what they had done in the past. i
wasn’t sure about past experi-
ences, but this year was really ex-
citing with that addition,”
Deskovic said.
in addition to hyping up the
crowd from the sideline at Lincoln
financial field on game day,
Deskovic said she is also very ex-
cited about the philanthropic and
charitable opportunities her new-
found platform will bring.
“they do so many really inspi-
rational appearances and events
that i’m really looking forward to
… i’m really excited to not only be
a part of the games but also be a
part of the community,” Deskovic
said.
On april 30, Deskovic success-
fully completed a month-long au-
dition process before being named
to the squad. She said it was a
highly competitive environment,
but an overall positive one.
“i hope everybody knows how
positive everybody is that’s in-
volved. My experience so far has
been so exciting and really encour-
aging and everybody has been all-
around really positive and i just
hope that’s how everybody sees it
because that’s how i experienced
it,” Deskovic said.
Deskovic joins her close friend
and Philadelphia 76ers dance team
member Gia Grimm, also of Ham-
monton, as the latest local resident
to be employed by a professional
sports organization in Philadel-
phia. although she was confident
in her audition prospects due to her
extensive background as a per-
former, Deskovic said she has yet
to totally accept the reality of her
being named an eagles cheer-
leader.
“i don’t think it has really hit me
yet, to be honest with you. i don’t
think it might even hit me until i
get out on the field for the first
time. that might be when it really
clicks for me and that’s just a re-
ally exciting thing to look forward
to,” Deskovic said.
as Deskovic overcomes the
shock of being named to the ea-
gles’ cheerleading squad and pre-
pares for the 2019 NfL season, she
said she is greatly looking forward
to basking in the team spirit and
the passion of the fans that will be
rooting for the Birds just as hard as
she and the rest of the squad will
be.
“it’s really exciting because i
wouldn’t even have said that this
was a dream of mine because it’s
just never something i thought i’d
be able to achieve. So, now having
it, it feels like a dream. it really
just means that much to me be-
cause i get be out there again, per-
forming and whatever it is, and
just getting out there and seeing all
the fans that i saw at the parade,
just from a whole different light
now. So, it’s going to be a really
exciting experience. i’m really ex-
cited for it,” Deskovic said.
