You say that you want it
But do you want it
like we do
Oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
You're gonna find out soon
Get ready
better hold on tight
We been waiting on this moment
all our lives
One shot
better do it right
Ain't no question
in my mind
We got this
'cause we're fearless
We'll see you at the top
hey hey
No fear
hear the end is near
We're ready for our shot
We got this
'cause we're fearless
We'll see you at the top
No fear
hear the end is near
We're ready
(gentle music)
So, this is really happening?
Yeah, new house, new school,
new everything.
You'll make new friends.
But not like you.
MIA: Mighty Mites won't be
the same without you.
I'll miss it. I'll miss us.
Promise you won't forget me?
Never. You're my best friend.
Always.
Come on, Anna, let's go!
I can't wait to see my new room!
(Patrick groans)
Hey, Mia.
Time to wrap it up, kiddo.
Ah, we gotta get goin'.
Hey, you'll find your thing,
okay?
- Promise?
- Promise.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(sad music)
(bicycle clicks away)
Hey, kiddo. Wanna ride shotgun?
Come on. Here.
Gotta keep up with us, honey.
(scoffs)
Oh, it's on.
MICHAEL: Shotgun. I
got here first.
(rock music)
(grunts)
MICHAEL: Scoot!
I'm not sitting in the middle.
(grunts)
ANNA: Ugh, no way!
Your smelly feet can stay
on your side.
Ha!
(laughter)
MICHAEL: They're not smelly.
(seatbelt clunking)
No! No, no, no, no, no!
No, no! Stop! Hey. Hey, h*!
MICHAEL: They're my lucky socks.
ANNA: Park it, squirt.
MICHAEL: Dad!
(engine revs loudly)
(tires squeal)
PATRICK: They say every kid
eventually finds their thing.
With Anna, we tried it all:
soccer, horseback riding,
Tae Kwon Do, softball.
Each one came and went
like the seasons.
Then we moved. New house.
New school.
Everything unfamiliar.
I could see it in her eyes.
She didn't just miss
her friends,
she missed belonging.
I thought maybe she was just...
a sampler,
but then, she saw them.
The flips, the chants,
the bows,
and something in her
just clicked.
It wasn't just about cheer,
it was about finally feeling
like she belonged.
JENNIFER: Okay, yes, I got it.
I'll have everything ready
on time.
Mom! Mom!
Okay, no problem.
I gotta run,
I gotta pick up my kiddo.
Hi!
They have cheer tryout
this week.
It's a real competition team
with stunts, tumbling,
the works.
If we make it to nationals,
we go to Disney World!
Ugh... Cheerleading?
Yes! And it's not like
when I did the Mighty Mites.
This is next level,
like, ESPN level.
(scoffs)
ESPN?
(chuckles)
Really.
(sighs)
Oh, you know, honey,
are you sure?
You know, those cheerleaders,
they don't always have
the best reputation.
Are you sure that's really
what wanna do?
I mean, all that drama,
the cliques.
It's just not exactly
what I had imagined for you.
Mom, that's just in the movies!
These girls are athletes,
they train like crazy!
I've been watching videos.
It's legit!
Oh, honey.
You know, I am swamped
at work this week.
I can't take you to tryouts,
but, you know,
maybe your dad can.
Yes, he totally will!
I know he will.
(sighs)
Okay, just make sure
you're serious about it. Okay?
You know, we've done
the soccer thing,
the dance thing,
the martial arts thing!
I'm serious,
that stuff was baby stuff.
This is the big leagues.
Okay. Talk to your dad.
But remember...
...if you're in,
you're all in.
- Promise?
- Promise!
JENNIFER: Oh!
I'm putting on my make up
Take another shot
of all the good stuff
Soon I'm gonna wake up
I, I, I, I
I am talking
Forgetting that nobody is
watching
(gasps)
Oh, no! Baseball practice!
I-I completely forgot!
It's okay,
I'm riding Jayden's dad.
Dad worked it out.
(sighs)
You are the best. You know that?
Hey, knock it outta the park
for me?
I'll try.
Don't trip on your shoelaces,
squirt.
At least I don't have
to wear glitter.
Whatever.
Dad! Dad!
Whoa, whoa, slow down.
Nobody panic.
Hey, hey, nothing's on fire.
Dinner is handled.
- Oh, you are a miracle.
- Mm-hmm.
My meeting ran over,
then the team in LA blew up
my inbox,
and now I've got
a thousand emails
- that I have to--
- Ah, ah, we eat first,
and save the world later.
Guess what? Guess what?
Guess what?
Okay, slow down, champ.
What happened?
ANNA: Cheer tryouts.
I saw the flyer at school.
It's a real team.
Competitions, routines,
even a shot at nationals
in Disney World!
Can I do it, please?
PATRICK: You really want
to cheer again?
Yes! And it's not like
when I did the Mighty Mites.
This is serious.
Uniforms, the whole thing.
Honey, are you sure
we want to go down this road?
I mean, I've heard
how these squads can be...
more drama than a soap opera!
Mom, that was like
a hundred years ago.
It's different now!
Well, what about your MMA?
I can still do that,
but this...
this is the big leagues.
- Mm-hmm.
- Tryouts are Friday,
and Mom said you could take me.
She did?
Well, I've got meetings
all week.
And don't forget,
we've got dinner
with my sister next Thursday.
And I'm sorry to volunteer you.
You know, I figured
you're the one
with the flexible hours.
Flexible-ish.
But I'll get you there.
Yes! You won't regret it.
Just remember,
dinner next Thursday.
- Mm-hmm.
- You promise?
Yeah, yeah, Thursday.
I got it. Promise.
Hey, hey, eyes on me.
Whatever happens in there,
you come out with your head
held high. You got it?
Got it.
You're strong, you're ready,
and you're mine.
That's already a win!
(chuckles)
(upbeat music playing)
(blows out breath)
Gym dad on the sidelines
trying to bring the heat
Pom-pom spine
but I'm kicking my feet
Don't touch back foot
I'm watching in a trance
I can't even clap
but I'm stuck in a dance
Oh, my gosh, Dad!
We've got a natural flyer
on our hands.
She is fearless and flexible.
Exactly what we need.
They picked me, Dad!
They really picked me!
Of course they did.
You know, we could always use
more parent support.
Anna says that
you're into photography?
Mind joining us
for a few rehearsals
and grabbing some shots?
Um, yeah, sure!
- Great.
- All right, let's go, champ.
Ladies and gentlemen
(cheerleaders cheering)
I'm so excited
Are you excited
We're going to nationals
Are you excited
Are you ready to bring it
Y'all, what the heck
does he think he's doing?
I mean, this isn't
Little League, for Pete's sake.
- Hmm.
- Ugh.
Coach Cutie, look at those buns!
He's like a well-seasoned
John Travolta.
(laughter)
Girl, if awkward had a mascot,
it'd be him
in them orange shoes.
(laughter)
I think it's sweet!
Most dads don't even show up.
At least he's trying.
Trying is for tryouts. Okay?
This is competition season,
he better not slow us down.
Oh Lord, Linda.
If he survives Linda, y'all,
I think we gotta pitch in
and get him a booster.
Oh, never mind, Linda.
Just sit back, relax
and enjoy this show.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh! Hold on!
(laughter)
Told you it'd be fun.
Yeah, time of my life.
Guys, we should take a picture!
GIRLS: Okay!
PATRICK: I thought I was
just helping out.
Come on, Dad,
you're part of this too.
All right, girls,
let's get together!
PATRICK: That day, that photo,
it was the first time
I realized...
this wasn't just cheer.
It was the start of something
much bigger.
ANNA: The girls loved you!
Oh, I don't know about that.
I was just trying to take
some pictures
and not k*ll my back.
No, seriously!
You were amazing!
Coach Christine even said so.
Would you ever, like,
maybe help her coach us?
Coach?
Um...
Sure, why not?
I mean, it can't be
that different
from coaching soccer, right?
I'm speeding up it's time
I wanna slow down slow down
I'm climbing up that's right
I'm gonna show out
I'm gonna show out
(footsteps stomp up stairs)
Hey, hey, hey! Not so fast!
Dinner's almost ready.
How was school, honey?
Fine.
Wow, somebody's dramatic.
Did you run out of crayons?
Leave me alone, squirt!
That's my line.
(soft music)
What happened?
(sad music)
Kids at school...
they said I don't have
a real mom.
You're not unwanted, Michael.
You're chosen.
Same as me.
But I still... I still wonder
about our real mom.
I want to find her someday.
JENNIFER: Oh, sweetheart.
Hey, listen.
You know, when you're ready,
we'll...
we'll all go back
to Guatemala together
and find out more
about where you're from
and I'll help you look.
You know, you both deserve
those answers.
But I don't need to look.
You and Dad, you're the only
parents I've ever wanted.
This is home.
I'm glad you feel that way,
sweetie,
but you know,
if Mikey wants answers,
we can help him find them.
MICHAEL: Are you guys sure
you're happy you adopted us?
Hey! Whoa, whoa.
Hey, listen, are you kidding?
You two are the best thing
that ever happened to us!
So, what's for dinner?
Meatloaf.
Ew.
(stomach gurgles)
Even his stomach knows better,
Mom.
Mm-hmm.
Please, anything but meatloaf.
Pizza? Chinese?
I'll even eat broccoli!
(laughter)
Okay, it's juried up,
pizza it is!
(laughter)
Best dad ever!
Uh, excuse me?
What am I? Chopped liver?
PATRICK: No, of course not,
honey.
That's what your meatloaf
tastes like.
(laughter)
Okay, fine. Fine.
Next time, you all can cook.
ANNA: Sure, as long
as it's not meatloaf.
(Patrick laughing): Yeah.
Hey, hurry back with the pizza,
honey!
Okay, kidding. Kidding.
Let's go.
(bright music)
Arms tight, tumblers.
Let me see a toe touch
into a back walkover.
TUMBLERS: One, three, five,
seven.
One, three, five.
Graydon tripped over
his shoelaces again!
(laughter)
(cheerleaders calling)
It doesn't make sense
To try and slow down now
We've come so far
We can't stop now
Let's give them a show
that they'll never forget
Give them a show
that they'll never forget
Oh we can't stop now
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
we can't stop
Yeah, she's got pep now,
but let's see
if she still has it
when the Christine gets done
with her.
Oh, come on, Linda,
that's heart right there.
I like seeing her push through.
Hmm, kinda reminds me
of my third husband, you know,
always flipping
and never landing straight.
What are we doing?
Oh, right. Go, Wildcats!
- Ready.
- Third husband?
How many husbands have you had,
anyway?
I'm not putting my business
on the streets,
but let's just say
I got my eye on one more.
FOOTBALL COACH: All right,
Let's go! Run it back!
(cheering)
TAMMY: That's my Lizzie.
You got this, baby girl. Ooh!
Grace of a baby giraffe.
(chuckles)
Bless her heart.
That girl has got two left feet.
Oh, my god, worst flyer
we've ever had,
and somehow she's still
on the team.
Well, she's just saving
the best for the competition.
You'll see.
Well, I guess miracles do
happen.
I'll start a prayer chain.
She's gonna need it.
(laughter)
Tighter, Anna!
Let's do it again. Focus!
COACH: Red line and drive.
All right, boy, come on.
Ready, go!
Come on, come on, come on.
Twenty says he pulls her out
before regionals.
Twenty says he runs
before the third meltdown.
(chuckles)
Either way, I'll drink to that.
It's the same stuff,
it's so boring!
When are we gonna do
something different?
I know the repetition can be
boring,
but you'll get to the big stuff
soon enough.
Look, practice is where you do
all the hard work, right?
And then during the game,
they just want you
to cheer on the team.
I mean, coach just wants
everything tight, that's all.
How much tighter can we get?
We've done the same flips
a gazillion times.
We'll never get
to the next level
doing this basic stuff.
You really want to level up,
don't you?
Yeah, and I'm gonna work hard
until I get there.
All right, that's my girl.
But hey,
give the coach a little bit
of grace, all right?
She just wants what's best
for the squad.
Come on now, I'm starving.
Get a Big Mac. Whopper.
Something.
(exhales)
CHRISTINE: Patrick,
we are thrilled
to have you officially join us
as assistant coach.
The girls already love you,
and I know that you'll be
a great asset.
Practice schedule attached.
I guess I'm a cheer coach now.
CHRISTINE: Let's go, Wildcats!
(sighs)
(typing into keyboard)
Hey.
Looks like it's going to be
another late night, huh?
Yeah. I'm sorry, babe.
Duty calls, I missed a deadline.
Now I'm playing catch-up.
It's okay.
Good night.
Good night.
(quirky music)
So, I'm a cheer coach.
Okay.
How to coach...
...cheering.
"Step one, realize these are
athletes
and work with them accordingly."
"Proper techniques."
Oh, that looks painful.
I don't even know
how to coach that. Okay.
This is gonna be... a wild ride.
TEAM: One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. One.
All right, girls, take a knee.
PATRICK: Yeah.
(sighs)
I don't think I'm qualified
for this.
You've got heart.
That's half the job.
You'll need to do
some safety training.
I've emailed you the info,
but for now,
just follow my lead.
Oh.
You have got to be kidding me.
Not even a little.
Uniform policy, Coach.
I thought you might like this.
Oh, honey.
The team thought you may want
your very own cheer bow.
All right, girls,
say hello to your new
assistant coach...
Coach Patrick!
TEAM: Hey, Coach Patrick!
Hi, girls. Oh, my gosh.
(upbeat music)
Seven, eight. Get tough!
Attack!
Make them shake in their knees.
'Cause we're the Mighty Flyers--
Is she still practicing?
Yeah, well,
I've never seen her stick
with anything for so long.
I mean, after a couple of weeks,
I thought she'd quit.
I know, me too!
It's kind of shocking.
Yeah, I'm really proud of her.
I mean,
even when she's frustrated,
she just sticks with it,
keeps going.
(gargling)
Maybe it's not that shocking.
(spits)
You know what?
Maybe, this is just, you know,
she's growing up.
She's trying to show us
that she can handle things,
you know,
even when they get tough.
Yeah, yeah.
Just hope she don't put
too much pressure on herself.
Well, she'll be okay.
And, I mean, even if she's not,
you know,
we will do what we always do
and just keep supporting her,
right?
Yeah, you're probably right.
But it really is amazing,
isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
(loud thump)
Sounds like a toe touch.
Hold on, hold on.
Was there any crying?
Any crying?
- Nope, yep.
- No crying. We're good.
Carry on, all right.
(chuckles)
Carry on.
Ah, it's good, huh?
It really is, beef jerky floss.
- Isn't it amazing?
- I never thought-
Isn't it amazing?
- Beef jerky everything.
- I'm so glad you like it!
I've got this.
She's just not into it, is she?
No, it's the repetition
every week. She's bored.
Hmm.
It's like she's waiting
for something bigger.
Yeah, it's just...
The basics just aren't enough
for her anymore.
- Oh, that sounds familiar.
- Hmm?
Kind of like when you used
to play baseball, remember?
You were always in search
for the next big challenge.
Yeah, well, okay.
Could get where she's coming
from, all right?
I just want something
to come along
before she gets burned out
and loses her shot
at something big.
Yeah, she'll get there.
She's too determined not to.
Yeah, well, she needs something
to keep her going
or you and I both know
she'll be ready to quit.
No, I don't think so.
Not this time.
But she's just...
she's just too determined.
I really think she's going
to stick it out.
I hope you're right.
Oh, yeah, there it is!
- There it is.
- Oh, yeah!
- There it is. Great job.
- Woo, woo, woo! Great job!
Keep it tight and then stretch!
- Yeah!
- Yeah. Nice!
I taught her that stretch.
You did great!
They look awesome.
- I was sore for a week.
- Yay!
But I did teach her that. Yeah.
Stop it!
We had a really great
practice today.
JENNIFER: Oh, yeah?
What made it so great?
Well, we finished the routine.
And Coach Christine said
we're totally ready
for the first competition
in October.
She really thinks we have a shot
at winning.
Wow!
Now I see why you've been
working so hard!
Yep, seeing you stick with it
is a big step up for you, Anna.
It is. And everybody's been
working so hard.
We're gonna win. I just know it.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
October.
When's the competition?
October 10th.
It's at the arena in Trenton.
Oh, no... October 10th?
That's the same weekend
as my sister's wedding!
Oh, boy.
ANNA: Wait, what?
Oh, honey, that's the weekend
my sister's getting married.
We're all supposed to be
in the Berkshires.
But... I can't miss it.
It's everything
we've worked for.
If we don't compete,
we don't get a shot at Disney.
Yeah, but honey...
we got to go to the wedding.
Can't we do both?
Oh, Anna...
it's a five-hour drive.
You know, we can't be
two places at once.
Okay, let's just figure
this out, um...
I'll tell you what,
how about you and Michael
go to the wedding,
and Anna and I will stay home
and we'll go to the competition?
I don't know, it's, you know,
it's my sister's wedding.
I wanted all of us
to go together.
Of course, honey, we get that,
but...
she's been working for this
all year.
This is not a weekend hobby
for her anymore, it-it...
it's really important to her.
ANNA: I can't miss it.
All right, all right.
You're right. You know what?
You two stay here.
Go to the competition.
Michael and I will go
to the wedding.
Yay! I get to see Aunt Suzie
and eat lots and lots of cake.
You see? I'm glad somebody's
glad about this wedding.
Oh, okay, I'll explain it
to her,
and it looks like we have
a plan.
Look, this obviously isn't
perfect,
but it does work for everyone.
And we can do a family trip
to see Suzie and her new hubby
soon.
Or, or we could invite them
to Disney
when the squad wins
the competition.
Oh, okay!
I'm going to hold you to that.
Oh, we're gonna win. Trust me.
All right.
How do you want your burgers?
(birds chirping)
Whoa, Mr. GQ!
(chuckles)
Handsome enough to steal
the show.
Hey, look at this.
That is a little something
special for your suit.
A reminder of where
you came from.
That makes it one-of-a-kind.
Thanks, Dad.
I'll wear it proud.
All right. Have fun, buddy.
Oh, running late, running late,
running late.
Oh, okay, honey,
don't forget,
you need to take Anna shopping
for some things
she needs for practice, okay?
Don't forget.
And then, oh! And then
the curling party afterwards.
- Shopping. Check.
- Yep.
Curling party. Hey, wait,
what's a curling party?
You got this!
I believe in you. Love you!
Curling party. Why curling?
I don't... curl.
(upbeat music)
We wake up at night
'cause we want to have fun
In the early morning light
we want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
We wake up at night
'cause we want to have fun
In the early morning light
we want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
Ooh Dad, I need some of these
to practice.
Coach said we all need
a little more support.
Uh, look, support, yeah.
Um... uh...
How about these?
These look supportive.
Those are way too big.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
- First time, huh?
- Yeah.
- Can I help you with that?
- Yes.
- Yes. Thanks.
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
We want to have fun
Okay, so curling party, huh?
Mm-hmm.
As in hair curling?
Mm-hmm.
Okay. I didn't even know
they still did that.
Yep.
Well, um...
how long is this gonna last?
Dad, it's a sleepover.
Sleepover. Oh, okay.
All right, got it. Um...
Do you need any more supplies?
Nope.
Oh.
Okay, Dad, just be cool.
Be-be cool?
Please!
I practically invented cool...
right before it went
out of style.
(sighs)
All right, let's go.
Okay, curling party.
Curling party. There's that.
Here's your uniform stuff.
Do you need pom-poms
for curling parties?
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Okay. Ooh, ooh!
I brought cookies.
Everybody's gonna love them.
Cookies, cookies.
Support bra, that's scar-
Oh, ha-ha! Cookies.
Okay, let's go!
PATRICK: This is exciting.
Are you excited?
ANNA: Mm-hmm.
I'd even let you curl my hair,
except it's too short.
I mean, unless you think
you could curl it, do you?
No? Well, I'll just help out.
Excited? Oh, hey!
Patrick.
Oh, Linda. Yeah.
I mean, curling party, huh?
Well, we got all
of Anna's stuff.
And oh, oh! I brought cookies
for all the girls.
I'll help hand 'em out.
We've got it covered. It's a...
it's a mom's event tonight.
Oh. Well, yeah, but I mean,
I figured you could maybe
use a hand, like--
Well, it's curling night.
Remember? It's moms only.
- Oh.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
ANNA: Bye, Dad.
Thanks for the ride.
Uh...
Yeah, yeah. Bye-bye.
Moms only.
Got it.
Fine. Moms only.
(mocking): It's a curling party,
Patrick. Moms only.
(quirky music)
Guess it's just me and you,
sweets.
You know what?
You don't want my cookies? Fine.
How do you like that?
(muffled): Pathetic.
I'm talking to a dessert.
(soft music)
So, spill,
how's the new school?
Crazy. Everyone's taller,
the hallways smell
like tater tots.
Oh, and guess what?
There's a real cheer team.
Like, real uniforms,
not just Mighty Mites?
Yeah, like bows the size
of small planets.
And stunts. Real stunts.
Whoa. Did you try out?
I did, and... I made flyer.
No way!
You're going to be flying
over everyone's head.
Yeah, which is cool,
unless I throw up, up there.
Anna, did you steal
my socks again?
Why would I want
your stinky socks?
Because you wore them
last week for lucky practice?
Some things never change.
Anyways, ignore him.
I still miss you,
but I guess this place doesn't
totally stink.
Anna, I want my socks back!
Good. I'm glad you found
your thing.
(giggles)
Dad, I don't feel so good.
Oh, hey buddy, that's no good.
We got a game tonight.
MICHAEL: Not me. No way.
JENNIFER: Oh, no. No game
for this one.
I talked to Coach Christine.
She's covered.
Oh. Really? Okay.
Well, if she insists,
I guess I will stick around
and supervise the patient.
Soup. I need soup.
Oh, soup. Coming right up.
Doctor's orders.
Oh, oh, hey, wait a second.
You two need to behave yourself.
Anna and I have a game
to catch.
(sneezes)
Ew, keep your cooties
over there!
I don't have cooties.
Well, that's too late.
It's official ruling. Cooties.
This is the best sick day ever.
You're weird, Dad.
Well, maybe, but it takes one
to know one.
Now, let me show you something
that works every time,
all right?
(quirky music)
Make a nice point.
Insert.
Make a nice point.
And insert.
All right, now,
you want to watch a movie?
- Yeah.
- Movie.
(relaxed sigh)
Nice.
Did you mean soup
or did you mean nachos?
- Nachos.
- That's what I thought.
CHRISTINE: Welcome
to summer training camp.
You ready for this?
Uh, yeah, I guess,
as I'll ever be.
All right, girls, burpees.
(chuckles)
- Get in there.
- Huh? Oh.
(quirky music)
(grunting)
(groaning)
Coach Pat, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine!
I just got a... stiff...
Water.
(back cracks)
- Good night.
- Good night.
Hey, Coach Pat.
Do you mind taking the lead
tomorrow?
I have some things
that I need to take care of
with the other squad.
I can pop in afterward.
Uh, sure.
- No problem.
- Great. Great.
(worried exhale)
JASMINE: Do you think we really
have a shot at regionals?
If we keep it like stunts
like today? Definitely!
I mean, Disney, Jasmine.
Like, actual Disney.
Oh, my god! First stop,
Haunted Mansion.
I want to scream so loud
it echoes in another park.
Tower of Terror for me.
I want to feel my stomach
in my throat!
(giggling)
You know, you're really good.
Like, flyer good.
Thanks. I finally feel
like I belong here.
New school, new team.
Kind of feels like home now.
Well, yeah, that's because
I adopted you.
You're stuck with me.
(giggles)
Wait, have you met my brother?
I don't think so.
Good. Because let me tell you
what he did at home yesterday.
So, I came home from practice
and he literally ate
all the food in the house.
There was nothing in the fridge.
So, me and my mom had to order
takeout
because there was nothing
in the fridge.
He ate it all.
He made me mad, like,
because all he does is eat
and play video games.
That's funny.
Jasmine, come on, baby.
We've got leftovers,
and you know your brother eats
like a linebacker.
Bye!
PATRICK: Moving's never easy,
but a real friend, well,
that can make a strange place
feel like home.
It was good to see Anna really
digging into something for once.
(tired exhale)
Oh no.
Uh, yeah, boss, um...
about that work conference
in Miami,
I don't think I'm gonna be able
to make it.
MR. CARVER: What do you
mean you can't make it?
This is the third event
you've missed this quarter.
You need to get your priorities
straight, Patrick.
Yeah, no, it's just a conflict
with Anna's cheer schedule.
See, we really have--
Cheerleading?
This is your job.
You can't keep dropping the ball
like this.
(footsteps approach)
Ready?
Dinner. Tonight with my sister!
- Oh.
- Remember?
Babe...
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I have... I'm so behind. Honey!
(sad music)
(sighs)
Yeah, okay. I got to do my job,
but I also have to be a parent.
And I got to do cheer coaching
because they said
I was so bossy.
Yes, boss, I know.
(muttering)
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
(snoring)
(cheer music playing on tablet)
PATRICK: Balancing work,
family, cheer, oh...
it was like juggling with
one hand tied behind my back.
But every time I thought
about quitting,
I saw Anna's face.
And I couldn't let her down.
Dad, you really don't want
to come?
Sunshine, ice cream,
a nap on the grass?
Sounds like your kinda heaven!
Well, honey, I'd train with you
in a heartbeat,
but I got, I got to go
to this cheer coaching clinic
at 7:30 AM.
Living the dream.
Can I trade you, Dad?
Sounds fun.
Oh, yeah, no, nothing says fun
like sitting in
a conference room
watching videos
about how to do back flips.
Well, guess duty calls,
Coach Pat.
Look on the bright side.
Maybe you'll learn
some new moves.
Yeah, mm-hmm. Funny about that.
And how did I get roped
into your cheer idea?
I don't know.
Maybe because
you're secretly good at it.
Yeah, a few more clinics
and I'm sure I'll just be
leading the pyramids.
MICHAEL: Bye, Dad. Have fun.
(groans)
Well, thanks for taking one
for the team, Coach Pat.
Fun. Right.
Time of my life.
Oh...
that looks so painful.
(upbeat music)
Great. Show up 30 minutes early,
nobody's here.
Rookie mistake.
(echoing): Hello?
Probably be the only guy
here too.
But hey, silver lining,
no line at the bathroom.
Bathroom.
Somebody once told me
to trust the process
Five, seven, one.
And all this pressure
makes time
I can't stop trying
my hardest
Let's talk
about team-building exercises.
You've just got to
believe me, yeah
Sometimes the key
to a winning squad
isn't just practice,
it's morale.
Get excited!
Okay, girls,
we're gonna carb load
old-school style.
I call this piz-asta.
Oh, it's tough outside
[gasping]
Patrick, why don't you
help us with stunts?
Come on. Come on.
[upbeat pop music
resumes briefly]
I know, Dave. I know that I
said it'd be in yesterday.
It's been--
I understand.
I'll fix it tonight.
Yes, yes, I'm still coaching.
MR. CARVER: There'll be
serious consequences.
I've made all the concessions
I can make for you.
Time to buckle down. Am I clear?
Crystal.
All right, Wildcats,
let's focus up. Let's go.
Line drills, come on,
let's look sharp! Let's go!
Anna, Anna, your arms
got to be tighter.
Jasmine, work on that timing!
Oh my gosh, we have been
over this a dozen times.
Do you want to crash
and burn at regionals?
ANNA: I'm trying.
Try harder.
Hey, great work, great timing.
You're my favorite right now.
JASMINE: Thanks.
ANNA: Cool. Glad I don't have
to try harder anymore.
PATRICK: I thought giving
everything meant being present,
being all in.
But what if all in meant...
pushing her away?
There's Patrick. Hey, there.
Yeah, we are so looking
forward to the mom's
curling event next weekend.
TAMMY: I've got a great idea.
Why don't you host it
in your basement?
You've got that great
setup down there.
Oh, yeah, a curling party.
Yeah, sure.
And when you get tired
of tantrums and pom-poms,
I make a mean meatloaf
and I got a hot tub.
Girl, come on, Terry. You know
what? I can't take you anywhere.
First it's the bottle,
then it's the man.
- That is a married man.
- Thank you, Coach.
I told you 999 times
to stop trying to talk
to that married man.
[upbeat pop music playing]
We wake up at night 'cause
we want to have sun
In the early morning light
we want to have fun
Honey, wait. Honey.
[huffs]
Wow. So things went
that great tonight, huh?
I think I blew it.
What happened?
Well, I told her she needed to
be tighter in the cradle move.
She said I was treating her
like a coach
instead of her dad.
I thought I was both.
You are.
[message pings]
[phone ringing]
Pick up, pick up.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
You know he loves you, right?
I know, it's just,
sometimes I miss
when he was just my dad.
Not coach, judge,
critic, all of it.
It will all work out
in the end, okay?
Go get some rest.
See you tomorrow. Good night.
Now I can see
My dad and me
Under those bright gym beams
He taught me how to fly
How to chase my dreams
He's the only dad I need
No biology
Just heart and believe
My dad and me
Whoa, whoa
My dad and me
My dad and me
Under those bright gym beams
He taught me how to fly
How to chase my dreams
Yeah
My dad and me
[upbeat pop music]
I'm so excited
Are you excited?
We're going to nationals
Are you excited?
Are you ready to bring it?
Are you ready to bring it?
We're gonna bring it
Hey, let's go, Wildcats
W-I-L-D
That's the way
you spell wild, baby
Wildcats, hey
Wildcats, hey
Wildcats, hey
Wildcats, hey
Hey
W-I-L-D
That's the way
we spell wild, baby
- Oh. My kneecap is broken.
Wildcats, hey
Wildcats, hey
Well, there you have it, folks.
The Jayhawks not only soared,
they doubled up,
walking away with both
first and second place.
Congratulations on
a remarkable sweep.
Thank you.
But the celebration
doesn't stop there.
Right here beside me
is the assistant coach, Pat
of the West Windsor Wildcats,
this year's
third place champions.
Coach, congratulations.
I hear you're not
only leading this team,
but you're also a cheer dad.
Yes, that's right.
Yes.
Tell me, how does it feel today
knowing that you've
guided these athletes,
along with your own daughter,
to the national stage?
Uh, well, it's humbling.
The girls worked really hard
and they gave everything.
We wanted the top spot,
you know,
but third place
still gives us a shot
at the nationals and that
is something to be proud of.
That's the spirit.
Family, perseverance
and teamwork,
that's what cheer is all about.
Coach, again, thanks to
you and the Wildcats.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Reporting from regionals,
I'm Kathy Brooks
for Channel 7 News.
Back to you in the studio.
- It's all my fault.
- Hey, it's okay.
Third still means
we're going to nationals.
We made it!
Yeah. Okay.
[giggling]
Hey, I was just on TV.
You are doing a great job.
You're really getting
the hang of this.
Yeah, who knew I could do this?
I hope you got
a good shelf for this.
[gentle music playing]
Wow.
[clears throat]
Okay, who wants cheese fries?
GIRLS: Me!
Works every time. Let's go!
Last one there is a rotten egg.
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, my god.
If he looked at me,
I'd pass out right here.
So, how do you actually
get a boyfriend?
Is there, like,
a playbook or something?
Oh, honey, if there is,
no one gave me a copy.
[girls giggle]
All right, all right, all right.
We ordered cheese fries,
not pickup lines.
Save your sweet talk
for dessert.
Coach, for real though,
this season's been amazing.
You make practice way more fun.
It's like we're
an actual family.
And you're helping
me get better.
Like, I haven't tripped
over my own pom-poms
in at least two weeks.
[girls groan]
Okay fine, one week.
[laughs]
You girls give me
way too much credit.
You're doing all the hard work.
I'm just a human crash mat
and oh, a snack provider.
Oh, yes!
You're more than that.
It's great
having you on the team.
Thank you, Christine.
You know, the truth is,
I think I need this team
as much as they need me.
Okay, I just have one question,
what are y'all gonna eat?
All right.
[laughs]
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
All right, dig in, dig in.
[gentle music playing]
Are you asleep? Oh.
There you go, buddy. All right.
You sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.
Night, Dad.
[soft music continues]
PATRICK: Made my famous popcorn.
Ooh, movie night?
Oh.
Look at her.
Yes, ma'am. Okay.
[sighs]
You know,
she really gave it
everything tonight, didn't she?
Yeah, we all did.
[chuckling]
If they make it all the way,
she is going to be
over the moon.
When we make it all the way.
Oh, she fought
so hard out there.
I could not be
more proud of her.
Hmm, of her?
Or of yourself, Coach Pat?
Maybe a little of both.
[both chuckle]
You know, babe,
I'm really sorry.
You know, my work schedule,
it's just been...
chaotic and I haven't been able
to be as supportive as I'd like.
Honey, it's fine.
You did what you could,
but must let's hog this.
Thank you.
Do you think, you know,
that this is it for her?
That she's going to
keep going with cheer?
I mean, she's grown so much
in the last few months.
She even asked me to help her
with her back handspring.
[gasps] Anna?
Right?
She asked to practice tumbling?
Right? Yeah, for Coach Chris.
Wow.
She is determined
to get it right.
Oh.
She's really grown
into this, hasn't she?
Yeah, she really has.
I'm so proud of her.
I mean, we still have one
competition to go,
but tonight we are winners.
Oh, and that incredibly rare,
almost never-seen-before
apology from you.
That's, like,
an unforgettable victory.
Like, woo, woo!
Boom, victory of all victories!
Ow. Here.
- Can you do it?
- Yeah.
Old school. Pew!
Oh, one more time.
One more time.
- Almost, honey. Almost.
- Oh, shh, shh, shh.
Ooh, this is such
a good part right here.
When we first dated,
do you remember this is the part
where I slipped
my arm around you?
Remember the old...
[yawns]
- Fresh.
- Yes, I was.
That was fresh.
- You're still-
- I'm still fresh.
Yes. Yes, you are, Coach Pat.
Okay, I'm a little
past ripe, but...
Ooh, especially tonight. Sorry.
- Oh, my God.
- That was a long game.
Why did you have to ruin it?
I'll take a shower in a minute.
Maybe.
This movie's a lot
longer than a minute.
- Good point.
- You haven't taken a shower?
- It was a long day.
- After all day?
I'm just covering
the competition, honey.
[upbeat music playing]
[cheerleaders chanting]
Five, six, seven, eight.
How's that quarterly
report coming, Pat?
MUSIC ON HEADPHONES:
Let's go Wildcats,
clap your hands.
Do your dance.
[stammering]
I just, yeah,
um the numbers, you know,
data,
it's a spreadsheet, synergy.
Synergy? Did synergy just tell
you to clap your hands?
Uh...
MUSIC ON HEADPHONES:
Five, six, seven, eight.
Pat, I asked for numbers.
Not a halftime report.
That report
was due yesterday.
Right, yeah. I'm just -
I'm just warming up here.
That's all.
The old brain cells,
it's, you know,
like stretching before a game.
Well, the game is accounting.
Right now, you're losing.
All right, no more excuses.
I'm done.
[sighing]
Yeah, well, you're
all going to thank me
for bringing pep
to spreadsheets.
You know, I'm still thinking
about those cheese fries.
All right, girls,
stretch it out.
[girls grumble]
- Focus.
- Yeah, and no untied shoes.
I don't want any
sneakers left behind.
On the mat. Let's go.
You think the shoes
will stay on today?
Not a chance.
Why do we have to do
the same routine every day?
Hey, if those football players
that you all drool over
can do the same plays on repeat,
then you can perfect
the pyramid.
Boy, oh boy.
Come on. Come on, stretch.
Show some- Oh my gosh.
All right, you know what?
[siren chirps]
All right, girls.
I guess this
is what it's gonna take.
Cue the secret weapon.
If I can shake this arthritis,
you can shake those ponytails.
Nobody's going home until
somebody sticks a landing.
Girl, I want nachos.
Let's show these kids
how it's done.
High ponytails
Clean routines
The whole crowd was
looking at the team
We hit the floor
Next thing you know
Wildcats go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go
Girl, you gotta get your man.
Get ready!
[gentle pop music playing]
Ow.
Dad, what are you
doing still up?
You look like you
just got tackled
by a whole football team.
I got a big meeting
today, honey.
I got to prove I can
pull the team together.
I don't even know if I can
pull myself together.
No "I" in team. Remember?
Oh, yeah, well, there's
an I in insomniac.
Dad, come on, snap out of it.
You know what?
I know what you need.
We can do it
we can win this
We can take you to the limit
Drop on your feet now.
And we'll see you at the top
What? Pushups at 6:00 AM?
You heard me. Let's go.
Oh.
We'll see you at the top and
the top is just the beginning
'Cause I feel it
One, two, three.
Oh, don't give up on me now.
Pathetic.
Rocky would be ashamed.
Rocky?
Seriously, Anna, what
do you know about Rocky?
Besides, it's
too early for that.
They want it, L-O-V-E
The team is really on,
they never give up
Never quit and even
when it gets tough
Just keep on swimming
We can win this
Bottoms up.
Uh... no, thanks.
I'll take mine scrambled.
Look, I don't know if
I have anything left, Anna.
I got this big meeting today.
I am running on fumes.
Dad, you pulled me
and the team through
when we were about to give up.
I was falling apart.
But you,
you reminded me
why I even started.
You pushed me. You pushed us.
You believed when
nobody else did.
You know how to get people
back into the fight.
You did it for me.
Now you just
have to do it for them.
You really think I can?
I know you can.
You just forgot
who you were for a second.
Now it's time to remind them.
So, do you trust me?
Yeah, I do.
Okay, I'll use those later.
Now, remember,
there's no I in team,
but each of you
has your own strengths!
Hey man, I don't think
the megaphone is necessary.
I am not wearing this
stupid bow on my head.
Wait, wait but
the bow is focus, okay?
I mean...
when everything's falling apart,
you're the one who keeps
us together. Yeah.
And the boa,
that's boldness, right?
When - when you walk in a room,
I mean, everybody listens.
Don't forget that.
And Joe, the megaphone
is your voice, right?
I mean, you're
the one that has the power
to rally us around, right?
So remember that, your voice.
And uh, oh, and the pom-poms,
the pom-poms are
the spirit, okay?
They're glue.
They're the hype, the marketing.
Without that,
none of this works.
I promise there's a method
to this madness, sir.
Each of these items represents
a strength, a unique strength
that each of you
bring to the team.
Well, what about me?
I don't have anything.
Well, that's because
it's all right here.
I mean, everyone knows you're
the brains of the operation.
Um, I get that there
is no I in team.
However, there is
an I in stupid.
And I always thought
these would be bigger.
Well, I think it kind of works.
Exactly. And sometimes...
stupid is exactly
what you need
to remind yourselves what
it takes to win as a team.
With all respect,
I can't do this alone, guys.
We have to stop working in silos
and work as a squad.
Yeah, a squad, like,
um, the girls.
When the girls are cheering,
okay, they don't
hit stunts alone.
There's flyers,
and there's base,
and there's spotters.
Each one of them is important.
And if any girl
gets overloaded,
the whole pyramid
comes crashing down.
Now, that's the same with us.
So, here's the plan.
We're gonna redistribute
the workflow.
We're gonna rotate coverage,
and we're gonna double check
with each other
before the final performance.
That way, we're gonna
hit our deadlines
and the quality will be tighter.
You actually might
be on to something.
We're gonna work like a squad.
No more heroes, no more stunts.
All right, coach, run with it.
But just don't
make me regret it.
All right. I...
I guess I'm not the only one
learning from the cheer team.
Somebody once told me
To trust the process
And all this
pressure makes time
A drum roll, please!
When it's dark outside
and I've lost my mind
You've got to believe
So, we got to stay
right on pace, right on time,
and we've got to have
all the data be just right.
Because why?
Because we are a T-E-A-M...
ALL: Team!
Woo! Yeah.
You say that you want it
But do you want
it like we do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna find out soon
CHRISTINE: All right, Allie,
tighten up that core.
Great job.
We been waiting on this
moment all our lives
One shot, better do it right
Wow, she's so good.
We got this 'cause
we're fearless
We'll see you at the top
CHRISTINE:
All right, practice the lifts.
We're ready for our shot
We got this 'cause
we're fearless
Five, six, seven eight.
Three, five, seven, lift one.
Allie, oh my gosh.
[concerned chatter]
Let me get some ice. Ice.
Allie, oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Back up a little bit
and let her breathe.
- Show me where it is.
- Right here.
Just hold still.
Don't move it, okay?
Keep it still.
I'll get you some help.
CHRISTINE: It's bad.
We've lost a flyer
and nationals is in two weeks.
- I know. We'll take care of it.
Yes, 911, yes, we're over
at the gym on Main Street.
Yeah, that's bad news
about Allie. It's tough.
Yep.
You thinking about stepping in?
I don't know. Maybe.
Look, you did it before.
You could do it again.
You belong up there.
You have the skill.
You're ready, even
if you don't know it yet.
I don't know. What if I mess up?
What if I let the team down?
It's okay to be a little scared.
It just means it matters.
But you can't let fear drive it.
Faith over fear, kiddo,
and I have faith in you.
Okay, I'll do it.
All right, that's my girl.
Hey, how about a milkshake?
- Ooh!
- Yeah.
[laughing]
[upbeat pop music playing]
[girls chanting]
Pom-poms popping
under the sun
Practicing flips
till the day is done
We got rhythm, we got flow
Watch us shine
watch us grow
We used to stumble
now we soar
I think they're finally ready.
Well, it's about time.
Hi, it's me, Coach Pat.
You knew that.
Okay, so I'm still at work,
but I just wanted to say
one more thing, Wildcats,
you have worked so hard.
So, no matter
what happens tomorrow,
you are already
champions in my eyes.
Yeah, I mean, you just,
you've gone through so much
and you've come
out stronger, right?
So, tomorrow,
don't worry about the judges.
You just go out there
and do what you do best.
Be a team.
And I'll see you
at the curling party
tomorrow night at my house.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's the one.
We got this.
[laughs]
Oh! Wow!
Not bad for a first
curling party.
Pinterest would be so proud.
I think I might've burned
myself on a hot glue g*n,
but I mean, it's not bad.
Wow, this looks amazing.
Thanks, guys.
Okay, Dad, please just be cool.
When am I not cool?
[doorbell chimes]
[quirky music playing]
- Hello.
- Hello.
Come on in.
- Hey, guys.
- Oh, my gosh!
Joey!
Ah, so, excuse me, ladies,
what do you think?
Oh, um, I gotta check the oven,
or microwave, or something.
Okay, y'all, what the heck?
Y'all, is this
a dad's idea of cute?
The colors are festive.
Did he do this himself?
Girl look like Hobby Lobby
and Party City
done had a baby up in here.
[laughs]
I think it's sweet. The girls
are gonna remember this forever.
I always wanted somebody that
could glue g*n and grill.
He's married, Tammy!
Okay, well he don't scream,
I won't holler.
Just sayin'.
What we gonna do with her?
[laughs]
[upbeat pop music]
Hey, hey, it's party time
Hey, hey, hey
[girls chattering]
Lights up high
spinning on the floor
Feel the bass drop,
we want more, more, more
No looking back
it's a neon ride
Hey, hey girls
it's time to shine
GIRLS: Eat 'em up.
Yum, yum, eat 'em up.
Eat 'em up. Eat 'em up.
[laughter]
Okay, who wants soda?
GIRLS: Me!
Oh, hey, oh!
[laughter]
That's like a fizzy cheer b*mb.
Dad!
Oh, I'll get another one.
It's party time
It's party time
Fashion colors
hearts ignite
Every step feels so alive
We're the queens
of this parade
On the line, no masquerade
Raise your hands
I'll feel the glow
Let the rhythm take control
[gentle music playing]
We survived.
[chuckles]
Barely.
You really pulled it off.
Yeah, but I may never get
that glitter out of the rug.
[both laugh]
You know, I know
I haven't said anything,
but... I have noticed.
The late nights,
the early mornings,
you really went above
and beyond for her.
And I'm sorry that I haven't
been more supportive.
Hey, no,
I'm the one who's sorry.
I got so wrapped up in cheer
and all that, I...
I stopped checking in on you.
You shouldn't have to fight
for space in your own marriage.
Well, tonight,
you made space for all of us.
Even those tiny tents.
[chuckles]
You're a good dad, Patrick.
And you're still my
favorite co-captain.
I'm glad I made varsity.
Lights?
Lights.
[sighs]
Oh, this was such a great party.
- Bye!
- Thanks for coming. Bye.
[all saying goodbye]
Best curling party ever,
Coach Pat.
Hey.
Did you hear that? See?
You talked to the moms.
You exploded soda.
You told jokes.
And yet, you survived.
Barely.
So, if I did cheer
again next year,
would you be my coach?
What, you want to do all
that madness again?
Yeah, I do.
Okay, then.
Hey, but it's just a few hours
before the final,
so go get ready.
You got this, champ.
[sighs] I need a nap.
[record scratching]
You literally dropped
the stunts. In warm-ups!
Only because you didn't
catch the foot right.
Can you guys stop?
We go on in five.
Guys, this isn't us.
We were doing so good.
Enough.
Eyes on me.
You know what I'm
seeing right now?
I'm seeing a bunch of girls
who are forgetting who you are.
You're not just a cheer squad,
you're a family.
Every one of you has
fallen at some point.
Missed a movement.
Said something dumb.
Okay, that's mostly me
saying dumb stuff but...
[girls giggle]
...but you get back up.
You lift each other higher.
You're not perfect.
None of us are.
But we're here. We're together.
Now you go out there,
win or lose,
and you leave it
all on the mat and...
[exhales]
I'll wear all this stuff. Deal?
GIRLS: Deal.
All right. You earned your spot.
Now you go out there
and remind them who you are.
Let's go, girls. Showtime.
Wildcats on three.
One, two, three.
GIRLS: Wildcats!
Let's go!
[cheering]
You got this.
Oh, I hope so.
I don't even know
where that came from.
Just spilled out of me.
So, you're the cheer dad?
We once had a dad
ask to coach...
and we told him no.
Well, that's too bad.
Got that right.
She doesn't know
what she's missing.
Parents, coaches,
and cheer fans,
welcome to
the Tumble Pros Nationals.
Today, these amazing athletes
will flip, fly, and fight
for a shot at the championship
and that magical trip
to Disney World.
RIVAL COACH: Let's show 'em
how it's done, ladies.
RIVAL TEAM: Boom!
No, don't worry about that.
You let them strut.
You got this.
[pop music playing]
[applause]
Okay, okay.
If we win, I'm doing
every ride at Disney,
even the ones that
go upside down.
Deal. I call front seat
on Space Mountain.
[girls giggle]
Thanks for making this
place feel like home.
That's what besties are for.
[pop music continues]
No matter what happens
out there today,
we are so proud of you.
A cheerleader.
I mean, you are
so much more than that.
You are the strongest athlete
I have ever seen.
Wildcats, you're up.
Oh boy, here we go. Come on.
All right, you got this, girls.
My daddy's got a bow,
my daddy is our coach
Final performance
of the evening.
Let's give it up
for the Wildcats!
My name's Patrick, I coach
my daughter's cheer squad
She said we need a cheer
bow and that's my job
Said I had the knowledge
they can all rely on
That doesn't mean I know
how to put pom-poms on
Cheerleader uniforms
fit me just right
Once they saw me on the mat
the judges took flight
Their scorecards were
going out of sight
And they were so inspired
they wrote me a note
Said they never seen
someone with such a glow
So they called me
Cheer bow
Cheer bow
Cheer bow
That was the cleanest
routine I've ever seen you do.
Win or lose, you have
made this team proud!
GIRLS: Thank you.
I'll admit, you cleaned
up well, Coach.
Well.
You know, Lizzie and the girls,
they lit that mat up.
I screamed so loud,
I blew the wig off
the lady in front of me.
[girls laugh]
I hope that tutu comes
with a cape, superhero.
You two raised a rock star.
How about if all the girls
carpool with me
down to Disney World if we win?
ALL: No!
[tense music playing]
Ladies and gentlemen,
the moment
we've been waiting for.
And the winner of
the Tumble Pros Nationals...
...the Wildcats!
[loud cheering]
We did it!
You earned every bit of it,
sweetheart.
PATRICK: They say cheer
is just pom-poms and glitter,
but I've seen the
strength behind the sparkle,
the grit, the grace.
Wildcats!
PATRICK: And how a little bow
tie a whole family together.
My name's Patrick, I coach my
daughter's cheer squad
She said we need a cheer bow
and that's my job
Said I have the knowledge
they can all rely on
That doesn't mean I know
how to put pom-poms on
Cheerleader uniforms
fit me just right
Once they saw me on the mat
the judges took flight
The scorecards were
going out of sight
And they were so inspired
they wrote me a note
Said they never seen
someone with such a glow
So they called me
Cheer bow
Cheer bow
Cheer bow, whoa, cheer bow
Cheer bow
Cheer bow
Cheer bow
Cheer bow, whoa, whoa
I never thought
I would get this far
My life's turned
into one big montage
People thought my
ideas were bizarre
Now I'm riding in
my own squad car
[soft music]
He wore that whistle
like a medal of gold
Always cheering louder when
it's our story unfolds
Gym lights shining
hearts in sync
He believed in me more
than I could think
He didn't have to show up
But he showed up every time
Now I see what real
love looks like
My dad in a bow
best dad I know
Lifting me higher
everywhere I go
He taught me
He taught me grace
Said keep your eyes up
you'll find your place
No blood I needed
just love that grows
That's my dad in a bow
Best dad I know
Hold your head high
you were born to shine
He said every setback's
just more climb
When I stumbled hard
he reached for my hand
Said, we don't quit
we rise again
He didn't have to choose me
but he chose me every day
