9 Mats
9 Mats
2 minutes 30 seconds
They time has come
the crowd goes wild as we step out on the floor.
Hearts pounding, hands shaking
its harder than it seems.
Our hearts stop just as the music starts.
As we leave our worries behind, we realize these next 2 minutes and 30 seconds is our time to shine.
Performing with my team is the best part.
Giving it all we got in the short time we have.
To hit a perfect routine as we jump, stunt, and tumble. Flying 15 feet in the air knowing its my time to shine.
Giving it all we got to be sharp, tight, and light.
2 minutes and 30 seconds is a short amount of time to perform as a team, not just as one or two.
Together we have a goal, as the trophy is in sight, wanting it more and more just to be crowned champions based upon the short 2 minutes and 30 seconds we performed on the floor.
