Joint Effort with Pickle & The Doc

Surprise interview...back where it ALL BEGAN.

One of the most important things anyone can do is remember where they came from and the influential people in their life. If we are lucky, we can continue to call on these people well into the future. On this episode, I get to introduce you all to where I got my start. My first year cheering was in High School, but it was such a new thing in my life, a lot of my time was spent just figuring out the basics and trying to truly absorb everything I could. It wasn't long after, All Star Cheerleading became the next chapter. Robert Del Toro, owner and head coach of ACE Cheer in Panama City, was my first All Star coach and offered me the first job I ever had in cheerleading. His guidance prepared me for college, taught me how to properly coach others, and the rest is history. We surprise him with an impromptu interview and catch up on how the gym has been since I was there over a decade ago. Please let me introduce to you, Robert Del Toro. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cheerleading/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cheerleading/support
