I personally am certified AND have FULL insurance covered by my company FieRSe Enterprises LLC. Most people just assume things and GOSSIP on websites like this without actually looking into logistics of the situation. I personally feel that we should be recognized & APPRETIATED that were traveling WORLDWIDE growing our sport AND inspiring kids to get involved with the sport that we all love. I've cheer at a few very successful gyms with different coaching styles at each gym. Why can't you guys just be happy for our success instead of hating? The fact that we have an opportunity to show foreign countries and small gyms how successful gyms run things is an act of GROWING the sport as a whole. It's absolutely ridiculous what this industry has turned to. It's losing the respect as a sport because we treat it like an ENTERTAINMENT industry. Get a grip people! Let's stop this non sense!
No one here is trying to downplay your, or anyone of these kids successes, hard work, abilities, etc. We all acknowledge that what JP said was uncalled for. But again, his argument of credibility and insurance is important. If we argue that coaches should be held to a certain standard and should be expected to have their credentials, then we should hold everyone else who comes in to gyms to teach anything in the same standards whether it's choreographers or cheerlebrities who want to hold clinics.
I do have a couple questions for you, since you seem to be willing to respond to us here: Is there a place online where parents can view what your credentials are? Or anything about how you're insured? Do you know what cheerlebrity camps have kids who have their credentials in order and in what levels? Or do you know how we can go about finding these things out so we aren't simply speculating on this?
Question for anyone who knows: is there a searchable database or something that anyone can use to search and see who in the industry has their credentials and who doesn't?
