Season 9 with Fearless Athletics is here, and our pride for Emery is bigger than ever. Eight years of hard work, discipline, and heart — and she continues to amaze us.

Being the staff kid comes with extra pressure, but she handles it with maturity and grit. She trusts the process, embraces the work, and shows up as a true athlete. And the best part? She’s genuinely happy doing what she loves.

We unexpectedly said goodbye to our sweet Bama Boy this morning. Bama was a joy and a blessing to our family for 15 years. Chris and I got him early in our relationship, and in so many ways we grew up with him. He quickly became a brother to Hailey and Aubree, watched Chris and I get married, welcomed Emery, and later became a pet brother to Buck and then Bailey.

We are so grateful that he was with us through all the big milestones of our lives. Our hearts are temporarily broken, but we know our Bama Boy is now pain‑free and at peace in heaven.

RIP, sweet boy. We love you forever. by @acates24

Proud is an understatement.
Emery had to step in last minute today and compete on three teams — and she jumped in like an absolute champ. She helped J1 Reign take home Level 1 Grand Champions!

Her J2 team delivered an amazing performance and walked away with 1st place.

Her J4 team came back on Day 2 with a hard hit and so much heart and taking home 1st place! 

I don’t brag on her often, but she truly is the definition of an athlete. Hard‑working, resilient, and always ready to rise to the moment.
Well deserved, sweet girl.

We love you so much! ❤️ 🖤 by @acates24

God had other plans for me this weekend.  I made it to Cheersport Nationals but only for one night and then to the hospital on Saturday.  Found out I have compression on my C6/C7 cervical spine and need surgery.  I watched Cheersport through my phone.  Cried most of the time.  We as coaches work so hard to get to this caliber of competition.  To watch it all from a phone was tough. 

My mom, sister, niece, husband and best friends along with my FA family quickly jumped into support mode for me.  They took care of Emery and they jumped quickly to help in whatever fashion they could.  They drove me to the hospital, played the team music for two days, coached 4 outstanding teams and included me the entire time.  Took care of me at the hospital and fed me. I am honored and so proud to call these people my family. I love you all! 

I am so proud of Emery and her two teams. J4 flex and J2 were in very very tough divisions.  Keep pushing baby girl. You are doing big things! 

As far as my two teams that I coach with some amazing people.  I am sooo very proud!!! 

Senior 2 Queen Bees placing 2nd place and fighting hard with sickness and athlete changes with one week to make the change.  WOW. Those are athletes.  Super proud of you girls! 

Junior 1 Reign-  NATIONALS CHAMPIONS and made history breaking a score of 98 at a national competition!! These kids have had some very tough coaching. They have worked HARD.  They show up. They appreciate tough coaching. They are becoming a Cinderella story. So very proud of them. 

Congrats to all of our teams.  Congrats to our program. 

Spending the remainder of the week in Atlanta but I’ll be back to celebrate soon. 

So proud!!! ❤️ 🖤 by @acates24
