These cheerleaders, far from a college in small-town Texas, are making their mark on the world, too—and they're doing it at 30, 40, even 50 years old.
I've always been into sports—I grew up running track and playing basketball, tennis—but I never saw myself as a cheerleader. In college, I wasn't playing any sports, but I still trained like an athlete, lifting weights and running. When I moved to New York City for law school, I saw a bodybuilding competition for the first time and decided to try.
The two are so different in other ways as well: In fitness competitions, it's cutthroat, and there's no trusting other people—you're out there all alone, and the whole thing is based on the impression you make for 10 seconds vs. your skill or overall wellbeing. Cheerleading is all about the team, about taking care of your body and your teammates. It's about trust and working together—because if not, everything falls apart.
