In my experience, overt bullying isn't so much the issue as some teams/gyms being very cliquy. It can be hard to break into a new team where the majority of athletes have been together for a long time. Again, not all gyms or teams though
Yeah, that's something a lot of sports can have, and I touch on it in book 1 and then again with a different sport in book 2. My hope is that with any of the "drama" and "bullying" and "issues" through the series it will be clear that these things happen because of the people themselves, not just the sport. I don't want people to walk away from reading my books thinking that cheer is this or that because of the one person who did one thing here or there. I want people to hopefully see the good in all star cheer, and after the response stating just that from non-cheerleaders who read book 1, I want to keep that going for sure! Basically anything I can do to help people see what they are missing if they don't love all star cheer will be done! haha
