Are you making cheer decisions based on assumptions or facts? What if your next big move in the cheer world was being held back by outdated beliefs or misunderstood dynamics? In this candid, live-recorded episode, Jason and B keep it real with raw discussions straight from the mat and behind the scenes. Whether you're a cheer parent, coach, or athlete, this episode hits on real struggles—team placements, mental roadblocks, communication gaps, and the cheer lifestyle grind. If you're questioning next season's direction or just need a cheer-world reality check, this one’s for you.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
  • Why it's critical not to count yourself out—before tryouts even happen
  • How to navigate the tension between coaches, athletes, and parents for a healthier gym culture
  • The truth about team dynamics, choreography struggles, and what really makes or breaks a season
  • Press play to uncover what it really takes to thrive—not just survive—in all-star cheer.
