Cheerleaders Try To Keep Up With Synchronized Divers | SELF

[@JudyCZ]

"Whatever feels more comfortable." "None of it." 😂 Loved that honesty.

[@JuMixBoox]

I just love the mutual respect between the athletes in this. They switch between teaching and learning, but are always respectful. I just imagine them going out to drinks together afterwards.

I feel like Olivia and Kristen are so good at their own sports their bodies don’t know how to move any other way (Olivia was slightly awkward in the cheerleading video). I love how fearless and eager everyone is to try something new though.

[@TheNormalOddball]

I agree! They have their sports ingrained so deep they can't pick up others 😅

[@allieren]

@@TheNormalOddball This was kind of how I was when I was studying music in college as a violin major/cello minor and tried to take a guitar class-suddenly having frets was very confusing 😂

[@lj3622]

I love how even when they messed up they still gave them nothing but praise/positive reinforcement and good scores. In both videos, everyone was so professional and humble 🥺

[@treeflamingo]

One of my favorite things about this whole series is seeing how different athletes’ bodies can be. There are so many different ways to be strong. (Edited to fix typo)

[@selene_plays]

The one who represents the Philippines warms my heart

[@hayleyleiberman8491]

Love this combo! Looking forward to the divers keeping up with the cheerleaders! It will be really interesting to see how their dry land training translates to cheerleading.

[@anne-ni5dl]

they made a video

[@alexandramejia5947]

Where? Can u send a link?

[@BMass83]

As a dive coach I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this! I’ve also coached HS cheer and the strength these sports need are similar even if nothing else is. My team also LOVES Olivia 💚💚💚. She is the sweetest and such an amazing teacher

[@avasmith5630]

This is such an exciting combination.

[@prettyfaerie7]

Literally this series producers are 🔥🔥🔥

[@rachdoesmagic]

During the final challenge I thought “these guys are good at cheering each others!” And then I realised 😂

[@mariebourgot4949]

^^

[@Sweetzerlandia]

I don't mean this in any leering kind of way but watching Joey's muscles move under his skin was so fascinating. He had to have like 0% bodyfat so every muscle was visible as it did it's job and it was so cool to watch! I can't imagine the time he puts into his craft to achieve that.

[@hannahgay7919]

I love seeing the confidence in both when teaching their sport but also the eagerness and willingness to try each other’s. You can definitely tell where they are most comfortable and confident

[@jfluter]

My fear with the hurdle on the board is that I'm going to slip off of the board. I know that they design the boards so that this is much less likely to happen, but that fear is still there. lol.

[@elletkd]

Same lol

[@nick_h143]

know this doesn’t really help, but after 6 years of diving, i’ve never “slipped” on any board. But I have scraped my feet up on the grip of the board, the stuff is no joke.

[@LapostropheAura]

They really improved so much in just one day!!! Was so excited DJ went for the one and a half!

[@Tumini1026]

It's funny because you see how their bodies automatically react like they do in cheerleading and then they try to switch and do that little "aaah!" Before touching the water xD Kristen looked nervous but I'm sure if she gets comfortable she'll be amazing

[@Afrinaturality]

As a beginner swimmer, I'm just in admiration of everyone's comfort in that deep water. 😂

[@giogremory]

Lol same 😅

[@funshinebear4822]

Ditto! They're so buoyant!

[@tweedyparam8951]

Both cheerleading and synchronised diving is hard. Awsome!!!! Good job guys.

[@tweedyparam8951]

I love the diversity of the groups. You guys are awsome!!!!!

[@blkgm7005]

Haley rocked out following those instructions and transitioning well to dvivng! DJ was great too! But the actual divers, great teachers...beautiful to watch them in their craft🥰

[@michellejames2447]

I love the diversity of body types.

[@johnnytsunami420]

I hope these three cheerleaders show up in more episodes!! I love their energy and willingness to learn

[@Emily_aka_Lemony]

As a beginner diver, let me put it on record that this is more impressive on the cheerleaders' part than it looks!!!!!!!!

[@uhcuhc.]

21:44 both girls were even doing the synchro when cheering

[@ijlayugan4149]

this series is so underrated please dont stop

[@emmastinson49]

I love to see how everyone is so encouraging and respectful of each other and how everyone's body shape, ethnicity and personality is beautifully unique. I'd love to see these same people teach the divers cheerleading!

[@mevrouwroos]

Love the synchronized excitement at 21:43

[@DominiqueKooper666]

what I love the most here is the fact that even if it doesn't go exactly the way they intended, they always find something to praise. that's super motivating and very kind.

[@Saiege]

I once did a professional dive off a diving board (had been on swim team for 5 years). It was the coolest feeling ever. It's like time slowed down too. Never could do that again after that one 😭

[@KensieP]

My wife coached acro for a long time and many athletes retired and switched to diving for college so this was super cool to see some of the basics and how related it is in certain aspects.

[@mo-tk5yl]

athletes supporting athletes, we love to see it

[@CC-si3cr]

It was really nice to see everyone so encouraging and positive with each other.

[@jasmine.nickole]

the cheerleaders like patiently smiling during the hurdle part bc they do the same thing on the ground is so funny to me

[@Catalina-Winemixer]

I was wondering why it seemed they were being so sarcastic but nobody was talking about it lmao.

[@chima1140]

I really wish this was a mini series! I love their rapport and would really love to see them in mock competitions with other “diver turned cheerleader” teams

[@rmannayr2129]

BOTH OF THESE GO PERFECT TOGETHER!

[@filsh8546]

Wth this was so wholesome! The respect and positivity all around was 💯

[@lexadex]

The cheerleaders cheering each other at the end - they were right in their element with that mat talk! Er, pool talk!

[@lovedbymarii]

Do y’all not know kory little says boing in his videos and he’s saying come on cheerleaders because those people are cheerleaders there trying out diving

[@unknownuser3000]

I love these videos they're very uplifting and the editing always feels inspiring to try new things

[@timroden6617]

I am impressed. I almost broke my neck when I learned to dive first then I tried trampoline. My body didn't want to go all the way over.

[@madisonharte7623]

I like how DJ full on chucked a 1 1/2 front summy tuck, I can't even get my reverse yet-

[@crowcalls]

So cool to watch this! I was a gymnast, and my mom did springboard diving followed by synchronized trampoline. This gave me a much better reference for her sport!

[@AuthenticAna]

💓 to watch both sports! 😊 Glad there are Pinoys 🇵🇭 in this ... 😍

[@prettyfaerie7]

I LOVE THIS SERIES

[@josejones246]

[@jersla12]

I LOVE these. I played water polo for years and got such a kick out of the water polo/synchronized swimming video. These are a delight.

[@jameycollins725]

This was fun to watch! Do they have beginning diving lessons for those 50 yrs old and older?

[@BMass83]

Many clubs or local pools do! It would be listed under Masters Diving and I know people who have dove into their 90’s

If I knew how to hold my breath under water without using my hands, and how to open my eyes under water without the pain, that would be my first step in learning how to do this.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I love how their tumbling experience crosses over with some differences

[@btarczy5067]

Ever since a friend of mine hit the edge of the diving platform when we were in primary school times I avoided those things like the plague. Respect to those mad people who dive )

[@lillysmithh]

as a former diver myself, i feel like it’s super important to keep your core tight, bc if not you will smack😅

[@tolotwin5503]

These athletes are such cuties, and freaking killing it! I'd be so scared to jump on that board!

[@nakynie463]

It’s always so thrilling to watch

[@Cat1-2]

14:16 had me cracking up so hard.

[@DarkkestNite]

16:18 the automatic, synchronized clean when they put their arms down - muscle memory never quits, lol

[@Natalia-09]

I feel like it would be really cool to see lacrosse players. Lacrosse has a lot of similarities with other sports and quite a few unique characteristics so it would be cool to see

[@rmannayr2129]

[@kenielyabrown3113]

This isn’t even about how differently they’re shaped it’s about the sport This video has nothing to do with what you are saying They weren’t even comparing themselves to each other so your comment is kinda out of nowhere Of course their body differences are noticeable but definitely *NOT* the point of the video *at all*

[@kathymclaughlin3327]

Such good teaching tips for beginning diving!

[@auspiciouscloud8786]

A short quick bust of air out of your nose as your face hits the water, will keep the water out of your nose. Practice off the board first, because you don’t want to blow out all your air, just a little and enough to keep the water out.

[@katherinecanita6962]

Much respect to these athletes 💪🏻

[@Ceduria]

Great series!

[@ddot9566]

Loved this! But let's be real. Those scores were sweet but not accurate. Hayley won that hands down. DJ was so brave to go for a new dive and I thought he did a fantastic job. Kristen was so sweet but she was struggling and I don't know how folks were giving her a 9 or a 10. I'm super competitive but I know I would have earned a 0 and been happy with my little circle number because I'm scared of heights but at least it would have been fair.
