Mia Farrow '24 Recruiting Profile

As a student athlete, I value attending a university with school spirit, student involvement, and a strong athletics program. I want to carry over my enthusiasm and love for cheerleading from the high school sidelines into the collegiate level. I want to continue my growth as an athlete and student, and have a team that pushes me to succeed and strive for my goals. As a sideline cheerleader, I am highly energetic, encouraging, and a pumped up teammate. There is never a time where I am standing still, not cheering on my team. I love when I can get other cheerleaders to jump and yell with me. It just takes that one person to get the energy going, and I always tend to be that person! 

Academically, I have always pushed myself to go beyond others. I am an A/B student and currently the Historian of Honor society. I have always been involved in honors, dual credit and AP classes. My high involvement in student organizations is something I strive to carry over into the university I attend. 

As a sideline and competitive cheerleader, I have learned how to pick up and learn quickly. Being coachable, listening well, and having a good attitude has always been part of my mentality. If a coach or teammate expects something of me, I will give them nothing less. I've never struggled with mental blocks, so I can step outside of my comfort zone because I'm not afraid to fail. In order to be the best cheerleader I can be, I continue to push my abilities and attitude. I enjoy seeing others succeed, so I often encourage others to strive to be the best athletes, students, and people they can be as well. 

I have always been a powerful tumbler due to my strength and control. As a powerlifter, I have learned how to carry those strengths into cheerleading. Powerlifting has helped me understand how to utilize my body properly for stunting and tumbling and where to build strength in my body where needed. I can help my future team and show them how to build strength and stamina and utilize the muscles throughout the body for peak performance.
