This is actually the direction I'm planning on taking right now. I can have a job in sports medicine but also be involved in cheer, best of both worlds as you said I'm a junior in high school right now so all of this college stuff is quickly approachingwell I went a very different approach then most in regards to picking a major to stay involved in cheer. I am majoring in athletic training. I love cheerleading, but I also love the medical field. So the best of both worlds for me was picking something involved in sports medicine. I am very passionate about what I do, and was actually in contact with Debbie Love about athletic trainers on staff in cheer gyms. This has actually gotten alot of gym owners attention, and I've been offered a few jobs already, and I'm only a junior in college. like everyone said, networking is your best friend.
just something to think about

Will do, thank youthat's great to hear! I wish more cheerleaders would go this route. I feel like a few years down the line we're going to see alot more gyms implement having an AT on staff.
If you need any guidance for schools or even have questions about sru, feel free to ask!
I'm just getting into coaching now. I used to cheer in HS for a very competitive team. Since I've gone to college and law school. To start, I want to learn about coaching by shadowing for a while and then specialize in a specific skill like tumbling, stunting, or choreography (maybe more than 1). Then, move on to coaching my own team when I have more spare time.So I'm in high school, and the college search has begun. At the moment I'm really at a loss from what I want to major in/pursue as my career. My dedication and passion for cheer really has me going back to careers in the cheerleading industry. I'm open to anyone involved; coaches, gym owners, uniform companies, varsity employees, cheer magazine employees, etc. How much do you make? Do you have a job on the side? What did you major in in college? I know this is very broad but I'm open to anything. Thank you!
You can make a living off of cheerleading, IMO you have to do multiple jobs to sustain a living. I make more than enough money but the work I put in is more than 40+ hours a week.
I work full time for GK Elite Sportswear
I own my own Skills and Choreography Campany, Spirit FX
I coach at an Allstar Gym
I am a Production Manager for an IEP
I judge for numerous companies
I consult at various different smaller organizations
what did you major in? I eventually want to be a sales rep for varsity or GK but I was also thinking about athletic training, I just know I want to stay involved in cheerleading!
