Indeed. My youngest sister is a cheerleader and their team is quite good, so they're going to nationals. Of course, they're not going to win, but that's only because there are places in this country where there is nothing to do but excel at random-ass athletics. The point is to go and get better and have fun. How much "fun" it will be for my sister depends on whether her coach stops being a bitch and insisting that Devin's group has "an attitude" and isn't trying hard enough.
