Argos Cheerleaders - Rachelle

 

 

Years on Team: 4

Birthday: October 29

Sign: Scorpio

Favourite Argo Memory:  There are so many but this year’s Cheerleader Boot Camp was fun when we had the rookies put on a rookie show for all the vets. I have to say I have never laughed so much in my whole life. I didn’t know any of these girls very well and they made me feel like we had been friends for years. They are a great group of girls and this year has just begun. I can't wait to see what this year has for us!!

Occupation: Florist / wedding planner

Education: High school diploma/ Certificate for wedding planning from George Brown College.

Most Embarassing Moment: With the Argos, my most embarrassing moment has to be the famous cheerleader pile up of 2007. In the middle of the field, with 30,000 people watching, 3 other girls and I bailed to the turf right before a routine and with refs screaming at us as we delayed the game. What a messy time.

Do you speak any other languages (if so which)?: I know basic sign language.

Favourite vacation spot:  Anywhere with hot weather a beach and great company.

What do you like to do in your spare time?:  Like almost every girl, I love to shop, mostly for shoes. I also like being with my friends or just relaxing in the backyard with a book and some not so healthy snacks.

Workout/nutrition tip:  I find that nothing works better for me than cardio. I get the most out of a workout when I start with a run or intense stretch.

When did you start dancing?:  I started gymnastics when I was 10 then cheerleading when I was 14.

Why do you like being an Argos Cheerleader?: This list could go on forever.  The friends I have made since being on this team are really special. I now have girls I will be friends with for the rest of my life and that’s so hard to find. Also the chance to perform in front of thousands is a feeling like no other and that can never be duplicated.

Any pets (if so what name)?:  A lab/shepherd mix named Tippy!!

If we could make one dream come true it would be?: I think the most important thing is to be happy with yourself and enjoy all the things this life has to offer. If one dream could come true, it would be to be happy in the time I am here because I don’t want to waste it on being angry, worried or disappointed.  I am having too much fun to let things like that get in my way.

Who is your role model?:  Hands down my momma!!  Those who have had the chance to meet her know she is the most strong, caring and understanding woman. She is the reason I am on this team because she pushed me to believe I could be here when I didn’t think I belonged. Since being here, she has become the team mom and never misses a game.  She treats everyone with respect and that is so rare these days. She is always open-hearted and I know she has raised me to be a good person and I thank her so much!

Favourite Film, Song, Actor or Musician:  My favourite film from when I was young is Mortal Kombat and now I'm older, it’s Anchorman. I can never pick a favourite song  but like anything that makes me sing in my car. My favourite actor is obviously Will Ferrell.
