'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team' star Chandi Dayle has been a successful cheerleader and dancer

Chandi was born on October 2 and holds a degree in Sports and Society. So it should come as no surprise that she mentions her favorite Dallas Cowboys player, Tony Pollard.

Later, she enrolled in Salpointe Catholic High School, Pomline. Chandi was the captain of the University of Arizona Pomline.

'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team' star Chandi Dayle was drawn to join DCC by her teammates

Chandi witnessed two of her teammates and one former Pommie from Arizona Pomline fulfill their aspirations of becoming DCCs. She's also been following the DCC since her freshman year of college.

When her college coach started talking to Chandi about the DCC, she began to investigate them and fell in love. Not only does Chandi enjoy the idea that the DCC can dance and cheer for the finest team in the NFL, but she also appreciates how active they are in their community.

This pulled her in even further.

Being able to motivate others is the finest part of being a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Whether it's encouraging someone to participate in their community more, applying to your ideal team, or just being who you truly are.

Chandi thinks that the nicest aspect of being a DCC is knowing that you are someone's role model and that they look up to you because you have the power to positively impact someone's life, and they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
