Cheer.
The world of cheerleading has changed and grown exponentially over the years.
And while the original version is still big, the competition cheer world has taken the sport to another level.
Trust me, having a wife who cheered in college and has coached for years and having two daughters who cheered at multiple levels (one until just last week), I have seen it all up close.
The highs, the lows, the wins, the losses, the injuries...all of it. This sport is not for the faint of heart.
More recently, an even newer version of cheer has been created, and its future looks bright.
Acro Tumbling is an extreme combination of cheer and gymnastics; and it has become a sport at the collegiate level.
This episode’s company is a former cheer and acro tumble athlete, a former college coach, and she is now the Director of Operations for Baylor University’s Acrobatics and Tumbling program...and she is under the age of 30.
Oh. Did I mention that the Baylor A&T team has won the NCATA National Championship 6x straight, including last month?
Yep.
It’s a brave new world of athletics, and she is a piece of the initial wave and bringing awareness to it all.
