2010 Pro Bowl Representatives: The Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders
By Ashley O’Dell, Titans Online
For the 2009-2010 NFL Pro Bowl, each of the 26 NFL teams with cheerleaders will nominate a cheerleader to represent their squad and cheer at the game. This year, the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders have chosen Tonia, a six year veteran and line captain of the Titans Cheerleading Squad. “As unexpected and overwhelming as this has been, I am truly honored to have been nominated. I’m on the squad with an amazing group of women and will do my best to accurately represent the defining women of the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders,” says Tonia.
Tonia’s nomination was determined by a vote from the cheerleading squad and Tennessee Titans Cheerleading staff. The Pro Bowl, between the AFC and NFC’s best, will take place on January 31, 2010 at Dolphin’s Stadium in Miami, Florida, where Tonia can be seen cheering on the AFC players. Prepping for such an event is no small task, as Tonia explains, “I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me planning and practicing but I’ve never been more excited to exercise and practice, it’s like making the squad all over again and hearing your number called for the first time!”
Outside of the cheerleading world, Tonia is a married, mother of two originally from Chicago, Illinois. She has a Masters in Psychology from Georgia State University and is currently a Mental Health Client Specialist in Nashville, Tennessee. Tonia has added cheerleading to her resume over the last 6 years and is very proud to be member of the Titans Cheerleaders. Tonia explains being a part of the organization, stating, “I love football and being a part of the Tennessee Titans organization is a dream come true, I think it’s one with such character and stamina, and I am honored and excited to represent such an organization.” To see what players represent the Tennessee Titans and other teams along with Tonia and other cheerleaders, tune into this year’s Pro Bowl game on January 31st.
