This is because in the course you climb up a tree using a ladder and some stakes already placed in the tree to get up to a platform about 30 feet above ground. From there, still attached to the harness, you jump out from the platform

I fell in love with the sport and within time, my passion towards it grew even more. Cheerleading consumed my life, it was my only focus. I was fortunate enough to grow up with coaches that pushed me to reach limits I did not even know I had, as well as teammates whom I shared the same passion towards the sport

At five or six years old I was not competitively cheering, instead I was staring up adorningly at my cousin- who is 13 years my senior – while she cheered on her high school football team. It was because of her that I started my own long journey in cheerleading.
