Cheerleader of the Week 2017: Cortney

Unlike many cheerleaders, Cortney didn’t fall in love with dance when she was young. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

“I was terrible at dancing when I was little,” she says. “My mom said I looked like a sad puppy behind glass at a pet store when I was at dance practice. I just didn’t want to be there. I just wasn’t feeling it.”

And she wasn’t exactly outgoing either.

“I was also very shy, so shy. I don’t think I talked to very many people,” she says. “I was just very scared of everyone. I was very scared just to open up.”
