Episode 129: From Braces to Body Control How to Help Cheerleaders Move Smarter


Listen Later

This week on The Cheer Athlete, Laura breaks down two important cheer topics every parent and coach should understand:

đŸ’Ș 1. Bracing for injury prevention — is it actually helping or hurting?
Learn why relying on braces can sometimes weaken muscles and delay true recovery, plus what you can do instead to build lasting strength and confidence.

🧠 2. Teaching body control and awareness
Discover simple, effective ways to help cheerleaders feel their movements—tightening the right muscles, improving posture, and mastering body positions for safer, more powerful skills.

Whether your athlete is a flyer learning to stay tight in the air or a base working on landing strong, this episode will help you rethink how to train for injury prevention and performance.

✹ Ready to help your cheerleader move better, feel stronger, and reduce pain?
Laura’s new Flyer Strong and Cheer Backbone programs are coming soon — designed to build flexibility, stability, and power specific to cheer athletes.
