Competition brings out a side of athletes that you rarely get to see. Study your athletes in these moments to find where their greatest successes shine and where their greatest weaknesses sneak up.

Getting ready for event1!

Sometimes you just want to play in the “the yard”

Not a bad way to spend a birthday weekend! Very excited for this course and to continue growing as a coach 🙏🏻

Supporting others in their search for greatness is the ultimate high.

We’ve worked together for quite some time and you’ve never backed down from a challenge. Yesterday you overcame likely the biggest challenge you’ll ever have to face and you did it with grace and a smile.

Sierra, you can do anything you set your mind to and when you rang that bell yesterday, you solidified that fact for the world to hear.

From the first bell ring we shared to the most recent…Congratulations little sis!

PRO Tumble ankle magnets have been used to help athletes keep their feet together when tumbling. I'm a fan of exploring new ways to use equipment and believe it or not, you can use these to improve your cheer jump drills as well

Jumps like toe touches, hurdlers, and pikes are a cornerstone of cheerleading. They are utilized by sideline and all-star programs and can display an athletes strength and flexibility all at once.

There are many resources that cover how to get jumps higher and how to improve flexibility, but one of the most common problems with perfecting a jump is the landing. If a jump is high but the landing is sloppy, it completely negates the quality of the jump and is usually what will lead to a lower score for jumps when competing.

Strengthening the adductors or inner thigh muscles will help to clean up the landing in your jumps and these three easy to implement exercises can make a huge difference!

A common place for pain in cheerleading is at the base of the neck, where the neck meets the shoulder. Pain can come when we move our head, raise our arms, or perform athletics activities.

Whipping the head during tumbling, looking up for extended periods of time when basing, and when performing a choreographed dance with quick body motions, can all cause pain in this area.

Using a small ball like a lacrosse ball, baseball, softball, tennis ball....you get the idea...we can work through the tightness and pain causing areas of the neck and upper back. Grab a ball and let's get this pain gone for good!

There are two common mistakes that flyers make when learning basket tosses. In cheerleading, beautiful basket tosses are one of the biggest WOW moments that a team can create for fans. If basket tosses are high, they are eye catching and can really bring up the energy of a routine.

If they are low…well, you know…

Aside from the tricks being done in the air, flyers play a very important role in the height, and safety, of basket tosses. Today we explore two very easy exercises/drills to improve the load in for the basket to ensure that we have the highest and safest baskets possible.

Pain on the side of the knee can be crippling if not managed properly. It can be felt whenever running tumbling or jumping.

Often, a pain in the knee is not caused by the knee but rather issues with the hip. One example is the IT band. The IT band is a structure that runs down the side of the leg from the pelvis to the side of the shin bone. When the Muscles around the hip are not working properly, the IT band can then create tension on the side of the leg that causes pain at the knee.

Some of the stability exercises we would use to teach flyers how to hold body positions can be used to help build strength around the hip and eliminate knee pain. https://youtu.be/Smwt7F3QpfI

History made TODAY!

For the first part of today’s workout, work on handstand push-up strength. If you are able to kick up against a wall and lower down into a handstand push-up, use this method. Ways to scale this exercise are : 1. Place pads or mats under your head to decrease the range of motion of the push-up— 2. If you are unable to perform this, switch to a pike press instead and work sets of 5 to 10 reps.
-
For part B, use a dumbbell, kettle bell, or band for the goblet squats.
-
The final section is to work on ankle health and to prevent ankle sprains. Keep legs straight and don’t let your butt stick out. Keep hips over your ankles.
