Sofiia Cherpak takes her role as captain of the middle school cheer team seriously. She leads stretches, calls cheers at games, and keeps the team on track and focused. That is why she was chosen as one of the middle school’s November Athletes of the Month.
Assistant middle school cheer coach Olivia Toth said Sofiia applies correction with a “strong, mature, and positive attitude” and sets a good example of sportsmanship by being a team player.
“Sofiia is always prepared for practice, she speaks and acts respectfully to her teammates and coaches, and always owns her mistakes,” Toth said.
Toth said that Sofiia takes constructive feedback as well as she gives it out, accepting it with a good attitude and then applying it in the best way she can.
“Sofiia puts every minute of practice to good use and encourages the rest of the team to do the same.”
