“What did I wanna be when I was little?” Davis-Woodhall asked her husband.
“A dolphin trainer. That’s what you wanted to be. I hate that I knew that,” Woodhall replied, to which Davis-Woodhall humorously added, “I don’t like to swim. Who’s pushing me in to make sure these dolphins are being put together?”
Woodhall chuckled, summing it up as a not so wise decision to go into a water related profession. “Yeah, that was not a good life plan," he stated.
While dolphins might have been her early fascination, cheerleading also held a special place in her heart.
When asked about her favorite childhood sport outside of track and field, Davis-Woodhall quickly agreed with Woodhall’s answer stating, “Cheerleading.”
Her love for cheerleading has clearly left a lasting impression with Woodhall recounting that his Olympian wife still exhibit those tendencies.
“We were in the club, like in Vegas celebrating two days ago, and you were doing cheerleading chants to the song,” Woodhall recalled with a laugh.
