I remember a cheer video with a bunch of stunts, tumbles and general industry related stuff, but it had a really nice voiceover which came in four parts, one of which said something like this: "Before we can teach them to fly Before we can teach them to tumble We must first teach them respect...

YES

Having my fetus voiceover in this is the highlight of my life.

National Champions You know we're gonna fumble Forget the ring- give us the prize For the slowest tumble

So what if we bust tumbles? We don't really care We skipped a couple practices To work on big, big hair

Unfortunately, your block is different from everyone else's- totally normal, but different. And thus, there is no clear way that you can get over it. You need to find a method which works for you. Some athletes need pressure, and some need time. From my own blocks, try not to be hard on...

Also I give a list of no-go "common" songs that I'm expecting every team and their moms to have.

Same! I usually give a little direction e.g. "They're 12-13 year olds, as long as you can fit Justin Bieber in there, they'll love it." Music producers know what they're doing, and I think what they imagine for my team is a whole lot better than me trying to make them see what I see for my...

USASF have been limiting in tumbling, if anything else. Top athletes are pushing themselves to do triples and quads and were upset by the resent restrictions in top tumbling passes at allstar level, which limited the creativity and skills which could be expressed in passes. Of course, the top...

Inventive hair styles I think the 'poof and pony' look is so in, to the extent that every girl looks the same. Five years ago I was at a comp with french braids leading to the bow, flat hair but for the pony and bow etc. It makes me sad :( Also traditional co-ed stunts, one boy and one girl...

When I was a back I used to pinch my flyers butt until she'd tense... Effective, though not recommended.

Yes! Dynasty Cheer and Dance Company, purple, gold and black. Every single routine starts with a snazzy v/o about the 'royal family.'I probably wouldn't have a mascot as such, but if one of the teams developed one that's fine. I would love to teach at least one team, and hopefully choreograph...

I disagree, reading certain posts it seems like this rule was the only thinkable option for the sport. I don't know, I just don't really understand why some people are getting so up in arms about what is really a minor change.

Guys, if you think a change in uniform regulations is finally going to win this sport the recognition and respect it deserves, we as a community have a long way to go. All in all, this is a rule which is constricting. Yet another rule which restricts what gym owners, female athletes and coaches...

P.S. The High School Musical theme is highly recommended, I did it with my youths and they loved it. Here is the mix I used:

I hope I never hear HEY ARE Y'ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME? at a competition again...

I'm not a "no themes" person. Usually totally unrelated songs strung together in a mix sound like they're running through the top 40. Not cool. For minis: Hearts/Love theme Fire/heat theme Growing up theme Strong theme High School Musical theme Monsters theme Wizard of Oz or other musical...

HEY ARE Y'ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME? No. Stop using common songs.

People who fix their skirt when everyone else is walking in clean. Nope.

I think you guys covered it pretty well. It was an honor to know Steve and a blessing to work alongside him. From his foundations Scottish cheer and dance will continue to grow. Much love and prayers to Jo, Scotcheer Staff and to Jo's team ACE. GO-FIGHT-WIN
