Q&A SHAYLA Miami Dolphins Cheerleader
What Pop Warner team did you cheer for? SHAYLA: I cheered for the Liberty City Warriors in Miami.
What was your favorite part of cheering for Pop Warner? SHAYLA: My favorite part of cheering for Pop Warner was that we were all a close-knit family even though we weren’t blood relatives. The team parents brought everybody snacks and drinks so we could eat together after practices and games. All the families knew each other and there was always an uproar of support coming from the stands. It was just an amazing environment to be immersed in.
What are your hobbies outside of cheerleading? SHAYLA: My main hobby outside of cheerleading is working out. If possible, I try to go to the gym 3-5 times a week and I push myself hard because I truly enjoy it. Not only does it keep me active, it also keeps my spirits lifted. Another hobby of mine is singing. I’ve been singing since I was a little girl in the church choir. It’ll always be a passion of mine and I don’t think I could ever stop singing. Dance, of course, is another hobby of mine. Without dance, I don’t know where I’d be. 50 / INSIDE Pop Warner
