Yeah , absolutely . So basically where I came from , cheer was a male and female sport and now going into acro , it's a fully female sport which has been super special to me because I feel like it's already giving us that ability to be on the same playing field with every single person and more than anything . It's giving a way for female athletes to be elevated because I think as a cheerleader growing up , I mean , the amount of times I was told cheers on us for you're just waving your pom poms , you're doing this and that I , I can't even count the amount of times that I was hearing that since I was like five years old and I think where it came from was my own security knowing , like I know I can beat you in an athletic race and I don't need to prove it to you because as long as I know that within myself and my teammates know that and my coaches know that that's really all that matters .

And now being able to be an acro I've at least gotten rid of that part .
I am a current student athlete at the University of Oregon . Um , I am on the acrobatics and tumbling team . Akron and tumbling is an NCAA emerging sport .
Like I can hear your voice , bro . Yeah , and empowering . I feel like that's also very important .
You can monetize it in a variety of ways . The empowerment is real . And I talk about that all the time is the more the student athletes are empowered .
