Colts Cheerleaders On Audition Disasters: How They Recovered And Lessons Learned

[Blue]

A student at Purdue at the time, she left West Lafayette for her interview in Indy and realized her gas tank was empty. She rolled into the nearest station on fumes - only to realize she didn’t have her wallet. At that point, she did the only thing she could think of - and called her mom.


“I was crying because I literally had no wallet, no money, and I was on fumes. She was like, ‘Ok. Do you see any nice cars in the parking lot?’ and I was like, ‘No.’ She was like, ‘Go inside and ask if he’ll give you money and you can bring it tomorrow.’ I was like, ‘I can’t do that.’ She goes, ‘Take the phone in to the guy working inside.’ So I hand him the phone and say, ‘My mom is on the phone.’ He talked to her and whatever she said worked because he goes, ‘Bring me 20 dollars tomorrow.’”


Now retiring after two seasons, it’s a story she shares with others to put this week in perspective.
