We take a closer look at what it really looks like to be a competitive cheerleader. Laura talks about the physical and mental demands of the sport, how cheerleading isn't just about pom-poms and cheering for a team but a high-intensity, competitive sport that requires strength, precision, and hours of hard work. From gravity-defying stunts to perfectly synchronised routines, cheerleaders push the limits of what’s possible with their bodies and their teams.

We also tackle a deeply important and often overlooked issue in the world of sports — eating disorders.

Laura opens up about her personal journey with an eating disorder — from the struggles faced, the road to recovery, and the impact it’s had on cheering and personal life.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that, behind every athlete, there’s a human story. We hope that by sharing Laura's experience, we can shed light on the challenges of eating disorders in sports and encourage those in need to seek help.
