Same! Mom and I went to worlds in 2011 and it was great! I think she missed cheer as much as I did after I graduated in 06. :pI feel like your daughter is me. I wear my cheer shirts to school and have to explain them to everyone, my town is so small its known for unemployment rates too haha :p I love cheering and I'm saving up to take myself to worlds this year, maybe when she is old enough the two of you can save together and make a great vacation!! :)
The OP is me to a T. None of my friends ever did cheer, or understood it or my love for it (still don't), but they came to competitions to support me nonetheless. I'm still best friends with most of my friends from elementary/high school and while they still don't understand my love for the sport, they are planning on coming to some of my i4 competitions. I wear the shirts from other teams and always get the questions, but I enjoy telling people about them. I've always felt cheer kind of gave me an opportunity to be and do something out of the box, and I'm so grateful for all it has taught me over the years. I participated in other sports in high school and college (field hockey mostly) but there's something special about cheer that keeps me coming back for more. CoachKelly props to your daughter for being strong enough to know what she likes and sticking with it despite it not being the 'popular' thing to do!
