Yes to all of this^^^
I think a lot of the crazy we saw when it came to her was her mother. from everything I've ever heard she is a great kid. I think she got in over her head with Lionheart and at least she is learning from it.
Before there was widespread use of social media and "cheerlebrity" was a thing, Bucky O'Leary cheered at WC, TG, and SOT. When he got ready to leave Spirit a parent asked him why and he said "I want to open my own gym someday and the best way to learn how to run a successful program is to be part of a successful program." If that's what her motivation is then I give her a slow clap because instead of pointing fingers at everyone and blaming, she's adulting and figuring how to do it right.
I was LITERALLY thinking of Bucky when I heard she was going to Cheer Athletics. I want to say he showed up on FierceChat one night a long time agao and told us the same thing. I was like "hmmmm this sounds more strategic, like a business move, than anything. Sounds like what Bucky did."
It's such a smart idea though and I'm excited for her. She is a lot more mature than a lot of people in the world. She'll go far if she can fail and learn from it. And if she can take it upon herself to figure out what she needs to do to succeed after that without blaming others for the failure. Mad props.
