Does your cheerleader need a confidence boost?

Ever hear the phrase, “confidence is key“? It’s oh so true..confidence is that secret ingredient that will help your cheerleader advance their skills, bust out of that mental block, and truly SHINE both on and off the mat! If you’re sensing some frustration or stuck in a mental block with your athlete, we’ve got the answers for you!

In this blog, I’m personally sharing my top 3 tips to help your cheerleader stay motivated and rock that confidence 24/7!! 

TIP #1: STAY MOTIVATED, HERE’S HOW

The trick to staying motivated is setting goals and having a plan. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the MOTIVATIONAL PLANK HOLD! (PS: this is one of my personal fav’ go-to CHEERFIT tips!)

This is how it works:

1. Write down your top 3 summer goals
2. Hold a plank (30-60 seconds)
3. While in the plank, repeat your goals out loud and visualize each new skill in your head (yes all while in a plank)

Parents, this is a great one for you to do with your athletes and lead by example : )

TIP #2: MOUNTAIN CLIMBER CHALLENGE BUSTER

Yes, say that 10 times fast : ) Ok, so this now is what you want to do right after the motivational plank challenge. First, we want to set goals, then we want to BUST THROUGH any negative thoughts so our goals can happen!

Here is how:

1. Mountain Climber time (30-60 seconds)
2. While climbing those mountains you want to bust through any negative thoughts that creep in
3. Tell yourself, “I’ve got this!” “There is nothing that can hold me back!” “I am CHEERFIT STRONG!!“

Parents again, time to show your cheerleader that negative thoughts mean NOTHING. We’d recommend doing this with them!

TIP #3: BE CHEERFIT STRONG

Ok, so this is the ULTIMATE TIP! Listen up..I
