When your cheerleader is suddenly switching roles — from base to flyer or flyer to base — it can feel overwhelming for both athlete and parent. In this episode, I break down what actually matters during a position change: strength, stability, mobility, confidence, and understanding what the other role feels like.
You’ll learn:
• Why bases often transition smoothly into flying
• How flyers can build the strength needed for basing
• The role proper warm-ups, mobility, and strength training play in safer stunting
• How to help your athlete avoid injuries during the transition
• What NOT to rush when it comes to flexibility and body control
Whether your athlete is being asked to jump in for pyramids, switch roles for comp season, or build well-rounded stunt skills… this episode will help you support them every step of the way.
