I can't comment on the chewing gum because I do it when I work out. I feel it controls my breathing better. I wonder if that's why athletes do it sometimes.

I chew gum when I work out too. But as a coach I wouldn't allow it. It seems like a choking hazard with all the things cheerleaders do in their routines. Plus imagine it falling out of someone's mouth onto the mat, someone tumbling into it, or it falling into someone's ponytail?! Eek! Seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Did we ever have a discussion about where the ad money goes and what have you? Because if so, that kid just lost the ability to cheer in college competitively.

Not like half these kids will even GO to college but..ya know. Food for thought.

You only actually make good money from YouTube videos/channels if you watch the ads before the video starts. Which most people don't when they have the option to skip. The money goes to whoever owns the channel. You don't make money on the actual views or just by the number of people you subscribe to the channel. That's why most youtubers do tours, write books, and do other things besides just making videos. Miranda sings, Connor franta, Tyler Oakley, lilly singh (iisuperwomanii), Jenna marbles etc all do other things besides just making the videos to make their money.

I'm pretty sure he meant the product placement/brand deal with the lenses, not the youtube ads.

Are college cheerleaders not allowed to cheer competitively if they take endorsements?

There's SOMETHING about amateur status (hence why most US gymnasts can't compete in college- if they took any promo deals during their time competing, they're unable to retain amateur status. Nastia, Shawn, I think even Jordyn couldn't).

NCAA.org had this:
NO-

• Contracts with professional teams
• Salary for participating in athletics
• Prize money above actual and necessary expenses
• Play with professionals
• Tryouts, practice or competition with a professional team
• Benefits from an agent or prospective agent
• Agreement to be represented by an agent
• Delayed initial full-time collegiate enrollment to participate in organized sports competition

Now, this only applies if you're competing, and cheer competition varies by college. The NCAA as of now doesn't have a set competition, but yea. A&T would definitely be at risk. Anything else could be as well if they decided to crack down.

I'm so sick of the scripted conversations.. Like it feels so forced, and everyone can tell, ATV!

Getsum, can you pass this along?


**But I saw it on the Internet, it must be true**

Guess I am in the minority. To me this one looked real. That one guy was fighting back tears. He seemed sad, upset for his teammate.

I saw Francis at the Spring Tumbling Conference yesterday. I guess he decided to come back to Canada, or he might still be at the gym there and decided to visit, I don't know. I heard this back injury is nothing new.

I would have loved for the other quebecois boys to speak french when they had their meeting. Expressing emotions in another tongue can be quite difficult.

 

[FaithOverFear!]

To clarify, I didn't think Francis being upset or sad was scripted- it seemed very real. But when they were sitting around and Jonah was like "So how do you feel about being cut?" (paraphrasing) and it just sounded kinda forced.

i wonder if there is any language barrier with all these out of country boys and if it ever makes coaching difficult?

There shouldn't be too too much of a language barrier seeing as Ontario is an hour and a half away from Montreal and unless they never leave QC ever there is very little chance that they never come in contact with English speaking Canadians lol

I didn't have a problem understanding the coaches at this weekend conference. But it was way easier when they would mimic or just show what they wanted while explaining it. It's the same when you coach in the same langage. When you add the visual aspect, it's easier for everyone to understand.

And I have to agree with Alicia. Anyway, we learn English in school from grade 1 to secondary 5, and even Cegep for those going. So you learn English from age 6 to 17-18-19 years old. If you can't do anything with that... someone slept all the way though school.

I will, forever, be jealous of other countries who force secondary language from a young age. The US, imo, has it so backwards to only require 2 years in HS (I'm sure that varies by state, but it's all my state requires).
