I already have coaches swarming my inbox asking for help on how to teach these! ⬇️
If you’re wanting to get a #backhandspringfullup — make sure you can do a #backhandspringup with a straight body line first. Coaches don’t realize that spin isn’t happening when the flyers’ chests are down bc you never fully understood/taught how to invert correctly before trying to add the spin 🤭 #cheer #cheerstunts #cheerleading #highschoolcheer

Replying to @adriene_livingston giving some real talk here for High School Cheer Tryout Advice!
Could not tell you how many times ive judged cheer tryouts and watched athletes NOT make the team because:
1. Disregarded dress code (tells your coach you don’t follow directions)
2. Thrown a new skill (unsafe)
3. Stormed off/cursed because they messed up (poor ambassadorship representing a school/program)
4. Not knew material and only gave excuses about why they didn’t have time to perfect it (when they did in fact have time) 😭
Read your tryout instructions and show up prepared. They’ll never harp down on human mistakes, but some actions define how you would act as an athlete :)

Caution: thirty year old stretching!!!! 👵
Additional PSA: While there may be some joint cracking and uncomfortable noises, I’d like to formally request everyone stop being mean to post-college cheerleaders who are still competing. Flexibility and stunt/tumble ability level doesnt go away magically when you get a corporate job so be nice :) #retiredcheerleader #formerathlete #stretchingroutine #stretching #flexibility #stretchtok
