Fill the Ferrell April 5th For the Big Meet Baylor Vs. Oregon A&T

 Emily Bott

3/30/25 

Hey, welcome back to tumbling with Emily. This week is a little different for  me. It was the same in that  we had a home meet, it was different because I had an injury that almost took me out. My MRI shows signs of stress so they put me in a boot and modified my lower body weight training. I’m happy to report it helped me to be able to get through the weekend and the home meet. I scored well and my team won !! It was a great meet against Saint Leo from Florida . The team was great as well as the athletes . We had a late practice today. We did a lot of talking to prepare us for this upcoming week and all the changes that are already made within the team. This is our last Home meet coming up next week against Oregon. They are  ranked number two and we are ranked number one. It’s always a fun time going against one of your biggest competitors. If anybody's around on Saturday, we’re trying to fill the ferrell center,  so I would love anybody who reads my blog to come at 5 o'clock to support me and my team and it’s a special day because it’s only two dollar tickets. All of the changes our coaches are making now are leading us up to nationals which is next month in Sioux Falls and it’s a four day event whenever we come to the end of the season it gets very stressful and our practices are long and hard. We do less weight training at this time of year, which gives us more time for actual practice. I’m excited to come back next week and let everybody know how we did against the number two ranked Oregon. I’m also excited because my family is coming in on Friday to watch my last home meet. My grandpa hasn’t been back to Baylor since I was recruited so he’s excited to see my apartment and I’m hoping I get to take him to see the Bears. Stay tuned for next week. It’s gonna start getting juicy with nationals  just around the corner.

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...
