Just because someone can't physically do something according to a standard, doesn't mean people don't see the passion in what you're doing. People's spirits are recognized more than just a movement. Keep on killing it 👍
They are only limitations with a spirit of defeat. The victor sees them as challenges and strives to overcome not to be limited by them. Its all perspective: Choose victim or victor
You got it girl!!!! Change perspective Overcome the challenge Don't be hindered by a handicap You're not disabled Your difabled (abled in a different way) Find your way of doing whatever it is you are called to do.
You are incredible. Not one cheerleader watching this was thinking anything negative about you, we are all amazed that you are six months out from your accident and TRYING OUT FOR CHEERLEADING!! Like what?! Such an inspiration to young and old. 💜
It’s completely understandable and realistic to cry , get frustrated , and let yourself get those emotions out. It’s okay to have some weak and vulnerable moments when having such a traumatic event happening to you.
You know, I am a 47 year old woman who has had disc disease since my late 20s but the last 5 years it has gotten so much worse where I have had to use a mobility scooter to get around if a lot of walking is involved (like grocery shopping). I can honestly say that I never could imagine that a 17 year old could teach this old girl a thing or two. You have taught me that its okay to rely on help. I've always been an independent person so this has been really hard on me and I always feel like people are staring and judging me when I'm on my scooter because I'm not the typical elderly person. You have taught me that it doesn't matter what people think and that I need to get out there and live life because the life has been moving along without me. I hope soon I can get to the positive attitude that you have. You are such a bright star is this dark world and I'm so proud of you and I know your family is too.
I can relate. I'm in my early thirties and have autoimmune disease in my spine. Some days are just bad and I have to rely on a scooter to get around in a store. I've learned not to care what other people think. Give yourself grace.
Hi I also have Degenerative disc disease in my spine. Had my first fusion at 24yrs.. then an artificial titanium disc at about 29yrs. Those were both in my neck. Then I had surgery on my lower back L5/S1 in my 30's. That one wasn't successful and I now have almost constant back pain and I have Neuropathy in my feet now as well. I had to buy a wheelchair a few years ago. I was always so conscious of people watching me in the beginning. I'm turning 51 tomorrow. I'm finally starting to not care what people think. It makes such a difference. I have so much respect for Makayla and others who just get on with things. Hope I made sense. Strength to all.
I can so relate to this ,became wheelchair dependant at 38 due to failed back surgery and a few other fun chronic illnesses . Mac is amazing and definitely teaching me to up my game ,change my attitude x
I can relate! I’m 18, have a herniated disc and was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. The pain has recently gotten a lot worse to the point where it hurts to sit, stand or walk for an extended period of time without being in a lot pain. I got an epidural but it hasn’t helped me at all. I’m going on a trip in a couple of days that requires lots of walking and I finally admitted to myself that I need a mobility aid. I was discouraged at first because I’m nervous of what people might think of me considering I’m so young and have an invisible disability, but you’re totally right! It doesn’t matter what people think and honestly I don’t think they really care. We should be able to enjoy our lives without worrying what others think about us. I discovered Makayla recently and she’s helped me out a lot!
Since my name's Moxie on UA-cam I felt a desire to write something. Lol! She really inspires me! I started watching her after I injured myself really bad and have nerve damage. Shes encouraging.
im a dance teacher and plan on showing this to my students. I wish they had even half the drive and passion you do. To have the injuries you do and still say "no excuses" is inspiring. I understand your frustration with you body not allowing you to be as sharp as you want but I could clearly see a difference in your technique from the start to the end of the video. Give yourself some grace. I know that's easier said than done but you should be so proud of yourself and what your body is able to do. You are a miracle and I'm so happy you get to be back out on the field with your friends doing what you love. You more than earned your spot there. I have been and will continue praying for you sweet girl.
Lady, give yourself all the grace. What you're doing, hopping back on the horse after all you've gone through, is amazing in and if itself! You got this!
I’m a former cheerleader and an OT and let me just say, you are doing awesome!! That cheer muscle memory will help. You are such a light in this world.
This is the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life. You doing cheer is going to lift so many people’s spirits. Your spirit and smile is what the team needs, not the body of a typical cheerleader. I’m so proud of you. Your mom must be so proud too. You are a warrior. You got this.
Bless you, saying "please be gentle" made me tear up, girl you've been through an insane ton, this is HUGE and the bravery to even want to try out and push yourself... never ever EVER apologize for who you are now, you are achieving so so much every day with just getting through. Xx
You just blow me away!! You should be prouder than ever of yourself!! What a great example you are for everyone to push through all those tough times! Keep going girl you are amazing!
Your "And still I rise" Tshirt says it all. You are a fighter and you don't let any limitations stop you! You are an inspiration! Congratulations on making the team!!!!
Hey kiddo I’m 27 years into SCI and I’m still fighting with myself of who I was. Just remember you are doing so well, don’t beat yourself up. I’m really impressed with your progress. Always know we have to adapt, please know I’m not creeping your channel when I was looking for other channels with people in wheelchairs. I found it by chance about three months back and watching you struggle coming home from the hospital. I remembered what it was like. I encourage you to be your best self and keep doing what you’re doing. My children went through all their life with me being in a wheelchair and being a para. Your faith will also see you through the tough times, God never leaves our side. Congratulations on getting on the cheer team, this is what you need to keep u motivated. Exercise will help keep you healthy to, I do boxercise aerobics and wheelchair yoga, they all are so good for you. Blessings to you and your family.
She is recovering and adjusting so quickly! I can’t believe she’s already cheerleading again. She’s doing so amazing. Very few people have her patience and mental strength.
You’re doing incredibly Makayla! I’m also dealing with disability and learning and adjusting to our new lives is a huge problem-solving task that takes so much patience and effort. You’re doing wonderfully and I’m so glad you’re continuing with cheer xx
To be honest even though you can‘t do every motion anymore, you do it better than most people! Cheerleading isn‘t just about hitting your motions perfectly but it‘s all about the right spirit and you DEFINITELY still have it! This makes everyone forget about you not tumbling and instead doing a motion or you not being able to clap perfectly. Especially for highschool cheerleading, people focus way more on your spirit and probably most of the people in the crowd won‘t even see what‘s wrong about your motion. Keep up that great spirit and you‘ll keep being a great cheerleader 😘
You are doing very hard things very well. I’m not just talking about the moves and the cheering … you are getting back into cheerleading period. That is extremely hard. Just doing that and then combined with the movement and the cheers themselves it’s beyond incredible. I have mad respect for your incredible spirit and drive. You give off such positive energy and it really rubs off on others. You can see that within the comments. Be gentle with yourself. Be proud of yourself! You are doing amazing things!! 📣 🙌🏻👏🏻💕
I’ve had a tough past few weeks with a lot of changes in my life… looking at your videos gives me the strength to persevere. When you’re feeling down, I hope you know how big of an inspiration you are to a lot of people on here. Thank you.
thats not realistic though to ignore. We dont usually ignore, we learn to tolerate. Tolerating can be more important to learn. An able bodied person can have mean things said to them too. Some jobs get mean things told to them daily and you dont ignore it. You cant ignore it, you learn to deal with it. You learn to read people and sometimes ignoring people... actually makes the situation worse! When you ignore people, even if its mean. Its not always their issue. Sometimes you dont and wont know what the issue is. Sometimes it has nothing to do with them either but you cant assume you know why they say mean things. We all say mean things, lets be honest about that. In a perfect world you wouldn't see mean people.
I had tears in my eyes, seeing how hard-working, strong, genuine, and brave you are. That you just made it work, put so much dedication and effort in it, working on accepting yourself and your abilities, and that you got yourself out there again to cheer. Also showing us your struggles. Its amazing you are such a role model. And you have that great flow when you cheer!! Also your whole personality shines and is cheerful along with the choreography!! No it's not regular, its awesome!! :) sending you love.. Btw i also have a heart tattooo on my pinkie, random i know, but sending love from pinkie to pinkie haha
There is just one word to describe you, it is "Courageous". Now I don't know anything about cheer, but it's very apparent you were born to be one. You are an inspiration to anyone who has any obstacles preventing them from pursuing their dream! Positive wishes being sent your way!!
I really appreciate you admitting that and when you broke down. This happening to you IS unfair but its amazingly refreshingly seeing a human being, being a human. And saying its ok to. Keep it up.... Magic is real!
The fact your even trying to do it again at all only 6months after all you’ve been through is astounding! You are such a positive inspirational person! Xxx
You are such an inspiration! As someone who has disabilities myself, I think it is so important to focus on what you do have instead of what you don’t. Not only are we fortunate enough to have those things but we also need to cherish those things. We all only have one live and things may not go our way but you are here for a reason. God gave us our lives for a reason.
I’m a dancer, I had a brain tumour, was was dancing 12 weeks after surgery, even when I was told I was probably not going to walk again. But my determination like yours, made it easy, but it was super hard, because of the brain stimulation. You are a true inspiration girl. Sending love from AUS.
You said, "I went from being strong to not being strong." But GIRL! You are strong! Mental toughness is the name of your game. Keep moving forward. Your physical strength will return.
CONGRATS!!! You look really good, Makayla, I'm actually super excited to see your range of motion, and control and like usual, practice will be soooo good for you and you WILL keep improving. Who WOULDNT want you?? You have so much experience, dedication, and your personality is incredible.♡
It’s going to be so cool to see your progress over the years with your movements! Every practice session is physical therapy! You’re only going to get better! 💪🏼
Makayla I am so proud of you!! As a dancer I can see how much effort, willpower and determination you have and those are amazing qualities. You're doing incredibly and you should be so proud of yourself because you are doing so many things that push you out of your comfort zone which will only make you stronger. We're with you all the way!
As a former competitive and high school cheerleader, I never ONCE thought about your motions as “sloppy”. You’ve made so many strides; you’re incredible, and I’m so proud of you for continuing to pursue what you love!!!🤍
Your the true meaning and example of a cheerleader! Thank you for being an inspiration to everyone by sharing your story! Your gorgeous inside and out! God bless you!
Just because you’re not where you think you should be. Doesn’t mean that you are not amazing. Even though you have days/moments where you feel as though struggling. Please remember you’re so amazing! Your videos are helping so many people! Keep rocking the world!! I’m so excited for you!!
Manages is THE BEST CHEERLEADER EVER!!! A cheerleader Smiles to convey her spirit and joy...Makayla has the best smile!! Cheerleaders have an upbeat attitude...Makayla has the best upbeat attitude.!! Cheerleaders are the ones who inspire others.Makayla is the most inspirational person EVER!! I love your cheering!! Keep on going...we are all behind you.
Mak- you are truly amazing and inspire me everyday!! I love that you do not let your “new body” define who you are as a person. Seeing you absolutely KILL all of the dance moves and the cheer moves me to tears💜💜 I am so proud of you!! I love that you accept your sad emotions but never let them stop you from achieving your goals. As a past dancer that was never as flexible as anyone else or couldn’t spot as well as everyone else, I know how hard the comparisons can be. But you are AMAZING and I can’t wait to see how much you improve further in the upcoming months❤️ congratulations!!!!
It’s the way you kept saying “I know it’s so sloppy” but as a cheerleader myself, this is so inspiring!!! You are so amazing and people will always be their own hardest self critic. Keep doing you!! So happy of how far you have come❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations!! I’m so proud of you! You’re awesome! You are so much exactly like my daughter who was a CA & Spirit girl as well. I know your drive for perfection as it’s just like my daughter’s. You are perfect! Girl, you’ve got this! God makes perfection so you are perfect! I love your talent and your drive ❤️❤️ I have watched this several times! The joy & nerves of cheer tryouts & the emotional release of having done it and then the Making the Team excitement at the end! My heart is full! ❤️❤️
There are some dancers that have learned how to incorporate their chairs into the moves, even made it to broadway. Never give up! You are so inspiring!
Please talk with your medical team about your neck. If that move doesn't feel right for your neck, it might be in your best interest to listen to your body. But, im not a dr just have my own neck issues to listen to. That's why you caught my attention when you said your neck didn't like it. So, please check with your medical care team. So proud of you so blessed by you. Keep on keepin on
Honey you did a better job then what I could even ATTEMPT! do not apologize for it's being "sloppy" you are literally freaking killing it and it makes me so proud to be able to look up to you. You're 10 years younger than I am and yet you are showing me how to conquer all things. Go queen
I’m super impressed at how far you’ve come. Don’t sweat it, like you said you still have a lot of time to improve. I’m rooting for you! Your videos always bring smiles to me face :)
congratulations!!! your incredible work ethic, positive attitude, and determination are so commendable and inspiring!! even in just the short time I've been subscribed, it's been such a delight following your updates on this channel, and as a viewer, I'm so excited to see what else you accomplish in the future!! best of luck with your continued cheer career!!
Words can’t even describe how proud I am of you! Makayla you are such an inspirational human being and what I love most is seeing you never give up. Thank you for being you, sending you the best of wishes!!💜
The thing I use to help myself when I’m struggling doing the things that used to be easy for it me is to remind myself why I’m doing it. Like for rowing I think about how it’s somthing I love, being outside and in that community, so instead of focusing on being frustrated I focus on all my friends cheering me on. Your so strong, don’t know much about cheer but I think you looked great!
Makayla, we are always our worst critic, which is a strong force driving us to perfection. I was watching your arm movements, aware you had some current limitations, enjoying your choreographic modifications and then I saw your face. The beaming joy and excitement from your radiant smile and sparkling eyes just exploded from you. God bless that was amazing, you can't beat that girl. You can't beat that! You'll have time to strengthen muscles and get back those memory movements. Keep up the choreography mods and get the team involved. In my mind I see the potential for some sweet dance moves with you in your chair. Get super creative with it!
Such an inspiration, doing something you love even if your struggling and it’s hard is a very strong thing to be able to do. I loved doing cheer but I never did any competitions because of my stage fright fear. It really is so inspirational how you are handling this situation especially at such a young age . ❤️
You absolutely rock!!! I am 57 and feel so inspired by your energy and positivity. The whole world needs more makayla nobles in it. Never stop being your fabulous self❤️
Your positive attitude and persistence is amazing! To be cheering only 6 months after such a serious injury is incredible. Ignore anyone who can't recognize how amazing you are doing. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
I am so happy you are doing school cheer!! I am glad you are putting yourself out there and you have already proven yourself in cheer and are an amazing cheerleader! Keep shining bc you are such an inspiration! I look forward to your post everyday and this one makes me soooo happy!!
i feel like this is going to accelerate her recovery so much!!! its all gonna come back to her and her body is going to keep pushing! youre amazing! and opening up a whole new world for wheelchair bound cheer! you go girl!
Your physical strength is amazing. You are just stronger and more at ease and in control of you body every video. You have a wide range of movement and hold yourself very well. It's a joy to see every video.
Holy shit, I use to cheer, I get the frustration you are experiencing with wanting to be able to be sharp but you are doing so fucking amazing for just getting back into it. You can tell the passion is still there. The dance is looking so so good!! Keep it up!!!!!
Girl you Never Cease to Amaze me. Seeing you Cheer again makes my Heart happy! Your Determination Is Off the Charts! You’re Truly One in a Million. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I’m so inspired by your perseverance and character. Your strength and transparency has encouraged me so much in my own life as I’m navigating my way through a very tough season. You are doing amazing and I’m so happy you are choosing to challenge yourself physically and mentally. You have so many people silently in your corner sending prayers and thoughts of happiness and joy your way. ❤️
I'm glad to see you smiling at the end and it sounds like it went well!! All your hard work payed off!! You are amazing! And an inspiration! You should be proud of yourself. Can't wait to see more.
I was in drill team in high school. When I was 20 I was diagnosed with ehlers danloss syndrome, I now walk with a cane. I also work at the school I went to. I was asked to do the alumni dance with year, I had to turn it down because I was scared I would push myself so hard I hurt myself. I know it’s not the same but I feel you sister. Keep it up
Try to take it easy on yourself emotionally. You’re doing amazing. You don’t have to be exactly like you were before the accident. Your progress is so impressive and inspiring.
Wow you are honestly amazing... even after such a traumatic injury you are able to cheer and dance better than most (definitely me anyway!!!!) and your radiant energy shines through so brightly. You are such a gift and thank goodness for UA-cam so we can all have a dose of Makayla to push us to reach our goals xxxx
Makayla ❤ your kindness, enthusiasm, determination and genuine heart are a huge inspiration to so many. I feel honored to know you, in your sweet humanness, as a true beacon of light and God's love on this earth. Keep up the great work!!!!! You're truly amaze-balls!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
You really are incredible. You inspire me so much. I would be curled in a ball feeling angry and sorry for myself and you are doing cheerleading tryouts!. You are phenominal. 💙💙💙
Girl you have so much gumption and I love it! Seriously impressed (former college cheerleader here ). Not sure if your school uses poms for games but we all used to tie our poms so we didn’t have to actually hold them and could have hands free to stunt/tuck etc - so we would tie a bunch of the strands together by the handle and slide 2-3 fingers through and then the Pom would sit almost on top of our fist after . Was thinking about how this might be an easy way to adapt poms for you and wanted to share! Can’t wait to see the joy you bring to the sidelines this season!
Mak!! I am so proud of you! I thought you looked great. Then you talked about how hard it is to raise your arms up and then you showed us your chant and I was blown away! Girl if you are doing this good now, I can’t wait to see how you will blow it away as the season goes on! Give YOURSELF some grace! You are amazing and doing great things. I love how you made great modifications. Excited to see the season!
Let me say this: this girl doesn’t let a bad thing that has happened to her stop her from being amazing! I have been there every step of the way! I live in prosper also and I saw you today and you were amazing!! We are so proud of you and we have followed you throughout your journey we love you so much!
You are amazing. I was a cheerleader for 15 years and never once thought oh my gosh she needs to be sharper. My first thought was, no matter the circumstances I am so proud of you for continuing to find a way to be a part of your sport, your passion, your life. You are an inspiration for so many, and I hope you realize that. You are incredible!! Keep fighting sweet girl!! 💜
Im so envious of watching you just kickin ass in life lol i haven't achieved a fraction of what you have and i just want you to know we see all this hard work you are doing and we're all impressed. With that said, i also want to take a moment to call out how absolutly wonderful your family is. Im sure yall must fight and drive eachother nuts often, but you can see just how unconditionally loved by them you truly are. They are truly good people for standing strong right by your side. Ill be looking foward to the next huge hurdle you leap like its no big deal lol good luck with cheer
You are a ray of sunshine and your positive and determined spirit is absolutely incredible! It’s okay to have high standards as it’s a motivator it’s also okay to breakdown when you have moments of feeling frustrated, but your attitude is what makes you unique and easy to admire, even though we’ve never met it’s an honour to know you! You do you! It’s the best and only way! Ignore negativity of hurtful comments - it will make you stronger! Well done beautiful girl! 🙌🏼
For someone who knows absolutely nothing about cheering and is always sitting in the crowd, I thought you looked amazing!! I totally saw the enthusiasm and excitement on your face and in your moves! Can’t wait to see more videos of you on the team! 😊
You are incredible! The knowledge you have and the passion for it shines through! I've got to let my 14 year old watch your videos! Thank you for sharing your life and being so real. You are amazing Makayla.
Keep on smiling girl. So many people crawl in a hole and dont want ot live their lives and want to give up .... whether it be accident, injury, sickness, etc. You are an inspiration
You improved so much from Monday to Thursday. As you keep practicing you'll get even better!!! The more you do the stronger you'll get! You've got this!!! Congratulations!!!!
You’re amazing, Makayla! I admire your honesty, passion, drive and positive attitude. Keep up the good work. We are all on Team Makayla routing you on. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers🤗♥️🙏
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Your attitude is so inspiring!!! The progress that you've made in 6 short months is incredible! I truly believe that you will be back pre-accident... the strength and perseverance that you continue to have will get you there! Congrats on making the team!!
You are so beautiful. That smile is gorgeous! You have an amazing vocabulary and very articulate. You are a future leader / coach / motivational speaker. Whether you're in or out of that chair - you are AMAZING, talented, strong, brave, smart and BEAUTIFUL!!! The chair does NOT define you. The future is yours to shape. Can't wait to watch you grow and embrace all your God-given gifts to the fullest. And there are many. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. Hugs and more hugs from Houston!
1. This was such a fun, cute video. It took me back to my cheer days-- though I never continued with it beyond elementary school 2. I think that part of you talking about how you mentally know how to do something but coming to terms with your body's new ways of moving and having to adapt is so important. Having that perspective to give yourself the grace to learn while staying focused on your goals is something you can't really teach-- its inherent and something that's going to take you far no matter where you decide to go in the future. 3. Every mental break down is valid. You asked us to give you grace, remember to give yourself grace, too. I don't have to tell you this isn't just some minor thing. You're absolutely amazing and we're all behind you
Just because someone can't physically do something according to a standard, doesn't mean people don't see the passion in what you're doing. People's spirits are recognized more than just a movement. Keep on killing it 👍
Absolutely!!!!!🙌🏻
You go girl!!!!!
I wish that was true. Passion is often over looked because of standards in many things in life.
Facts! 💜💜💜💜
Did you make the squad!!??? Good luck!
Exactly it’s about spirt and energy and I say she’s definitely got both of those
the way this girl doesn't let her limitations stop her happiness is so inspiring, thank you Makayla for staying so consistent and faithful 💕💕

“But no excuses, no excuses. I’m doing this and I’m gonna nail it” I LOVE THIS ENERGY

Exactly ❤️❤️❤️💕💕
Moxie is the perfect word to describe her spirit! Seeing her progress has been amazing, she's a fighter and is going to go far!

Always know we have to adapt, please know I’m not creeping your channel when I was looking for other channels with people in wheelchairs. I found it by chance about three months back and watching you struggle coming home from the hospital. I remembered what it was like. I encourage you to be your best self and keep doing what you’re doing.
My children went through all their life with me being in a wheelchair and being a para.
Your faith will also see you through the tough times, God never leaves our side.
Congratulations on getting on the cheer team, this is what you need to keep u motivated.
Exercise will help keep you healthy to, I do boxercise aerobics and wheelchair yoga, they all are so good for you.
Blessings to you and your family.
Makayla you are literally in the top 1% of amazing human beings on this earth. ☀️🌎
She is recovering and adjusting so quickly! I can’t believe she’s already cheerleading again. She’s doing so amazing. Very few people have her patience and mental strength.
You’re doing incredibly Makayla! I’m also dealing with disability and learning and adjusting to our new lives is a huge problem-solving task that takes so much patience and effort. You’re doing wonderfully and I’m so glad you’re continuing with cheer xx
To be honest even though you can‘t do every motion anymore, you do it better than most people! Cheerleading isn‘t just about hitting your motions perfectly but it‘s all about the right spirit and you DEFINITELY still have it! This makes everyone forget about you not tumbling and instead doing a motion or you not being able to clap perfectly. Especially for highschool cheerleading, people focus way more on your spirit and probably most of the people in the crowd won‘t even see what‘s wrong about your motion. Keep up that great spirit and you‘ll keep being a great cheerleader 😘
You are doing very hard things very well. I’m not just talking about the moves and the cheering … you are getting back into cheerleading period. That is extremely hard. Just doing that and then combined with the movement and the cheers themselves it’s beyond incredible. I have mad respect for your incredible spirit and drive. You give off such positive energy and it really rubs off on others. You can see that within the comments. Be gentle with yourself. Be proud of yourself! You are doing amazing things!! 📣 🙌🏻👏🏻💕
I’ve had a tough past few weeks with a lot of changes in my life… looking at your videos gives me the strength to persevere. When you’re feeling down, I hope you know how big of an inspiration you are to a lot of people on here. Thank you.
I get it. I lost my leg 3 years ago, and until I got back on my horse, I didn't feel like I was whole. Cheer is your horse! 🐎📣
Makayla don’t be hard on yourself - JUST the fact your trying out says so much! If people say mean things IGNORE them - It’s their issue not yours 📣
thats not realistic though to ignore. We dont usually ignore, we learn to tolerate. Tolerating can be more important to learn. An able bodied person can have mean things said to them too. Some jobs get mean things told to them daily and you dont ignore it. You cant ignore it, you learn to deal with it. You learn to read people and sometimes ignoring people... actually makes the situation worse! When you ignore people, even if its mean. Its not always their issue. Sometimes you dont and wont know what the issue is. Sometimes it has nothing to do with them either but you cant assume you know why they say mean things. We all say mean things, lets be honest about that. In a perfect world you wouldn't see mean people.
2:30 her puppy so cute! She wanted to play! Makayla has made so much progress! She is a warrior!👸
I had tears in my eyes, seeing how hard-working, strong, genuine, and brave you are. That you just made it work, put so much dedication and effort in it, working on accepting yourself and your abilities, and that you got yourself out there again to cheer. Also showing us your struggles. Its amazing you are such a role model. And you have that great flow when you cheer!! Also your whole personality shines and is cheerful along with the choreography!! No it's not regular, its awesome!! :) sending you love..
Btw i also have a heart tattooo on my pinkie, random i know, but sending love from pinkie to pinkie haha
There is just one word to describe you, it is "Courageous". Now I don't know anything about cheer, but it's very apparent you were born to be one. You are an inspiration to anyone who has any obstacles preventing them from pursuing their dream! Positive wishes being sent your way!!
I really appreciate you admitting that and when you broke down.
This happening to you IS unfair but its amazingly refreshingly seeing a human being, being a human.
And saying its ok to.
Keep it up.... Magic is real!
The fact your even trying to do it again at all only 6months after all you’ve been through is astounding! You are such a positive inspirational person! Xxx
You are such an inspiration!
As someone who has disabilities myself, I think it is so important to focus on what you do have instead of what you don’t. Not only are we fortunate enough to have those things but we also need to cherish those things. We all only have one live and things may not go our way but you are here for a reason. God gave us our lives for a reason.
I’m a dancer, I had a brain tumour, was was dancing 12 weeks after surgery, even when I was told I was probably not going to walk again. But my determination like yours, made it easy, but it was super hard, because of the brain stimulation. You are a true inspiration girl. Sending love from AUS.
Your moves are extremely good & sharp for you only being 6 months out. Your determination is awesome. Your voice sounded great. Good job!!
Perseverance is the best thing you are giving people right now. I’m glad you’re selling your paintings. They’re awesome.
So happy to hear this!! I felt like you would be an ambassador for chair cheer! You are breaking barriers for so many people, girl!!
You said, "I went from being strong to not being strong." But GIRL! You are strong! Mental toughness is the name of your game. Keep moving forward. Your physical strength will return.
CONGRATS!!! You look really good, Makayla, I'm actually super excited to see your range of motion, and control and like usual, practice will be soooo good for you and you WILL keep improving. Who WOULDNT want you?? You have so much experience, dedication, and your personality is incredible.♡
It’s going to be so cool to see your progress over the years with your movements! Every practice session is physical therapy! You’re only going to get better! 💪🏼
Makayla I am so proud of you!! As a dancer I can see how much effort, willpower and determination you have and those are amazing qualities. You're doing incredibly and you should be so proud of yourself because you are doing so many things that push you out of your comfort zone which will only make you stronger. We're with you all the way!
As a former competitive and high school cheerleader, I never ONCE thought about your motions as “sloppy”. You’ve made so many strides; you’re incredible, and I’m so proud of you for continuing to pursue what you love!!!🤍
Your the true meaning and example of a cheerleader! Thank you for being an inspiration to everyone by sharing your story! Your gorgeous inside and out! God bless you!
Just because you’re not where you think you should be. Doesn’t mean that you are not amazing. Even though you have days/moments where you feel as though struggling. Please remember you’re so amazing! Your videos are helping so many people! Keep rocking the world!!
I’m so excited for you!!
Manages is THE BEST CHEERLEADER EVER!!! A cheerleader Smiles to convey her spirit and joy...Makayla has the best smile!! Cheerleaders have an upbeat attitude...Makayla has the best upbeat attitude.!! Cheerleaders are the ones who inspire others.Makayla is the most inspirational person EVER!! I love your cheering!! Keep on going...we are all behind you.
Mak- you are truly amazing and inspire me everyday!! I love that you do not let your “new body” define who you are as a person. Seeing you absolutely KILL all of the dance moves and the cheer moves me to tears💜💜 I am so proud of you!! I love that you accept your sad emotions but never let them stop you from achieving your goals. As a past dancer that was never as flexible as anyone else or couldn’t spot as well as everyone else, I know how hard the comparisons can be. But you are AMAZING and I can’t wait to see how much you improve further in the upcoming months❤️ congratulations!!!!
Your perseverance and determination is outstanding! You are fabulous and congratulations!!!!
It’s the way you kept saying “I know it’s so sloppy” but as a cheerleader myself, this is so inspiring!!! You are so amazing and people will always be their own hardest self critic. Keep doing you!! So happy of how far you have come❤️❤️❤️
You are just radiating joy and passion when you cheer, it’s amazing to watch. Thank you for being such an inspiration for us all.
Congratulations!! I’m so proud of you! You’re awesome! You are so much exactly like my daughter who was a CA & Spirit girl as well. I know your drive for perfection as it’s just like my daughter’s. You are perfect! Girl, you’ve got this! God makes perfection so you are perfect! I love your talent and your drive ❤️❤️ I have watched this several times! The joy & nerves of cheer tryouts & the emotional release of having done it and then the Making the Team excitement at the end! My heart is full! ❤️❤️
So proud, praying for you all the time, I love the positivity and energy. We all love you and keep it up!!! 👍
There are some dancers that have learned how to incorporate their chairs into the moves, even made it to broadway. Never give up! You are so inspiring!
The fact that you are giving the effort to get back into it is so admirable. The amount of strength that you have is incredible!
Please talk with your medical team about your neck. If that move doesn't feel right for your neck, it might be in your best interest to listen to your body. But, im not a dr just have my own neck issues to listen to. That's why you caught my attention when you said your neck didn't like it. So, please check with your medical care team.
So proud of you so blessed by you.
Keep on keepin on
Honey you did a better job then what I could even ATTEMPT! do not apologize for it's being "sloppy" you are literally freaking killing it and it makes me so proud to be able to look up to you. You're 10 years younger than I am and yet you are showing me how to conquer all things. Go queen
The fact that you are able to do it at all is a miracle! The fact that you did it so well is inspiring! Girl, you got this!
Wow! Your hand and arm movements have improved greatly. Way to go with the therapy!!!!
Right? Even from like 2 months ago! She’s amazing!
I noticed that too
She is amazing. Her mom and sister are just as amazing.
I’m super impressed at how far you’ve come. Don’t sweat it, like you said you still have a lot of time to improve. I’m rooting for you! Your videos always bring smiles to me face :)
congratulations!!! your incredible work ethic, positive attitude, and determination are so commendable and inspiring!! even in just the short time I've been subscribed, it's been such a delight following your updates on this channel, and as a viewer, I'm so excited to see what else you accomplish in the future!! best of luck with your continued cheer career!!
Words can’t even describe how proud I am of you! Makayla you are such an inspirational human being and what I love most is seeing you never give up. Thank you for being you, sending you the best of wishes!!💜
Love seeing you come back as a cheerleader. Your power and focus is stunning and one of a kind. And your positivity is so contagious.
The thing I use to help myself when I’m struggling doing the things that used to be easy for it me is to remind myself why I’m doing it. Like for rowing I think about how it’s somthing I love, being outside and in that community, so instead of focusing on being frustrated I focus on all my friends cheering me on. Your so strong, don’t know much about cheer but I think you looked great!
Makayla, we are always our worst critic, which is a strong force driving us to perfection. I was watching your arm movements, aware you had some current limitations, enjoying your choreographic modifications and then I saw your face. The beaming joy and excitement from your radiant smile and sparkling eyes just exploded from you. God bless that was amazing, you can't beat that girl. You can't beat that!
You'll have time to strengthen muscles and get back those memory movements. Keep up the choreography mods and get the team involved. In my mind I see the potential for some sweet dance moves with you in your chair. Get super creative with it!
Way to go Makayla! You rocked your practice routine. You're so strong and determined, that part of you hasn't changed. ♥️
Such an inspiration, doing something you love even if your struggling and it’s hard is a very strong thing to be able to do. I loved doing cheer but I never did any competitions because of my stage fright fear. It really is so inspirational how you are handling this situation especially at such a young age . ❤️
Spirit shines through . Bigger and bolder than any cheer trick... such an inspiration.
You have no idea how much you inspire so many people, myself included. You are such a strong person that you don’t even see it. You go, girl!!
You absolutely rock!!!
I am 57 and feel so inspired by your energy and positivity. The whole world needs more makayla nobles in it.
Never stop being your fabulous self❤️
Your positive attitude and persistence is amazing! To be cheering only 6 months after such a serious injury is incredible. Ignore anyone who can't recognize how amazing you are doing. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
I am so happy you are doing school cheer!! I am glad you are putting yourself out there and you have already proven yourself in cheer and are an amazing cheerleader! Keep shining bc you are such an inspiration! I look forward to your post everyday and this one makes me soooo happy!!
i feel like this is going to accelerate her recovery so much!!! its all gonna come back to her and her body is going to keep pushing! youre amazing! and opening up a whole new world for wheelchair bound cheer! you go girl!
Your physical strength is amazing. You are just stronger and more at ease and in control of you body every video. You have a wide range of movement and hold yourself very well. It's a joy to see every video.
We really are so inspired. My 15 year old boys were so touched by your strength....you give us all hope...thank you
Makayla, you never cease to amaze me. You are a rock star and you're not going to let anyone tell you, you can't!!!
Holy shit, I use to cheer, I get the frustration you are experiencing with wanting to be able to be sharp but you are doing so fucking amazing for just getting back into it. You can tell the passion is still there. The dance is looking so so good!! Keep it up!!!!!
You go girl! Every move you make is making you better...physically, mentally and spiritually. You are an inspiration to so many!!
Girl you Never Cease to Amaze me.
Seeing you Cheer again makes my
Heart happy! Your Determination
Is Off the Charts! You’re Truly
One in a Million. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I’m so inspired by your perseverance and character. Your strength and transparency has encouraged me so much in my own life as I’m navigating my way through a very tough season. You are doing amazing and I’m so happy you are choosing to challenge yourself physically and mentally. You have so many people silently in your corner sending prayers and thoughts of happiness and joy your way. ❤️
You’re doing amazing!! Give yourself grace !! You are doing so well!! It will get better each day as you get stronger each day too !!
I'm glad to see you smiling at the end and it sounds like it went well!! All your hard work payed off!!
You are amazing! And an inspiration! You should be proud of yourself. Can't wait to see more.
I was in drill team in high school. When I was 20 I was diagnosed with ehlers danloss syndrome, I now walk with a cane. I also work at the school I went to. I was asked to do the alumni dance with year, I had to turn it down because I was scared I would push myself so hard I hurt myself. I know it’s not the same but I feel you sister. Keep it up
Try to take it easy on yourself emotionally. You’re doing amazing. You don’t have to be exactly like you were before the accident. Your progress is so impressive and inspiring.
Wow you are honestly amazing... even after such a traumatic injury you are able to cheer and dance better than most (definitely me anyway!!!!) and your radiant energy shines through so brightly. You are such a gift and thank goodness for UA-cam so we can all have a dose of Makayla to push us to reach our goals xxxx
I'm glad you aren't giving up on your passion and I hope performing those movements and working with your coaches will further aid in your recovery !
Makayla ❤ your kindness, enthusiasm, determination and genuine heart are a huge inspiration to so many. I feel honored to know you, in your sweet humanness, as a true beacon of light and God's love on this earth. Keep up the great work!!!!! You're truly amaze-balls!❤🧡💛💚💙💜
You really are incredible. You inspire me so much. I would be curled in a ball feeling angry and sorry for myself and you are doing cheerleading tryouts!. You are phenominal. 💙💙💙
Girl you have so much gumption and I love it! Seriously impressed (former college cheerleader here ). Not sure if your school uses poms for games but we all used to tie our poms so we didn’t have to actually hold them and could have hands free to stunt/tuck etc - so we would tie a bunch of the strands together by the handle and slide 2-3 fingers through and then the Pom would sit almost on top of our fist after . Was thinking about how this might be an easy way to adapt poms for you and wanted to share! Can’t wait to see the joy you bring to the sidelines this season!
You are such a bright light in this sometime dark world!
God bless 🙏💪
Mak!! I am so proud of you! I thought you looked great. Then you talked about how hard it is to raise your arms up and then you showed us your chant and I was blown away! Girl if you are doing this good now, I can’t wait to see how you will blow it away as the season goes on! Give YOURSELF some grace! You are amazing and doing great things. I love how you made great modifications. Excited to see the season!
Let me say this: this girl doesn’t let a bad thing that has happened to her stop her from being amazing! I have been there every step of the way! I live in prosper also and I saw you today and you were amazing!! We are so proud of you and we have followed you throughout your journey we love you so much!
You are amazing. I was a cheerleader for 15 years and never once thought oh my gosh she needs to be sharper. My first thought was, no matter the circumstances I am so proud of you for continuing to find a way to be a part of your sport, your passion, your life. You are an inspiration for so many, and I hope you realize that. You are incredible!! Keep fighting sweet girl!! 💜
Im so envious of watching you just kickin ass in life lol i haven't achieved a fraction of what you have and i just want you to know we see all this hard work you are doing and we're all impressed. With that said, i also want to take a moment to call out how absolutly wonderful your family is. Im sure yall must fight and drive eachother nuts often, but you can see just how unconditionally loved by them you truly are. They are truly good people for standing strong right by your side.
Ill be looking foward to the next huge hurdle you leap like its no big deal lol good luck with cheer
You are a ray of sunshine and your positive and determined spirit is absolutely incredible! It’s okay to have high standards as it’s a motivator it’s also okay to breakdown when you have moments of feeling frustrated, but your attitude is what makes you unique and easy to admire, even though we’ve never met it’s an honour to know you! You do you! It’s the best and only way! Ignore negativity of hurtful comments - it will make you stronger! Well done beautiful girl! 🙌🏼
For someone who knows absolutely nothing about cheering and is always sitting in the crowd, I thought you looked amazing!! I totally saw the enthusiasm and excitement on your face and in your moves! Can’t wait to see more videos of you on the team! 😊
You are incredible! The knowledge you have and the passion for it shines through! I've got to let my 14 year old watch your videos! Thank you for sharing your life and being so real. You are amazing Makayla.
Keep on smiling girl. So many people crawl in a hole and dont want ot live their lives and want to give up .... whether it be accident, injury, sickness, etc. You are an inspiration
You are amazing. It is also so cool to see how welcoming your cheer community has been.
You improved so much from Monday to Thursday. As you keep practicing you'll get even better!!! The more you do the stronger you'll get! You've got this!!! Congratulations!!!!
I love this young woman’s attitude! So inspiring.
You’re amazing, Makayla! I admire your honesty, passion, drive and positive attitude. Keep up the good work. We are all on Team Makayla routing you on. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers🤗♥️🙏
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Your attitude is so inspiring!!! The progress that you've made in 6 short months is incredible! I truly believe that you will be back pre-accident... the strength and perseverance that you continue to have will get you there! Congrats on making the team!!
You are so beautiful. That smile is gorgeous! You have an amazing vocabulary and very articulate. You are a future leader / coach / motivational speaker. Whether you're in or out of that chair - you are AMAZING, talented, strong, brave, smart and BEAUTIFUL!!! The chair does NOT define you. The future is yours to shape. Can't wait to watch you grow and embrace all your God-given gifts to the fullest. And there are many. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. Hugs and more hugs from Houston!
1. This was such a fun, cute video. It took me back to my cheer days-- though I never continued with it beyond elementary school
2. I think that part of you talking about how you mentally know how to do something but coming to terms with your body's new ways of moving and having to adapt is so important. Having that perspective to give yourself the grace to learn while staying focused on your goals is something you can't really teach-- its inherent and something that's going to take you far no matter where you decide to go in the future.
3. Every mental break down is valid. You asked us to give you grace, remember to give yourself grace, too. I don't have to tell you this isn't just some minor thing. You're absolutely amazing and we're all behind you
