The PROformance Review podcast (formerly The ImPerfect Cheerleader)

When I think of the word "professional," I think top tier, expert, experienced, competent, paid.

But some professionals aren't always paid what they're worth. 

In this episode we explore the reasons why professional cheerleaders should be paid more, why they aren't and how the industry of professional cheerleading could change if they were. 

Be sure to follow on Instagram @theprofessionalcheerleader and TikTok @thepro.cheerleader. 

The course you've all been waiting for is still coming! Hang tight. Updates will be on social media, so go there for the latest. 

Being a pro cheerleader is hard work and a lot of times requires you to be good at organizing, scheduling and preparing. 

So, how do you manage it all if you're in school or work full time? It might be a major adjustment if you're not used to having two jobs, but you can get used to it with time and consistency. 

Listen in on five ways to manage a full time career and pro cheer career.

Last week we talked about dealing with rejection and what to do after you hear unwanted news. This week, as part of an end to mental health awareness month, we talk about your next steps to take, re-evaluating what it is that you really want and what are you willing to sacrifice to get there. Take a listen and leave a review!

I was rejected from a team recently and I wanted to share my experience and how I was able to cope. Sometimes you can do everything right and get rejected. It can test your self-worth and make you trust the process that everything will be alright. 

Ever been rejected from a team? I'd love to hear about it and how you overcame. Send me a DM on Instagram, @theprofessionalcheerleader or email me at [email protected]. 

Leave a review and check out our new website, theprofessionalcheerleader.com. You can sign up to get on the waitlist for the course there and inquire about products and services!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Pro cheerleading is a sexy job to a certain degree. Outsiders looking in who may not know much about the job may not think of the ladies as smart, but just pretty faces. However, know that you can be both! Listen in as I discuss the why pro cheerleading started to become more about sex, how it's changing and how teams are showing the many intelligent qualities of their cheerleaders.
