INTERVIEW WITH TESSA
WHAT’S YOUR ROLE ON YOUR PCL TEAM?
- I am a flyer, and my specialty is in baskets!
WHAT’S ONE MOMENT FROM TRYOUTS OR TRAINING THAT MADE YOU THINK, “WOW, THIS IS THE PRO LEVEL”?
- One moment from training that made me think “this is pro level” is when we were learning our double back baskets and double front dismounts. Double flipping in cheerleading is not new, but it’s something that the coaches I looked up to most used to compete when they were at their prime. Kind of a “I made it” moment, realizing I’m finally at the level of the people that inspired me to get to where I am.
WHAT SKILL OR ELEMENT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED TO HIT THIS SEASON?
- I can’t say much, but I’m most excited to hit our new routine at our next meet!
WHAT’S ONE FUN OR UNEXPECTED FACT ABOUT YOU THAT FANS WOULD NEVER GUESS?
- If you know me, then you know I’m a 6x world champion. But, an unexpected fact about me is that I used to race go-karts and dirt bikes when I was younger.
WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO FANS AS WE HEAD INTO THE FIRST PCL SEASON?
- As we head into the first PCL season, I guess my message to the fans would be that this is only the beginning of a whole new world of cheerleading. It’s only going to get better from here, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds!
