I think this was a good piece. I think the rare condition no one knew about that could have happened in any sport so that's a bit drastic. I 100% agree that coaches training is the #1 most important part of getting cheerleading safer.
I am annoyed at watching people say that money is an issue. If money is an issue and a school can't provide safe football helmets then the school doesn't have a football team. It might suck, it might eliminate a few schools from having cheerleading. Oh well, at least the kids that ARE cheering are doing it safely. I'll even go a step further, if you don't have the money to make Cheer a sport at your school then you shouldn't be stunting anyway. Make a dance team, don't stunt, don't tumble and keep your KIDS safe.
I will continue that an online test is a joke, waste of time, waste of money. UNLESS it is HANDS ON TRAINING don't waste your time. I'm so sick of these bandaids that just cover the wound and don't FIX THE PROBLEM!
