While the weight of leadership may not have felt fun for Olive throughout high school, the saying \u201cdiamonds are made under pressure\u201d has proved itself true in her life. Olive\u2019s experiences helped prepare her for a bright and brilliant future in college and beyond. Olive shared, \u201cMy experiences as Bumbalough\u2019s captain translated through college, specifically into the clubs and activities I was involved in. I was the president of my sorority. Without cheerleading and the leadership skills I gained from being on a team, I don\u2019t think I would have been able to accomplish everything that I did in college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olive graduated with a degree in journalism and mass communications. Then she switched gears a little bit and decided to pursue a path to work in college football. She was able to work as one of the only females on an all-male team at Middle Tennessee State University, get her master\u2019s for free, and lead a group of 20 interns, all simultaneously. Olive shared, \u201cA lot of people see cheerleading one way and don\u2019t realize all its benefits. Cheerleading has taken me throughout my life and developed in me great leadership skills, which keeps translating into every job that I have. A lot of people see cheerleading one way and don\u2019t realize all the benefits that it has.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Olive is the assistant coach for Tullahoma\u2019s high school cheerleading squad. Her reasoning for coaching is closely connected to her own experiences. She said, \u201cI\u2019ve realized through the years how much this town gave to me. If I didn\u2019t have the support, mentorship, and opportunities that Tullahoma gave me, I don\u2019t know if I would be where I am in my life. So to come and give back to the community that gave so much to me is huge. Pouring into these girls and being there for them in more ways than just cheerleading is why I do it. It\u2019s all about the girls and their growth.\u201d GN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In her freshman year of high school, Macy Olive decided to try out for the cheerleading squad. Olive came from what she considers a \u201cfootball family\u201d and was in love with the game. She shared, \u201cMy dad has a real passion for football, and that translated to me. I took up his same passion.
