Come with me during a home meet against Iona

Emily Bott 

3/23/25


Hey guys, I’m back from spring break and two travel meets. We did well. Moving forward  I had a slight hiccup with a little ankle injury, but the show must go on, and that it will. This week I have a meet against Iona. I’m going to be sitting a couple heats out to give my ankle a rest , but I should be back at it by next week.

I’m going to  start the day off right and have a team lunch again. It's one of the most exciting parts of the meets for me because I get to bond with my teammates and we get to go over things that went on during the week, not just what happens in our sport. The friendships I’ve made on the team will carry me through a lifetime. It’s not all just about acro and tumble. We are like sisters and it’s a great support system to have in college, especially being so far away like I am from my family in New York.. Today is also the day that we get to compete in our brand new uniform top. That’s exciting. It’s just a little different than the ones we have. It has some black in it which I love,  most of the team likes it as well. Today’s team we’re going against happens to be from my home state. It's going to be a fun meet. There’s also a baby race at the meat. That’s super cute. We do it every year. After the meet, I plan to go to Shorty‘s for pizza. We wanna make it a regular thing we do after home meets with a couple of the teammates. My family will be coming in a couple weeks. I plan to take them there. My grandpa will love it. Thanks for listening and I’ll keep you caught up with tumbling with Emily next week. Bye for now.

Meet Me & My Sport Acrobatics & Tumbling

  Emily Bott 2/16/25  Hey everyone, my name is Emily Bott and I am officially starting my first blog. I am a sophomore on the Acrobatics and Tumbling team at Baylor University and today I am going to explain to you the new and rising collegiate sport of acrobatics and tumbling and how our meets work. Keep up with me for next week's blog, where I will discuss some traveling tips and how our coaches run our away meets.  We have a total of five home meets, four away meets, plus the national championship that is also away located at Augustana University. A quick little background on the sport Acrobatics and Tumbling, where it is the only sport other than American Football to be created at a collegiate level. Only as far back as the year 2009, my coach, Coach Felecia Mulkey, and a few other college administrators around the country made this sport into what it is today. The Baylor University A&T team has won a total of nine national championships in a row, where last yea...

Come with me to our Home Meet, Baylor Vs. Azusa Pacific

Emily Bott 3/2/2025 Hey everyone! Welcome back to Flippin' with Emily. Following up after the Oregon meet we recently had, our week was pretty busy. In the weeks that we have meets  we’re already prepared for hard practices and extra work. It’s the same if it’s  an away meet or a home meet , the main difference for home  meets is that the entire roster gets to be a part of all that’s  involved .  Our  starting lineup is 24 and the entire team consists of 55. The travel team changes week after week and you’re never guaranteed a spot. That’s why when we travel we don’t check into our flight until sometime six hours before because you never know who will be traveling. So with it being a home meet, it was great to be with everybody. We start the day off with a team lunch. Everybody shows up wearing the exact same T-shirt and black pants and the lunch is at the banc on campus. The banc is amazing. They always prepare us the most delicious pre-meet meal and fuel ...

Pack with me for Baylor vs. Oregon A&T Meet

Emily Bott 2/21/25 Hey everyone! Welcome back to continue Flippin’ with Emily. This week was a big long week, as it was expected to be. Me and my teammates left to fly all the way to Oregon for a big competitive meet against their Acrobatics and Tumbling team. We have always had very exciting and competitive meets against Oregon, but we still won.  On our travel trips the coaches will provide us a list of important clothing and shoes we will need for our meet and for practices. They also supply us with matching Baylor suitcases to use for these trips, which aren’t the most spacious to include many extra belongings other than the important stuff. Other than the clothing, I will make sure I pack prepared for every occasion that may come which are the necessities like toiletries. My toiletries necessities are my toothbrush, toothpaste, hairspray, bar of soap, shampoo, conditioner, vitamin C gummies, hair brush, icy hot, advil, and lotion. Now the next extra thing I pack is my fore...
