Episode of April 14, 2026
In this episode, Stephany De Rosa gives us a glimpse into Team Canada 2026 … and sets the record straight. Making the national team isn't a one-off or a quick dream to tick off: it's a multi-year project. Between training camps, high expectations, and constant adaptation, everything is designed to build a strong team, not just perform for one season.
👉 If you want to be there, you have to see it as a medium-term commitment.
🧠The real game changer: mindset
Skills are the foundation. But what truly makes the difference is your ability to perform under pressure. Wearing the Team Canada uniform means managing the gaze of an entire nation… and persevering even when things aren't perfect.
One concept stands out strongly: the “perception of perfection.” In cheerleading, it’s not about everything being perfect, it’s about it looking perfect. The best athletes are those who persevere without faltering, even when something goes wrong.
🎯 Selection and NTTP: nothing is left to chance
The selection process goes far beyond a good video. Coaches assess consistency, attitude, the ability to work as part of a team, and how to perform under pressure. This is where many lose their place.
And that's where the NTTP (National Team Training Program) comes in: a development program for high-potential athletes. It's not a "B" team; it's a strategic stepping stone to Team Canada. Some go through it... and become key players the following year.
🔥 A team, a strategy, not just talent
Every detail counts. The number of athletes, the structure of the stunts, the uniformity… everything is calculated. You don't build a routine to impress, you build it to perform at the right moment.
After a difficult season, the team made major adjustments. More structure, more work between training camps, more accountability. The result: a stronger, more self-aware, more prepared team.
🚀 The real objective of Team Canada 2026
No unrealistic promises.
The goal is simple: 👉 to execute the best possible routine, with consistency and confidence
Because in the end, a team that believes in itself and that hits... often beats a team that looks perfect on paper.
đź’Ą What you need to remember
It's about being consistent. It's about being mentally strong. It's about being able to work as part of a team, even in uncomfortable situations.
👉 And above all, it's about accepting that it takes time.
If you're ready for that... then you're starting to be in the right mindset.
