Xray or MRI?
Wednesday Feb 17, 2021
Wednesday Feb 17, 2021
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.Com Www.Hitzeronutrition.Com

Jerry Harris is a Predator
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
A few episodes back, we discussed an ongoing investigation on some high profile people in the cheer world and their alleged predatory actions. Names of victims in the predator were omitted to protect the anonymity of the children into respect the due process of law. Now it is clear who these people are. I suggested that coaches, parents, and gym owners keep their ears open and be willing to have tough conversations because more people would be coming forward with their own traumatic experiences. We are now starting to see that happen more and more. Continue to talk to your athletes and kids and letās keep progress moving forward until all kids can feel safe and listened to.

Pedophiles in Cheerleading

Monday Jul 06, 2020
After the release of Athlete A which tells the story of the sexual abuse scandal perpetrated by Larry Nassar and covered up by USA Gymnastics, athletes in our sport have begun coming forward.
Our sport is not immune from predatory adults. We see it in the news far too often and now, our athletes are starting to come forward to face their predators in an attempt end the cycle.
Names of predators are starting to surface. Athletes are gaining the strength to speak out and they need us. Proactive steps must be taken now and a plan for how you are going to react is also of the utmost importance. Don't let it catch you off guard.
