They all started "somewhere".
That "somewhere" being cheerleader for a professional sports franchise.

Have you got what it takes? Really, that’s just $25 and a bit of training. BYT's Spectacular Libby has been training for months. (because while BYT cannot pay you-BYT can certainly embarrass you enough if you agree to work here.-ed)

I think it was Clint Eastwood in Million Dollar Baby who said this about how to make a Wizards Girl:

To make a Wizards Girl you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones...
make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy...
how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab...
how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you.
Then you gotta show 'em all over again.
Over and over and over... till they think they're born that way.
