Here 4 Cheer

Why Your Team Hits in Practice but Struggles at Comp


Listen Later

What if your team isn’t losing because of skills… but because of what’s happening in their mind?

In this episode of Here 4 Cheer, Megan Gomarlo sits down with former Division I cheerleader Bailey Sineni—now a licensed therapist and mental performance coach—to break down the REAL reason teams hit in practice but fall apart under pressure.

Bailey shares her personal journey from cheering at Alabama to stepping away from the sport due to mental health struggles—and how that experience led her to build a system that’s now helping teams perform when it matters most.

You’ll learn:

  • Why confidence ≠ mental toughness
  • What’s actually happening in an athlete’s brain before they compete
  • The biggest mistake coaches make before - and after - performances
  • How breathwork can instantly reset a team
  • How to build athletes who can handle pressure (on and off the mat)
  • If you’re a coach, athlete, or parent—this episode might completely change how you think about performance.
