On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we chat with Julie Chaykin, former cheerleader, dancer, and coach.

Tell us about the practice and preparation required in cheer.

“A key factor in practicing for the sport of cheer is every single athlete being dedicated and present. This is imperative to the success of the sport. The multi facets that are involved in cheerleading require everyone's full attention and support in order to be successful."

What helped you transition from being a college athlete to running your own business?

"Teachers and coaches can have a huge impact on a child's life and on a family's life. In college, I had the blessing of having an amazing coach and I've had some wonderful teachers, so that really molded me into something that wanted to be nothing but positive and give positive light to children...It's definitely had an impact on the current things that I'm doing."
