We're gearing up for tomorrow night's CLASH ON THE CUMBERLAND as the Pittsburgh Steelers come to LP Field. The Titans cheerleaders are key to keeping the crowd and players pumped, but as FOX17 NEWS Reporter Erin Como shows us, the ladies also have challenging lives off the field. The life of a Titan's cheerleader may seem glamorous, but they all have jam-packed schedules, and cheer leading is only considered a part-time gig, despite all the hard work. Take a look at an average day for their captain, Stephanie.

"I typically get up between 4:30-5am," says Stephanie. "I like to get a good workout in. Then, it's time to wrestle my 3 year old and get her ready for school and get out the door on time. Then, after I drop her off, I do a full day at work."

Stephanie showed us around her day job as a communications specialist at the Cracker Barrel headquarters in Lebanon.

"It's a great job, and I love it," says Stephanie. "Every day is different and equally as challenging."

Also challenging: managing her time. Some nights after work, she has cheer leading practice until 10pm, and on weekend game days she arrives at the field by 8am.

"We go in for hair and makeup," says Stephanie. "We have pregame and then we are there until the game ends."

This is Stephanie's 5th season cheering and her 2nd as Captain. This wife, mother and working professional is dedicated to the Titans and the Nashville community.

"I feel so blessed and so fortunate to be able to do all of this," says Stephanie.

She says she relies on organization and a good support system to make the intense schedule work. You can see more in our pregame special CLASH ON THE CUMBERLAND, ONLY ON FOX this Thursday night.
