30 Year Old Beginner Attempts NFL Cheerleading

I don't live my life with many regrets, but not getting into dance as a kid is definitely one of them. Up until recently, I thought that ship had sailed. So now I'm going to attempt NFL cheerleading as a 30 year old with no dance experience.

I was a cheerleader in college at USC (it's called Spirit Leaders) and that whole experience really came from a right place, right time. The program was in transition and didn't require a whole lot of actual 'cheer' experience. I loved the performance elements of it, which only proved to myself, if only I had gotten into dance, I would have loved it.

Cut to now...and I'm not really buying into this whole idea that it's too late to start once you're an adult. NFL cheer squads are more professional dancers than cheerleaders, which is how I landed on this challenge.

I'm now 30 and it's completely different than how I thought it'd feel. I thought I'd feel old. I thought I'd feel more complete, more confident. Instead, I feel like a cheese grated version of my former self.

The back half of my 20s were full of "I never thought's:" I never thought I'd have to get divorced; I'd never even considered having a stalker or a major health scare; and yet, here we are.

I'm ready for my 30s to continue to be full of "I never thoughts," but, you know, the good kind.
