In the series, Morgan referred to the Navarro cheer team as her family, but she says her first meeting with coach Monica Aldama was more intimidating than anything else. "I was very intimidated. I was so scared because I knew who she was and she had no idea who I was," Morgan said. "After I got to know her a little bit more and practicing with the team, our relationship started from there. I think we're basically inseparable now . . . She's my mentor and I look up to her a lot. I know she's my coach, but she's also one of my best friends. I can talk to her about anything and I just really look up to her as a person."
