00:00All right, y'all, let's see that pyramid.
00:07Y'all gonna have to hit zero, you wanna compete at Daytona.
00:10Coaching college cheer has been my life's work.
00:12I am currently one championship shy of being the winningest coach in
00:17college cheer history.
00:19Can I win the title?
00:21I can, I will, I must.
00:23I have put together the finest, the most athletic,
00:26the most disciplined teams to ever take the mat.
00:35Oh, this is not them.
00:54This is my 14th in a row for
00:56Sammy Davis Senior, junior college.
00:58And that ties me with my former coach, Marge Hargeberg.
01:01Yep, there she is right there.
01:02She's my inspiration.
01:03What a monster.
01:05Lord, Marge used to just really scream at me
01:07and say very mean things about my legs.
01:10And that did not make me a better cheerleader,
01:12but it did make me a better coach.
01:14As I build my athletes up, I don't tear them down.
01:17There he is.
01:18Dean Martin.
01:19Hey, this is the camera crew that's following me as I pursue my 15th championship.
01:28Hello.
01:29Listen, I was sent a disturbing...
01:32Speak up, honey.
01:33If it's not interesting, they'll cut it out.
01:34Y'all cut it out.
01:35Yeah.
01:38I was sent a disturbing video of you at your team's victory party.
01:44And the award for best booty goes to...
01:48Team Martin.
01:49I don't know who took that.
01:50You shouldn't be drinking with your team.
01:52And you certainly shouldn't be body shaming your chill eaters.
01:54I would've killed to win best booty back in my day.
01:57I'm a mama bear for my team, and you know that.
02:00He knows that.
02:02So, I have been asked to be fired.
02:06What?
02:07What?
02:08What?
02:09All right, come on.
02:10There's no crying and cheer.
02:11What?
02:12Move.
02:13What?
02:14Team, I need you to be strong right now.
02:16I'm trying.
02:17This is .
02:18I say if Courtney leaves, we all leave.
02:20Hey, hey, hey, hey.
02:21No one's leaving.
02:22Well, I am.
02:23Right.
02:24And in the meantime, our best assistant coach, Tammy, is going to be taking over.
02:29Uh...
02:30Yeah.
02:31No!
02:32Like, no!
02:33Tammy.
02:34No!
02:35No!
02:36Excuse me.
02:38Coach is Tiny?
02:39First of all, it's pronounced Istiny.
02:41Second of all, which is really, first of all, I'm still assistant coach Istiny.
02:46Will you step up?
02:47You know, of course, if I'm asked to be head coach, I will reluctantly.
02:51No, I mean, step up so we can see you.
02:52Oh.
02:53Can we start over?
02:54I mean, can you believe that, Booney?
02:55I'm a scandal.
02:56Because of that dumb videotape.
02:57I got a good mind to get a job at a school that appreciates what I do.
02:58Okay.
02:59Time out, Coach.
03:00Okay?
03:01I'm gonna have to call a flag on the play.
03:02You have not taken a day to yourself in 20 years.
03:03You think maybe things happen for a reason?
03:04Maybe take a little you time for once in your life?
03:05Maybe even start a little team of our own?
03:06Yeah.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Yeah.
03:09After I woke up and learned to, um...
03:10Oh, what's the word?
03:11After I woke up and learned to, um...
03:12Oh, what's the word?
03:13Talk again.
03:14I asked Courtney to marry me.
03:15Yeah.
03:16I'm gonna have to ask Courtney to marry me.
03:17I'm gonna have to take a little you time for once in your life.
03:19Maybe even start a little team of our own.
03:22Coach and I were high school sweethearts.
03:24And I got a scholarship to QB, Texas Tech.
03:28But the Lord had other plans.
03:30Yeah, after I woke up and learned to talk again, I asked Courtney to marry me.
03:45And I got a job coaching football at Sammy Davis Senior Junior College, and she coached cheer.
03:50Hey, did I tell y'all about my head injury?
03:52I just can't have my legacy be some best booty award, you know?
03:56Mm-hmm.
03:57You let me win one more championship, all right?
04:00And then, I'll go out on top, and then I will retire.
04:04Mm-hmm.
04:04Hey, this time I promise.
04:06You being for real right now?
04:07I'm dead ass. That's what the kids say.
04:10Well, okay then. But I think you should strategize, you know?
04:14Don't just run and gun, okay? You gotta see what you're lined up against.
04:18Fourth quarter, you're down by six, but there's a lot of game left.
04:21I got a job interview.
04:21That's a touchdown.
04:22Small junior college in Oklahoma, 80 miles away. That's what, 50 minutes by pickup truck?
04:27Easy. Wait, what's the name of this college?
04:29Ha-Hell.
04:31Ha-Hell.
04:32He-Hell.
04:33He-Hell.
04:34Hedleston, home to the world-famous Hedlestown, Candy Button Factory, and Candy Button Factory
04:39gift shop and museum. Open every day, except Christmas and Tuesday. Paid for by the Hedleston
04:44Tourism Bureau.
04:44There's an awful lot of cheerleading on here.
04:48Isn't that what the job is?
04:50No, it's a timing teacher, who does also happen to be a cheerleading coach. I don't see words
04:55per minute on here. Candy Button?
04:57No, thank you.
04:58You sure?
04:58I'm gonna level with you, President Nitwit. I need to win a championship this year. I
05:03can, I will, I must. And when we do, I can bring in enough money to get you a truckload
05:07of those candy buttons.
05:09I'm officially a member of the faculty at, yeah, how don't, whatever the name of this
05:19place is.
05:20Woo!
05:21Now, in order to qualify for the nationals at Daytona, I've got to get a team to cheer
05:26camp almost six weeks from today. Okay? The day before that is something called a show
05:32off, where you show off your routine. Oh, that's my birthday right there. I don't really
05:37care much about it. You know what, though, I will, I will draw a little party hat and a
05:43little cake, just so we don't forget. Oh, shoot. I'm drawing that cat I know how to do.
05:48Are we supposed to be typing that, or?
05:55What I really need to do now is put together a new team. I'm starting at the top of the pyramid.
06:00Crystal. God, she's my star flyer. I mean, I discovered her. I turned her into a cheer
06:06leopardy. Let's just say, she owes me.
06:13What are you doing?
06:14Okay, we've got to keep this on the down low. Remember how you said if I left, you would
06:19also leave?
06:20Yes. Even though this is my third and final senior year at a two-year college, making it
06:24the most important year of my life, I will follow you anywhere.
06:27Okay. I'm starting a new program at a tiny school with an unpronounceable name, and I
06:31want to build that program around you. Okay? You're my star flyer, Crystal. What do you say?
06:36I say no. But thank you.
06:40I'll get them.
06:41Um, can you just give me some privacy, just for a minute? I'm sorry. Thank you.
06:54Mother in the ass . You're okay.
06:58Rat .
06:59Me language. Dale Earnhardt. Ew. All right. You're calming down.
07:04You're calming down.
07:05You're on my level. You're not the baddest.
07:07Oh .
07:09We're going, Patty.
07:11It's actually fine about Crystal. At my wife's try-am at Sammy Davis Senior Junior College,
07:20I had 75 people show up. I only need to take 10. Ooh, it's going to be a big day.
07:25Do y'all smell that? Hey, hun. It's me. Oh, Courtney, you're alive. I feared the worst.
07:38I'm fine. I'm fine. But how's the team doing? Terrible. Like me, we're all puddles.
07:43Oh, my God. I got a brain freeze. I was just wondering if you had any extra cheerleaders?
07:49They locked me out of the system. Oh. Oh, no. I'm not near my computer right now.
07:55Coach Istoney. The picture's up on the Jumbotron.
08:03Day one was a little slower than I had hoped, but I did find that mystery smell.
08:08So, I'm going to count today as a win. Can I help you?
08:13Yeah. I'm the heatless and cheer squad. Just you?
08:16Mm-hmm. All right. Okay.
08:18Okay. Well, let's see what you can do. Okay.
08:22Hey! Hey! Are you ready to play?
08:25Say go, team!
08:27Okay.
08:28Well, when I say heddle, you say what? He don't what? I don't what?
08:31Oh, I'm going to stop you right there, honey. It is so good. I love your energy.
08:34Thank you. A lot of vitality, and I love that.
08:36But I'm looking for tumblers and stumblers. Like real gymnast-type stuff. So.
08:42Hold my pom-poms. Cue music, please.
08:47Being good, I'm a bad dude. I'm sick of motherf***** trying to tell me how to live.
08:52Rap, rap, hate under my pictures on the gram.
08:54You better hope I never burn across a man, uh, in the mall with a-
08:58Sweetheart, you are a force of nature. Have you ever competed before?
09:02No. For some reason, no one ever gave me the- the- uh...
09:07Oh, yeah. Um, I have narcolepsy.
09:10Are you dead or sleeping?
09:12You lay him out! You hear me?
09:14Hey, baby. How was first day of trials?
09:17Got a narcoleptic tumbler and a dead mama possum. They both made the team.
09:21Oh, come here. Come here. Don't haunt me. Don't haunt me.
09:24I'm fine. I'm great.
09:25You know, I'd be more worried if I didn't just have the worst two days of my career.
09:28Yeah?
09:29Which means big things are gonna happen.
09:30Throw it. Throw it.
09:32What in the hell is he doing?
09:36DeMarcus-
09:38DeMarcus leads our team in rushing yards, as well as unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
09:43Yeah! It's me!
09:46You know, he's- he's just-
09:50He's an . He's a straight up .
09:52You got ten other men out on the field. You cannot do everything by yourself.
09:56I just did.
09:57Not on my team, young man.
09:58Fine. Then I quit.
10:00All right. DeMarcus, let's not do this again.
10:03Come on. No. Stay in those pads.
10:05One of these days, DeMarcus, I ain't gonna take you back.
10:07Don't five him. Nobody fives him.
10:09No. No, mama. Mama, don't do it.
10:12I know.
10:13But it looks like you're doing it anyway.
10:15I'm not. DeMarcus!
10:17He's just gonna break your heart.
10:18I know.
10:19Tell you what. Never do get tired of watching her run away from me.
10:23Hmm.
10:24DeMarcus, you dropped something.
10:26I don't need it. I said I quit.
10:29Good.
10:32Cause I want you to cheer for me at my new school.
10:34Nah.
10:35See, DeMarcus doesn't cheer for other people.
10:37Seems like DeMarcus don't play football either.
10:39I'm giving you the opportunity to dance, flip, toss girls in the air,
10:43and get all the attention you want without pissing people off.
10:46Sounds to me like it'd be perfect for you.
10:48You don't know me. Damn! That's my dream.
10:51What do I have to do?
10:53You can't quit.
10:54And remember there's no I in cheer.
10:57But there is a he.
10:59Ahem.
11:00I'm still right here, doll.
11:02I currently have six cheerleaders.
11:07DeMarcus, Madonna, and four that I found on TikTok.
11:11Smack it up, slip it up.
11:13Who were kicked off their team for being inappropriate.
11:15Rub it down to the ground.
11:17I'm just gonna get him some full coverage underwear.
11:19They'll be fine.
11:20But what I really need is a veteran.
11:22And Steven was one of my best faces back in the day.
11:26He left school his fourth sophomore year, I think.
11:30But since there's no age limit at junior college,
11:32I'm gonna see what he's up to.
11:34Steven Vaughn, please come to the front.
11:36Hey.
11:38Coach.
11:40Steven?
11:41You got to be a grown man.
11:44Yeah.
11:45I mean, it's...
11:46Oh, my goodness.
11:47It's been 16 years.
11:48Gosh, yeah.
11:49And I'm on track for management.
11:50Oh, good.
11:51Yeah.
11:52I really love it here.
11:53Oh.
11:54Because I'm putting together a team.
11:56That's why I came by.
11:57And since you never technically graduated...
11:59I'll do it.
12:00Hey, everyone.
12:01I quit.
12:02Let's do this.
12:04Woo!
12:05There he goes.
12:06All right!
12:07Still got it.
12:09Okay.
12:10Still going.
12:11Cheer was the best part of my life.
12:12Courtney straightened me out.
12:13She gave me the confidence that I could be something.
12:15And...
12:16Unfortunately, I took that confidence and I quit cheer to pursue a career in car rentals,
12:20which ended up being the worst mistake I ever made.
12:23Well, that and getting a meth head pregnant.
12:25Yeah.
12:26I have less than two weeks to find three cheerleaders and teach them a new routine,
12:30and I got typing papers to grade.
12:32Jesus, be a light unto my feet and a lamp unto my path.
12:35Hey!
12:36Get up out of there!
12:37Shoot!
12:38Oh, my God.
12:39Come back!
12:40I can't run in these jeans!
12:41Cheer for me!
12:42What?
12:43I want you on my college cheer team.
12:44You are the best natural athlete I've ever seen.
12:47Come and cheer for me.
12:49And what if I don't want to?
12:50I can show this video to the cops, get you a different kind of future.
12:56What's your name, young lady?
12:57Peaches.
12:58That's so sweet.
12:59I got the nickname when I bashed this girl in the head with a can of cling peaches,
13:00and it stuck.
13:01The peaches and the name.
13:02Let's get started.
13:03We've got a lot to do today.
13:04Has anybody seen my iPad?
13:05I left it right over here.
13:06Nobody?
13:07Hi.
13:08Hi.
13:09Hi.
13:10Hi.
13:11Hi.
13:12Hi.
13:13Hi.
13:14Hi.
13:15Hi.
13:16Hi.
13:17Hi.
13:18Hi.
13:19Hi.
13:20Hi.
13:21Hi.
13:22Hi.
13:23Hi.
13:24Hi.
13:25Hi.
13:26Hi.
13:27Hi.
13:28Hi.
13:29Hi.
13:30Hi.
13:31Hi.
13:32I'm here for cheer tryouts.
13:33This is from five weeks ago.
13:35Oh, gosh.
13:36Sorry.
13:38Things have been kind of crazy.
13:40Between classes, and my job.
13:42Plus, I've just turned eighteen, so my foster friends kicked me out.
13:45Which was fine, because they were just starting to love me.
13:47Honey, are you okay?
13:49Yeah.
13:50Why?
13:51To be clear, Sally is not a great cheerleader,
13:55cheerleader, but there is no way that she is not making this team. Not without life.
14:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby. Whoa.
14:06I'm probably going to end up adopting her.
14:09And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. DeMarcus, focus. Five, six, seven, eight.
14:18Peaches, try to smile, babe. Five, six, seven, eight. Sally, you're okay, honey.
14:23Are they perfect? No. Are they good? I wouldn't say so, but I think they have what it takes.
14:30They have to be able to trust you out there. And I'm talking, how long have you had these?
14:35Just like 30 minutes. Sally, are you okay? DeMarcus, she is not a football. If she was,
14:43he wouldn't throw her. Okay, sleeping beauty, what's up? What do you want to do?
14:46Oh, bring it on, cupcake. I can go all night. Hey, cut it out. Y'all need to work as a team.
14:50We don't have time to be dealing with this kind of nonsense. Am I frustrated?
14:54Yeah, you know, a teeny bit. Repeat it back to me.
14:56We don't have time for this, and you need to work, you need to work as a team.
15:00Let me handle this. We need to work as a team.
15:02Yeah, there's a team. Did you hear me say not another word, Stephen?
15:05It feels like what used to be the easy part is now the hard part, and the hard part hadn't even happened yet.
15:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:12Ow!
15:12Oh, my God.
15:14Y'all suck.
15:15Hey, hey, hey. Knock it off. Knock it off.
15:19Y'all can't even throw a simple pyramid. How are you going to compete at Daytona? Huh?
15:23Where are you going, DeMarcus? Oh, are you going to quit like you quit everything?
15:28I'm just getting my shoe.
15:29Practice is over.
15:39Please get out of my way.
15:41Coach, where are you going?
15:42Going wherever people go in this town on their birthday.
15:45That candy button factory open every day, except Christmas and Tuesday.
15:49Who wants to tell her it's Tuesday?
15:50Baby, you're not in your birthday suit, would you? Oh, f**k.
16:00Sorry.
16:01That was a freebie.
16:02I had the worst day.
16:04Oh, baby.
16:05Honey, I blew up at my team.
16:08Can I give you the awe now?
16:10Yeah.
16:10Oh.
16:11That's too much.
16:13Oh.
16:14That's better.
16:16Look, look how good my old team was.
16:18Mm-hmm.
16:18They didn't start out like this, though.
16:21Remember that one kid who ate batteries for money?
16:24Used to call him a busted can of biscuits.
16:26What was his name?
16:27Steven.
16:29He's my base now.
16:31All right.
16:33I do remember that first team, though.
16:34Lord, I had no idea what I was doing.
16:36You get mad at them when they didn't make it to Daytona?
16:38Heck no.
16:39I was trying to make sure nobody died.
16:42Two years later, you won your first championship.
16:45Do what you did then.
16:46Well, I can't.
16:48I know too much now.
16:50You can't forget what you already know.
16:53I did.
16:54Oh!
16:55You sure did.
16:57What you got to do is you got to be that feisty girl that thinks outside the box.
17:01And I know you can do it.
17:04Thank you, Coach.
17:05You're welcome, Coach.
17:08I see you looking at my zip patch.
17:09Mm.
17:11I'm still feisty, by the way.
17:12Time to go, fellas.
17:13Oh!
17:14Come on now.
17:14That's your cue.
17:15Don't let the door kiss you, because I'm going to go kiss her.
17:17I am so sorry for the way that I acted yesterday.
17:22It is my job to get you out of Daytona.
17:24Yeah?
17:25And I'm going to do everything in my power to make that happen.
17:28Yeah, you will?
17:29When I say hi-do, you say what?
17:31Hi-do what?
17:32Hi-do what?
17:33Oh, there she goes.
17:35No, just let her rest.
17:36Let's let her rest.
17:36I don't want to be that person, but, I mean, we're still one short of even qualifying for Daytona.
17:41Oh, gosh, okay, so I would ask my sister, but she passed away.
17:46Oh, okay.
17:49Okay.
17:50Um, it's true, yeah, we are still one away, but we can.
17:54We-
17:54Will.
17:55Will.
17:55We-
17:56Hello?
17:58Crystal, what are you doing here?
18:00I've decided to bring my skills and cheerlevery to Hedeltown to help you all win the national championship at Daytona!
18:07I did tell Crystal that this documentary is about her.
18:12And that's thinking outside the box.
18:20Market to market!
18:21Pop it!
18:22Squeeze it!
18:23No, you guys, I'm serious.
18:25You're both so naturally beautiful.
18:26You just need to wear more makeup.
18:28Crystal being on her team really makes a difference.
18:30It's like we're important, you know?
18:31We're not just like a bunch of losers or criminals and stuff.
18:36Look, am I upset about losing Crystal?
18:41Crystal who?
18:43Yes.
18:44Not you.
18:48Okay, I got six girls who could be flyers right now.
18:52Heck, back in the day, I made nationals.
18:55Maybe if you beg, I'll show you my herky.
18:58Ready?
18:59Okay.
18:59We thought it was only supposed to be a few people.
19:07I put it on my socials.
19:09Are you kidding me right now, Crystal?
19:11Like I don't have enough to be worried about.
19:13Y'all come here to me.
19:14Let's gather.
19:14Come on, hands in.
19:15You heard her.
19:15Thank you, Steven.
19:16Yep.
19:16Y'all remind me of my first teams and why I started coaching in the first place.
19:20I mean, cheer is so much more than just being on a team.
19:24It's being a part of a family.
19:26Happy day after your birthday to you.
19:32Y'all.
19:32Happy day.
19:33And for some of these kids, it's the only family they have.
19:36I never won a championship as a cheerleader myself.
19:40Maybe if I would have had somebody to build me up, I would have, but I wouldn't be the coach
19:44that I am today.
19:46Happy day after your birthday.
19:48We did it.
19:49We did it.
19:49We did do that.
19:50I'm so sorry.
19:51It's okay.

19:53One, two, three.
19:54Yes, girl!
19:56Is that what it is?
19:58Okay.

19:59And now, your button cheer team.
