Winning back-to-back championships is one of the more difficult goals to achieve in sports, in large part because of the added pressure that comes with the quest to repeat. However, one way a team can alleviate this burden is to pretend it doesn’t exist at all — a mindset popularized by University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban. This strategy proved successful for Lambert High School’s competitive cheerleading squad, as it was able to earn its second straight Class AAAAAA title at the Georgia High School Association Cheerleading State Championship on Saturday.
