Why shouldn’t those 18 and over age out of the activity? There comes a time where you have to put your adult clothes on and move on.

1) Find a strength and conditioning coach. In most cases, you can start with your school's football coach. The football team may have a dedicated S & C coach. If they offer such things as a class, try to get into the class. 2) You want someone who understands that as a female athlete, it's ok...

One reason they can't get it under control is because people in this particular activity prioritize winning over everything else...up until "everything else" becomes something so perverse and devastating that it's, quite literally, criminal. A coach's primary role in an athlete's life should...

Depends on the make up of the team. Your description of your height and weight falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean for girls your age. Where do you fit best? I have two girls on my team who are about the same size as you, and they squat 1 1/2 times their body weight, and do hanging...

In the interest of being factual, that decision was made with the the support of the KHSAA Board of Control and voted on on TUESDAY, not Monday. The official announcement was released either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday. It doesn't change the verbiage used. I just can't justify going through...

My whole career has been royal blue as a primary color. Trim colors of white, gray, and red depending on the situation. Edited to add: I did spend some time in blue and gold as a middle school basketball player, hunter green in travel baseball, and any number of colors as a competitive adult...

As of Monday, the commissioner of the KHSAA has said that until further notice the KHSAA will not sanction any team traveling more than one county outside the borders of KY, nor will the sanction any even requiring NFHS sanctioning. While I do not remember the exact number of teams from the...

Athlete: Never had a bad one Coach: The year before I discovered proactive coaching, llc

We have 45 athletes and 3 coaches plus an administrative assistant.

Aren’t you the same person who started the thread about people peeing on each other while stunting? Is this the same coach? If so, why are you still dealing with this program? it seems you have consciously made a decision to stick with a program being coached by someone you have already...

yes, concussion on concussion syndrome is a bad thing. catastrophic injury such as a c-spine injury with spinal cord involvement, is more about twisting forces and angle of impact. I actually recently treated a patient who dissected a carotid artery just from popping her neck.

I said true catastrophic injury. concussion is not catastrophic.

It’s not a scientific study: It’s 15 years of experience at the bedside with every emergency, critical care, and trauma national board certification known to man. I coach cheerleading by day and wield my super powers as an emergency department nurse in a regional trauma center by night. It’s my...

If you really believe that a spring floor or matted surface is significantly safer than a grass surface for preventing catastrophic injuries in building, you have zero understanding of the kinematics of trauma.

The one big piece of this discussion that seems to be missing is that NOTHING the government (or any related, regulatory agency) extends its hand into becomes more efficient or inexpensive.

One team in our division dropped 2 stunts in prelims to our 0. Scored a 12.0 on stunt perfection to our 12.5. Scores all over the place.

I’m feeling your pain right now. my kids performed their asses off and did not get props they deserved in those performance categories. Comments on their score sheet about “shaky stunts” that weren’t even sort of unsteady. I just can’t even wrap my head around some of it.

Congratulations!

I’m not sure how Cheer updates does it down here from any of the big competitions. I couldn’t even get our group messaging app to send a message to my team about a schedule change yesterday. I had zero cell service or internet connectivity all day long. That was just one of many frustrations on...

Gameday is just fun for the kids. I like how it takes the stress off them and puts it on me as a choreographer. If you want to be successful, make sure it’s easy, clean, and creatively crowd-leading. Since we started doing it, I’ve basically let my kids do a lot of the choreo with my guidance...
