The Cheer Biz Podcast

Your 2026 Game Plan Starts Now


Listen Later

We’re closing out 2025 with a hard look at the habits that quietly stall growth—and how to fix them before 2026. In this episode of the Cheer Biz Podcast, Dan Cotton lays out the five biggest blockers holding cheer gym owners back (plus a bonus): weak websites and marketing, inconsistent social media, lack of patience and consistency, focusing on the wrong things, not protecting your time and health, and misusing AI. Expect clear examples, tough love, and a step-by-step plan you can put to work today.


You’ll learn how to:

Turn your site into a lead-gen machine and stop guessing at what works in Facebook/Instagram ads.

Build a daily content cadence that actually drives inquiries (and why three posts a day isn’t crazy).

Trade “quick wins” for repeatable systems and patience that compounds.

Refocus on goals, staff development, enrollment, and routine quality—what truly moves the needle.

Guard your energy: sleep, fuel, move, and batch work to reclaim hours each week.

Use AI as a scalpel (not a hammer) to edit, iterate, and speed execution—without losing your voice.

If you run a cheer gym, tumbling program, or youth sports facility, this is your blueprint to grow enrollment, strengthen culture, and hit your 2026 goals with clarity.
