🎙 Hurricanes Nation Podcast – August Episode: Cheer Safety Month

This month on Hurricanes Nation, Coach Andy takes a deep dive into one of the most important topics in Allstar cheerleading: safety. August is Cheer Safety Month, and this episode breaks down the myths, facts, and progress our sport has made to keep athletes safe.

From concussion protocols and heat illness prevention to the impact of certified coaches, Allstar rules, and proper skill progressions, Coach Andy explains how modern cheerleading is safer than ever before. He also shares practical safety tips every athlete and parent should know—covering warm-ups, emergency action plans, and team communication on the mat.

Whether you’re a parent, athlete, or coach, this episode gives you the confidence that the Panhandle Hurricanes—and the entire cheer community—are putting safety first while still chasing greatness.

💡 Tune in, learn the facts, and help us #BuildingALe6acy the safe way.

Ever wondered what goes into placing over 100 athletes across multiple competitive teams? Spoiler alert: it’s not magic—it’s the coaches! In this episode, I (Coach Andy) ask the real boss around here—Coach Errica—if she wants to explain how team placements work… because let’s be honest, I know better than to get in the way when she’s got a whiteboard and a plan.

We’re talking about the “why” behind placements, athlete development, what coaches look for, and how we build teams that grow together and compete at the highest level. This one’s packed with transparency, insight, and just a little bit of  nerd deferring. "Hey it's my first podcast interview!"

🎧 Grab your coffee, or wine as a true cheer mom would, and tune in for some behind-the-scenes real talk with the placement queen herself.
