Sharon, Sarah's mother


Sharon says her 9-year-old daughter Sarah is destined to be a star cheerleader and she will let nothing stand in their way. Sharon is a dance instructor and her daughter's coach, and she believes she must be very strict for Sarah to be the best. Sarah trains for about 12 hours every week. "Sarah misses quite a few days of school," her teacher says, "between being busy with her sports or her activities. A lot of times Sarah doesn't get to be just a kid. It's run, run, run, do this, do that."
