Most successful people encourage others to never lose hope and keep trying. Of course, their courage, hard work, and determination are the reasons behind their success. But it has been well-documented that many of them have a "never give up" attitude that helped them reach the top. Her endearing coach taught a talented little girl with a promising future the same lesson after she failed to perform a stunt and started crying in front of the crowd. The young cheerleader became disheartened following the failure, and the trainer had to intervene to boost her morale, as per a widely circulating video on TikTok posted by a woman named Airbnb Queen (@britt.baltazar).

The creative designer and podcaster, who claimed to be an eyewitness to the inspiring act, felt emotional seeing the little girl losing faith in herself. The latter was reportedly performing a difficult cheering stunt during an event organized at Chandler’s Basha High School. According to the video, the cheerleading aspirant was successfully performing the drill, doing flips, executing flips, being tossed into the air, and landing safely in the supporters' hands. The crowd gathered in the sports complex including seniors and school staff present were rooting for the little girl.

Everything was going well until an unfortunate failure disrupted the flawless act. The girl could not land properly after a mid-air flip. However, she was prevented from falling by both her coach and another man supporting her. She could not take the setback and tears came rolling down her cheeks. Furthermore, the little girl got completely dejected, and her confidence level plummeted. The crowd continued to rally behind her uplifting her spirits by cheerful clapping. The coach in red and also her dad got down on her level to wipe her tears. He had a word and convinced her to perform the same stunt one more time.

To everyone’s surprise, this time around, the little girl aced it. Moreover, she became happy looking at a section of spectators giving her a standing ovation. “Lil Miss Sunshine kills it on the mat,” the text overlay on the two-and-a-half-minute footage added context. “We must take a moment to commend the spotter (coach) for his unwavering focus and precision. He remained completely alert, never blinking or faltering, ensuring his attention was fully on her throughout the entire routine,” said the podcaster in another video talking about the act.

“We need to give it up to all her (the girl’s) little sass,” she added, lauding the aspirant. Several others who got inspired by the video with 7.3 million views started appreciating the girl and her coach. “The gentle coaching and reassurance provided to her during this moment, coupled with the encouragement to try again, was exactly what her young spirit needed,” wrote @merejoyuana19. “Her little mishap made this even better for me. It's obvious she is special and great, but she showed strength in not giving up,” @texasgirlk911 added.
