  As some of you may know, I was a cheerleader.

• 00:05

  Okay, whatever.

• 00:06

  I was a cheerleader, a competitive cheerleader.

• 00:09

  But before that, I was a gymnast.

• 00:12

  And I liked gymnastics.

• 00:15

  I wasn't great.

• 00:16

  It was kind of an intense environment.

• 00:18

  I didn't last very long there.

• 00:20

  However, I did pivot to competitive cheerleading.

• 00:23

  And competitive cheerleading has some similarities to gymnastics.

• 00:29

  And so I've always loved the sport.

• 00:31

  You know, I don't have it in me to be, I think, like a really competitive, high level athlete.

• 00:38

  Like, that was never in my DNA.

• 00:42

  Did I want it to be in my DNA?

• 00:43

  Yes.

• 00:44

  I just did not have it in me.

• 00:47

  And I've always been so fascinated by athletes who do make it there, because for me, it was.

• 00:54

  I don't want to say it was impossible, but it kind of was impossible for me.

• 00:58

  I don't think that it's for everyone.

• 01:01

  I don't think everyone has it in them to be a high level athlete.
