Heart of Gold
Ropers Sports News May Edition
By Amy Witt
Bismarck, North Dakota, Berger Family’s PBR Touring Pro
Event, I remember walking into an autograph signing and thinking “Oh, my
gosh what am I suppose to do?” I look across the room and my eyes meet a
bubbly, beautiful, blonde, wearing a smile from ear to ear…instantly I
knew we would be friends. We knew of each other but we knew nothing about one
another. As I skipped across the room, I greeted her – “Hey, you want to grab a
Starbucks?”
"I love bulls! I
would have to say my favorite is, of course, K55 Smackdown because he is our
number one bull. I love how he's unique looking and is rideable, but when
ridden you're looking at big scores. He also finished top 3 in the world and
was a contender for a world title which is pretty special to all of us. My
family has been raising bulls since the 1960's so I have had quite a few
favorites since I was a little kid, but I would have to say my all time
favorite was a bull that came from Terry Williams his name was Rockin' Robin and
he was the coolest little bull we ever had at our place. I could go up to him
and give him a huge kiss and just pet him and that was always something I found
to be pretty awesome."
With
bucking bulls running through her veins, a jam packed closet, an ultimate fox,
guitar playing fool, and a fashionista with a heart of gold, Sadie
Berger, 21, from Mandan, North Dakota has become one of the greatest people I
have ever met. Being inspired by her belief in God, her Grandmothers, and
her mother, Sadie has dreams that will not be stopped. In May of 2014,
Sadie will be graduating from Dickinson
State University
with business administration diploma. Working towards her personal trainer certificate,
she also plans to open her own gym while producing her own bull riding events
and establishing a bucking bull breeding program which naturally goes along
with owning her own bulls.
Tell me about being the daughter of Chad Berger?
"Being the daughter of a PBR stock contractor has been one of the biggest
blessings in my life- Not because my dad is recognized for having good stock,
but because of all the people I have met, places I have been, and lessons I
have learned. The PBR and the bull riding in general are something I feel I am
very lucky to be apart of. The people I consider my best friends and family I
have met through the PBR and will now be people I call family forever. I really
have enjoyed seeing the country with amazing people. One thing I think is neat
is that I've been to cities all over the country, but have always been
around at least 40+ people I know and am familiar with - that is
something I really appreciate. It's really funny to me that people want my
dad's autograph because to me he's just my dad, the guy who never let me quit
anything, taught me many of my life lessons, and the guy I turn to when I need
something. My dad's a great guy and has given me a life I am so thankful for
and I love that he followed in my grandfather's footsteps and got himself into
the bull industry, I just hope I can do as well as he has."
Sadie's
number one must haves are her Ray-Bans, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue perfume,
mascara, liquid eyeliner, and a beaded headband. Of course she can't live
without her iPhone, mascara, "It's a 10" leave in conditioner, and
hair straightener for her luscious blonde locks.
As for fashion, this blondie has the coolest, sweetest sense
of style. She loves anything from Chanel to Forever 21 and is a sucker for long
cross necklaces, feather earrings, and fringe boots. Sadie loves to rock the
PBR events wearing either jeans and heels or leggings and boots.
Sadie is one of the most down
to earth, genuine girls you could ever meet. When she walks into a room you can
guarantee she will brighten it!
“Life is good, positive vibes,
and faith in the Lord…is how I choose to see life.”
