Does your cheerleader need a confidence boost?

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!)

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JPeMQZ_4BIU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

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 : )

<script type='text/javascript' async='true' src='https://app.ontraport.com/js/ontraport/opt_assets/drivers/opf.js' data-opf-uid='p2c149140f27' data-opf-params='borderColor=#fff&borderSize=0px&embed=true&formHeight=182&formWidth=100%&popPosition=mc&instance=n1743729162'></script>

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!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObsdSlgvK9w" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

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

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Five years ago I had a heart transplant. I was in a coma and my mom was told I would probably not make it. And if I did I would probably not be able to walk again. But guess what? I woke up and when I left the hospital I walked out. I work hard to stay in shape and I love to exercise. When I exercise I feel amazing.


I was in a coma and my mom was told I would probably not make it.


I told my heart doctor that did my heart transplant, “You know it’s been five years now since I’ve had my heart transplant and I’m doing amazing”. I’m deaf in one ear but that’s all. I’m cheering at Rockstar Cheer this year and I’m so excited for the change. I’m eight years old and so proud of myself. I came from being in a come and the doctors not knowing if I would ever walk again. To now throwing my full.

– CHEERFIT Ambassador Biscuit Redd

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS?:

I am a level 4/5 cheerleader and this year on my dance solo I never lost. Not once . I just got my full and I’m so excited about that. I also received the Varsity Pinnacle award for confidence at the Summit this year!

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU REACH YOUR GOALS?

I have gained so much confidence and I love helping others and making new friends. My stunts have got so much better. Because of my muscles and learning how to control them my tumbling and stunting has got so much stronger. It has made me gain my half and full easier.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I love making new friends and learning new things to share with others. If I can just help one person I will be so happy.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

You should become a CHEERFIT Ambassador to gain confidence and skills. You will make and meet lots of amazing new friends that you will have for a lifetime.

I got my name Biscuit because I always have Biscuits and molasses With me. I make it my goal to help others as much as possible like giving homeless socks and underwear they said they hardly ever get them. I try to do this weekly. I know I’m a miracle and I speak to others about not giving up and if they want something they can. Exercise as much as possible but don’t overdo it and you will feel good, trust me. You will love it after the first couple of weeks. I go to stores and people say wow look at your muscles! How old are you? Do you like to work out? I always say of course it’s fun to me. And I started doing pull-ups now and I can do more and more everyday. I’m Biscuit and I am CHEERFIT Strong!

How to Stay Fit in the Off Season

How to Stay Fit in the Off Season

Honestly cheerleaders don’t have an offseason! We use the summer time to perfect and gain new skills to incorporate into our routines. Therefore, it is especially important to take care of your body during this time so when competition season rolls around you will be prepared! Here are my top tips to keep you on the right track during the summer.

Tip 1: Make a Workout Schedule

The best way to stay fit during the off season is obviously to work out! Dedicating as little as thirty minutes a day to exercise can make all of the difference. I make a schedule at the beginning of the season based on my practice days. I try to organize my more strenuous workouts on the days I don’t have practice. So on a practice day I may just focus on some at home workouts, but when I don’t have practice I go for a run or to the gym!

Some of my daily exercises consist of crunches, squats, planks, and candlesticks. I also love switching up my routines with new exercises using a yoga ball, weights, or a medicine ball. Another way to make workouts fun is to have an exercise partner!

Whether you just meet up and go on a run together or do buddy workouts it’s always motivating to have someone to exercise with you! 

Tip 2: Make Time to Stretch

Believe it or not stretching plays a big part in working out. Always take time to stretch before you work out so you don’t pull a muscle, as well as afterwards to cool your body down. Daily stretching is especially important for flyers to improve flexibility. If you are a base or back spot you may want to incorporate hand weights into your daily routine to build up arm strength.

Everyone should work on jumps! Some of my favorite exercises are straddle leg lifts and v-ups with ankle weights on. This way when you take the ankle weights off it makes your jumps much higher!

I have also found having a weekly fitness goal helps to keep me on track! 

Tip 3: Eat Healthy

Healthy eating is another important part of fitness. It gives your body a boost of nutrients and makes you feel more energized. There is so much fresh produce during the summer months. I love visiting local farmers markets and stands to get fresh fruits and vegetables!

Hydration and nutrition go hand in hand. At my gym we do not have an air conditioning so it is especially important to stay hydrated! I carry a bottle of water with me wherever I go.

After long hot summer days make sure you get plenty of rest, so you will be on top of your game for practices! 

Tip 4: Become a CHEERFIT Ambassador

My best advice…become a CHEERFIT Ambassador! It is one of the best decisions I made and perfect for the off season!! Each week, I get new workouts and can share my journey with other Ambassadors around the world! I love knowing that I can log into the CHEERFIT Club, anytime and have a customized workout ready for me : )

Coaches Tips For Tryouts

Coaches Tips For Tryouts

Here are some DOs and DON’Ts for TRYOUTS of 2018!

I get it, tryouts can be stressful – but they don’t have to be! Follow my top tricks and tips to make this year’s tryouts stressfree and fun for both you and your cheerleader!

DOs:

  1. Take extra tumbling classes or privates to clean up your current skills. You can take extra privates at your gym or virtually with Danielle (check it out)!! 

2. Look presentable. When you feel good, you do good! We are looking for you to be confident in the level you are trying out for. A polished, clean look adds to confidence and overall presentation.

Gabby looking presentable for tryouts.

3. Get a good night’s sleep and eat healthy the days leading up to tryouts. Getting sleep and eating healthy will help you stay focused and energized. 

4. Come to tryouts with an open mind. Just because you were a flyer at your old gym, does not mean you will be a flyer again.

5. Deep stretch the days leading up to tryouts. You might be able to accomplish that needle or a hyper extended jump if you really stick to a regimen. See my last blog on improving flexibility!

Amarys stretching at home.

6. Trust the process! The coaches are the experts and we take a lot into consideration when putting teams together.

DONTs:

1. DON’T Take extra tumbling classes or privates to try to get new skills in a rush for tryouts. Coaches are looking for proper technique or “compete-able” skills. We’d rather see a beautiful specialty level 2 pass, as opposed to a round off tuck landing to your knees. 

2. DON’T come to tryouts in non-cheer sneakers, hair in face, or wearing jewelry; these are not only unsafe, but also a distraction. 

3. DON’T come to tryouts with a cheeseburger, candy, and soda in your bag for break. Your energy will crash and you won’t feel 100%. Instead, stick with water and healthy options such as fresh veggies or a piece of fruit. 

4. DON’T refuse a stunting position when asked to try basing or flying in a particular group. Leave it to the coaches to “play around” until we find a perfect fit for you. 

5. DON’T skimp out on stretching. You can easily pull a muscle if you haven’t been in the gym in a few weeks and haven’t warmed up those muscles properly before try outs!

6. DON’T bad mouth the gym, coaches, or other athletes based on where anyone or yourself should be placed. Hold your chin high, be a good team player, and most of all, have fun!

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: KLOEY & CHRISTY ARNETT

The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.

Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle.

In honor of Mother’s Day, we are featuring one of our awesome CHEERFIT mom and daughter duos! Presenting one of our very first CHEERFIT ambassadors, Christy Arnett and daughter Kloey in this week’s Ambassador of the Week feature!

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

Christy – I started cheering in middle school through high school and then I cheered at The Ohio State Univeristy. During that time I also started coaching high school and all star cheerleading. Fitness and cheerleading have always been a part of my life and something that I have enjoyed. It was not only fun for me but I enjoyed having a positive impact on kids. All cheerleaders and coaches have struggles and I think that is the challenge of the sport and what makes us better is how we work through and overcome those struggles.

My daughter Kloey started taking gymnastics as soon as she could walk at 13 months old. From there it was in her blood to be a cheerleader (her dad and I both cheered at The Ohio State University and coached all star cheerleading together). Finally, at the age of 3 I let her tryout for a tiny team and she has loved every minute of it since. It’s hard learning new skills and routines at a young age plus dealing with “grown up” pressures of competing but as a mom/coach I really try to keep everything age appropriate for her.


We try to keep it positive and keep encourging her to be her own person and work through her own struggles at her own pace.


It’s really all about balance and having fun.

– CHEERFIT Ambassador Kloey & Christy Arnett

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT AND HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS?

Christy – I am currently the Rebel Athletic Territory Manager in Ohio and Kentucky. I love working for a company that has such a positive impact on athletes of all ages and levels. We focus on making athletes not only look good but feel good in their apparel as well as supporting #rebelagainstbullying campaign. There’s so much more to being a cheerleader these days and we really care about the athlete.

Kloey – Also, dances at our local YMCA branch and loves school. She is a leader when it comes to her friends and team sports and is always encouraging and positive. She is so positive her nickname is “Poppy” from the movie Trolls.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 

Kloey – My team and I won 4 National Titles this year!

BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED ME. . .

Kloey – get stronger and challenge me do something active everyday even if I am in the gym or not. I know others are counting on me and looking at me to help them get better too.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

Christy – I love being a part of something that encourages young athletes to better themselves not only during their season/training, but in life in general. Making these healthy changes a habit at a young age is going to stick with them as them grow into adults as well. The love of health, fitness and being the best person you can be will only keep spreading.

Kloey – I love working out and encouraging others to get healthier and stronger. Plus its fun that I get to workout with my mom.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

Kloey – It’s a lot of fun and you get to meet a lot of new great people from all different places that love cheer and fitness too.

WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

Kloey – Always in my Rebel Dream Bag are my Cheer Shoes, Tissues and hairspray
Christy – Always in my Rebel Dream bag are chapstick, Rebel Charger and business cards

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

All About That Base

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISE?

Kloey – Burpees

FUN FACTS:

Christy – I am also a Beachbody Coach and own Rock Star FIIT. I focus on quick workouts for busy moms and workouts that include moms and kids. It is great to get the whole family involved and Kloey and I have been doing these workouts since she’s been a baby. With 3 very busy kids, it’s hard to find the time to workout. All of my workouts are 30 minutes or less!

I was one of the very first CHEERFIT Ambassadors and now my daughter Kloey is one too. We are so excited to be on this journey together spreading the love of cheer and fitness and encouraging moms/daughtes/athletes to make themselves stronger.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story Christy and Kloey! You are so inspiring – we LOVE ‘fit fams’ and we LOVE that you you both support each other in your fitness journeys! Thank you for being a part of the CHEERFIT family from the very beginning. . .we are lucky to have you both and look forward to your fitness journey with us!
