Without confidence, we live in a constant state of “what if.” Ideas and visions are just that; without someone confident and consistent, they will remain intangible. Anyone can have a dream, but it takes a confident individual to pursue it. But what makes someone a confident individual? Confidence runs deeper than loving the way you look. It’s the ability to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. At Reno Revolution, we believe although confidence may come easily to some, to others, it’s a trait that must be learned. We believe in the power of building confidence through consistency.
Many years ago, I started my first season at a new cheerleading program where I had just 3 months to prepare for my first competition. I had a multitude of eyes on me, and unfortunately not all of them were supportive. Confidence wasn’t something that came easily to me. After navigating the closing of the program I grew up in, I felt the need to work 50 times harder than ever before. I watched my previous coach/owner make mistakes that resulted in losing her livelihood, family, and friends. I watched my friends and I go our separate ways after creating what seemed like an unbreakable bond.I was attempting to take all the hardships and turn them into something greater. The only thing I had a passion for was cheerleading. I was determined to carry on the legacy my previous coaches attempted to.
Although I had yet to hold much confidence, I worked harder for this competition than anything before. All the challenges the past year brought came down to this moment. Before I went on stage, my new coach and soon-to-be mentor pulled me aside and whispered to me, “WE are confident in our training; that’s why we know we can do this.” This message stuck with me through my childhood and into my adult life. Our motto at Reno Revolution is, and always will be, “confidence in training .” It’s working 110% at all times, so there is no room for doubt; you trained THAT hard.
This motto is my motivation to move to a new city and start my own cheerleading program. I am determined to share my learned lessons and pass them on to many generations. I can’t wait till athletes that train with me in Reno are able to pass on the lessons they learn with us to their kids and so forth. This program is immensely personal to me, and I can’t wait for it to become just as personal to you. The same coach that instilled the message in me that confidence is built through consistency now co-owns a nationally-ranked program. As a gym, we went on to win many national championships coaching together; now, I cannot wait to bring the immense energy and consistency we have in Las Vegas to Reno. I’ve had this vision since I was 15 years old, and now, I am turning my dream into a reality. I’m confident in this concept, and I can’t wait to share it with the city and athletes of Reno.
