Tumbling Through Life

Tumbling Through Life
Podcast Description
I am so excited to introduce my next guest—my infamous Puggy, Ava! Now, let me take you back a bit. Ava was one of seven variations of ‘Ava' on the team her freshman year, and with that many versions of the same name, we obviously had to get creative with nicknames. And that's where 'Pug' came in. I’m sure she probably slightly hates it (because let’s be real, ‘Ava’ fits her too), but she’ll always be Pug to me.
Ava has such a unique and inspiring story, and I can’t wait to dive into her experience here at Skyridge. She was one of only three freshman flyers in her class, and she really hit the ground running with a strong start to her high school cheer career. Today, we’re going to talk about the highs and lows of flying and what it really takes to push through at an elite level.
I know this story is going to be so insightful for athletes, especially when it comes to confidence and mindset. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or faced a challenge that felt too big to overcome, this episode is definitely for you!"
