cheer to work out! It helps tons when it comes to practice and getting new skills and stunting.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHERS WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I would say totally do it! It’s a fun easy way to share such a great company. I’ve talked to so many people and have gotten advice on specific things!

WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

My huge water bottle, chapstick and my good luck bows / tags.

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

Child’s Play – Drake

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

Anything with your core!!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE?

“Lux in tenebris” meaning in Latin “light in darkness”. I always believe everything happens for a reason whether it be positive or negative, hence light in darkness.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

I have ridden horses for 6 years! I’ve stopped because of my busy cheer schedule.

I am hoping to cheer in college! I love, love, love, down south and hope to go to college and live down there!!

I love CHEERFIT! And I love the fact I can do the workouts anywhere. I always do them at work during my breaks or when people aren’t swimming.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Morgan! That is one of our favorite quotes too – we also believe that everything really  does happen for a reason and there is a bigger meaning behind all things that we might not see at first! We love how confident you are and the message you send to your fellow ambassadors, to keep up that confidence and go after what you want! We are proud to have you as a CHEERFIT Ambassador 🙂

“Work hard in silence, let your success be the noise.”

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: COLLIN PARSONS

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.

This week, we meet Collin – cheerleader who is very involved with the special needs team at his gym, and who also volunteers in his spare time.  His passion for motivating others is what makes him an outstanding ambassador for the CHEERFIT community. We are proud to share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Collin Parsons!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Two years ago, I broke my medicarple and I had a cast on my hand and fingers. During that injury, I had to compete at the Cheersport nationals so I competed with one hand – I had to build up strength in my right arm in order to tumble/ backspot with one hand.

I would say that during this experience, I learned that no matter what set-backs you are going through, don’t let it stop you from fulfilling your dreams.

Sometimes, you have to push through the pain in order to get to the goal you want to achieve.

– CHEERFIT Ambassador, Collin Parsons

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT AND HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS?

I am a junior staff coach for the special needs team at my gym. When doing this I push these athletes to do their best, to be strong individuals, and just to have fun while doing the sport we all love so much. I love coaching these amazing athletes because you never know what life changing experience you are going to have next.

I also volunteer my time as a member of bridge club at my school. Bridge club is where you stay after school with the special needs students and play games or do arts and crafts with them. These students always know how to put a smile on my face, no matter what mood I am in – I could go to bridge club and they would automatically put a giant smile on my face.

I love motivating others and helping others in need, that’s why I do what I do.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 

I made finals at the cheerleading worlds in 2016 in the senior large coed division. During this time, my team and I placed 8th in the world. I have countless national titles and I am pushing for more.

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

Being an ambassador has helped me in so many different aspects of life. During my CHEERFIT experience I have became stronger socially and physically. I am so much more confident in myself now because I am in shape, meeting new people, and helping others. The workouts that CHEERFIT provides have helped me become a better, more effective backspot. My jumps have gotten stronger and higher. And my tumbling has been BOOMING.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

My favorite part about being a CHEERFIT Ambassador is the community. The CHEERFIT family is extremely welcoming and loving. I love being able to help others evolve and I love meeting new people. I also love how CHEERFIT can help two strangers and make them best friends in just one meeting. It’s amazing to see what powerful things we can do as CHEERFIT Ambassadors.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHERS WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

Don’t wait, It is one hundred percent worth it. CHEERFIT will change your life in a matter of weeks. CHEERFIT is an amazing program and becoming an ambassador has been one of the most amazing experiences.

WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

I always keep ace bandages in my bag. I also always keep my lucky two dollar bill and my lucky penny. I’m extremely superstitious if it’s not that obvious.

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

All I do is win

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

Flutter kicks

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

My favorite food is chicken alfredo, I love lions and dogs, I want to be a real estate agent and a cheerleading gym owner when I graduate.

I am a hardworking, selfless person. I love helping others and inspiring others to do their best. While pushing myself to get better, I like to help other push themselves too.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Collin! We are SO thrilled to have you represent CHEERFIT. We love how motivated you are and eager to help others through volunteering, and how much you truly care about others. It definitely a rewarding experience. You said it perfectly. . .you better yourself while bettering others too . . . true win-win! 🙂

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: NAOMIE JONES

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.

This week, we meet Naomie, a cheerleader from Australia who tells us how she overcame an injury, how she continues to stay strong, and what inspires her to always do her absolute best. We are proud to share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Naomie Jones!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Hi! I’m Naomie @cheerleadernaomie and I’d like to talk about cheer and injury. Two years ago at the very beginning of my routine, a base jumped and landed on my foot. I felt something really bad happen like it had broken, but I kept going. At the end, they carried me off stage and my coach said I needed to perform in my second team because I was point flyer and had the hardest tumble pass, so I did. It hurt so bad, but I really didn’t want to let my team down.

Afterwards we found out that my foot had broken, some toes had dislocated, and the bone holding my ankle tendon had popped out to the opposite side of my foot. I spent 6 months in a moon boot, on my flying leg, and had surgery to cut my ankle tendon, remove a bone and reattach my ankle tendon to the correct bone. I was told my ankle would never be strong enough for me to fly again. I refused to believe that.

Two months after surgery I competed at NCA, and made it onto a Junior 4 team as a flyer. I had to work harder than I’d ever worked before. My right leg had no muscle from being in a moon boot for 6 months so I started doing a lot of cardio and strength, and stretched any time I could because even pulling a scorpion was too difficult. I’m now a better tumbler and flyer than I was before, I can do a needle on both legs, I am so strong and determined.

I love cheer so much that I wouldn’t accept someone saying I couldn’t do it ever again.

It wasn’t an easy road, lots of people didn’t think I would be good enough, people even said nasty things about me – but the thing is, I knew what I could do, and I had the support of my family and best friends, and that’s what makes all the difference. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard!

Love Naomie
xoxo

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT? WHAT CAUSES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU?

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

I’m a new ambassador, but being an ambassador I feel like I need to try harder to be my very best for the people who are looking up to me. I don’t want to let anyone down who supports me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I love being a CHEERFIT ambassador because I think my story is one that can inspire other people. Nobody has a perfect life where everything just works, and everyone can overcome the obstacles in their path by asking for help and by working their hardest.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

If you want to be an ambassador – work hard and believe in yourself. Also, be kind! One thing I hate is when people take competition off the mat. Bring it to the floor and leave it there. . . we are all part of the same cheer family!

WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

Bows (I always have a cheer bow in for training), drink bottle – it is so important to keep your body hydrated and perfume/spray – so my bases love me ;-). Can I also say lip balm?? Because I LOVE lip balm and gloss!

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

Fight Song always gets me pumped up!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

Ab work!! Especially crunches

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

I am a Pescetarian, I love animals so I don’t eat meat. I do eat some seafood though.

I have a cat called Squidge @squidge_cat and he is the cutest little squishy face ever! We rescued him from a shelter, he makes our family laugh every day!

My Mumma is the best cheer Mumma there is, she supports everyone and couldn’t be more proud of me, I love her so much, she’s my best friend. My Dad is a cool cheer Dad, he even does flight school with me! Haha and my little brother Trent cheers at a different club to me, he’s in level 2 this year and also a flyer. Buuuut, he needs to work on his flexibility.

My favourite food is calamari, my favourite colour is PINK, my best friend is Zoe and my favourite school subject is sport!

<3

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?

Part of me being CHEERFIT is that I also do other sports that aren’t just cheer. It helps me to develop my reflexes, body awareness, and develop muscles that I might not use as regularly as I do in cheer! I love netball, I run a lot, and I play soccer and cricket with my family.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Naomie! We are so proud of you for having such a positive outlook, even when it didn’t seem possible. We also totally agree that a supportive team, friends and family make everything possible! We hope you continue to share your cheer and fitness journey with us and that you always go after everything you want in life, full force!

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.

This week, we meet Ellie – a competitive cheerleader who shares with us her personal struggles and what she does to stay strong and how she never forgets to give back to her community. We are honored to present our CHEERFIT ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Ellie Meyer!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I was born with cleidocranial dysplasia. It’s a very rare syndrome that mainly affects your skeletal system. After I was born I had a lot of x-rays and scans and doctors told my parents I might not ever walk on my own, and I would most definitely never be an athlete.

Now, 13 years later, I play multiple sports for school and for fun. I am also on two competitive cheer teams. I discovered competitive cheer two years ago and found my passion. Because I have cleidocranial dysplasia, I have to take extra care of my body and my muscles, because they make up for what I’m missing in my skeleton.

Fitness and training is so important for me to be able to cheer. It allows me to continue my passion, with no excuses or limits.

I can do anything anyone else can, I just have to work a little harder to reach my goals.

Because of this, I’ve learned that the only one that can limit me is myself. When I stop focusing on reasons that I can’t do something and start working, amazing things happen.

– CHEERFIT Ambassador Ellie Meyer

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT AND HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS?

I am a straight A student and a member of National Junior Honor Society. I also volunteer at Operation Kindness, the largest no-kill animal shelter in North Texas. I want everyone to find what they are passionate about and go for it, with no limitations.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS?

I compete and am involved in softball, volleyball, track, cross country, sideline cheer and competitive cheer. There is rarely a time I’m not at practice or in the gym. When I’m not doing sports, I’m working on art, which is another huge passion of mine. I’ve had several pieces advance to state level competition for my school.

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

Being an ambassador helps keep me motivated and helps keep me honest. It’s easier for me to make healthy choices because I know that I am representing a lifestyle.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

My favorite part about being a CHEERFIT ambassador is having a forum to help people. Last year during Summit I pulled a muscle in my back and spent a whole summer in rehabilitation before I was able to work on getting my skills back. It was so hard and extremely frustrating. I want to help spread the message to other athletes that good fitness and conditioning will help limit those frustrating setbacks and injuries, and it helps you recover more quickly if you are injured.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHERS WHO WANT TO BECOME  CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

If you are thinking about becoming an ambassador, I would say go for it! There’s nothing more rewarding than to be able to help people and keep yourself motivated at the same time!

WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

I always carry my back balls, which are these two balls I lay on to stretch out my back, my teasing comb and makeup wipes!

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

I love yoga!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE?

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” – Goethe

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME!

I’m an older sister to two brothers and 3 rescue pups and two rescue kitties. I love God, my family, friends and I want to give back as much as I can.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?

The best feeling in the world is leaving it all on the mat with your best friends. Win or lose, doing your best and hearing the crowd get behind you… there is nothing better. The rush of adrenaline before you take the mat is thrilling. I’m also fairly certain cheerleaders are among the most superstitious athletes out there. I have so many good luck charms woven into my shoelaces. And I won’t replace my shoes mid season, even though they are worn through the bottom because we are undefeated and I can’t change out my lucky shoes!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story Ellie! You energy and passion is SO strong and we love how motivated you are in all you do. We are so lucky to have you as a CHEERFIT ambassador, and we look forward to hearing about your many accomplishments ahead! #CHEERFITstrong!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I have been an All-Star Cheerleader for 11 years. I was at GAGE in Blue Springs, MO for 8 years when I had to make the hardest decision of my cheer career to move on. I then went to Fury Athletics in Liberty, MO for one season, but it still wasn’t what I was looking for in an All-Star gym. . .so I chose to once again move on.

My mom and I looked for awhile to try and find the perfect gym that I could finish my All-Star career at, we decided on a gym called KC Cheer in Lenexa, KS which is an hour drive for us.

This was going to be a HUGE family commitment that we decided to take.

I have also constantly battled Bakers cysts on my knees and scoliosis, sometimes the pain is so bad it’s very hard to keep pushing through practice but I know I have to for my team.
