Xray or MRI?
This is one of the most common questions I get from athletes and parents. There is some confusion about imaging...the process, the need for it, which one is right, and what to do with the information. While some cheerleaders need imaging, many do not and in this episode we dive into what imaging is and when we would need it.Www.Thecheerdoc.ComWww.Hitzeronutrition.Com

Ridiculous attempt to justify PEDOPHILIA
In a sick and twisted way, a group of sexual predators is trying to explain their crimes against children by saying it is a natural trait that they were born with; an innate feeling that they have no control over and that should be as widely accepted as LGBTQ. This disgraceful attempt to justify their malicious acts falls at a time when cheer athletes are beginning to come forward and speak out against predators. Our sport has historically been progressive in equality for LGBTQ rights and for this fringe group of criminals to attach their twisted actions to the LGBTQ co...
