A valuable resource
I was glad to find this book, and it has already proven to be quite helpful. I direct a semi-pro cheer team, but since I model it after NFL squads this book was still relevant to my situation. I think anyone who directs a dance or cheer team in an amateur, semi-pro, or pro sports league will find this book to be a handy resource.

It is not for those who need very detailed instruction, or need help building a team step-by-step. The book provides ideas and guidance though.

Easy Read, Relevant to its Industry
Great book for those interested in Professional Dance or Cheerleading.Provides relevant info about the industry and what it takes to be successful from a business standpoint.Not recommended for the Dancer though, but for the Coach or Director. ... Read more

IntroductionFollowing a bizarre tragedy that defies logic, and a second chance at life, this woman who was barely noticed in a family of nine, chooses to prove her worth emotionally, mentally and physically through her accomplishments in coaching cheerleaders, and then succeeds in completing an inspiring novel of triumph. After weeks of hospitalization and a year of therapy, she was able to walk again, but left with a facial paralysis that becomes her prevailing crutch. I am that woman, and although I cannot smile completely, my eyes do, or that is what they tell me.After years of being encouraged so many times by professional people such as doctors and therapist, to write a story about a bizarre accident that I was involved in, I decided that the only way I could take on such a project would be to surround it with something that was so positive in my life that it may have been one of the most key effects that fostered me through the healing process of multiple injuries. My family and coaching cheerleaders gave me purpose to repair and accept my injured body. With over thirty years and two generations of coaching for youth and high school cheerleaders, I reminisce with countless tales of the triumphs and struggles of cheerleaders competing at both the national and international levels. This memoir, with all of its guts and glory about cheerleading, also tells the personal tales about a family of strong and determined women. Included are memories of my mother and her drive to raise a family of seven until her heartbreaking final days after losing a three-year battle with cancer. ... Read more
