Disagreements with Your Coach -_____-

This is always a tricky one because although you might be write and your statement might be a bit more logical just remember your coach is more experienced and wise. But that doesn't mean you have to agree with everything she says, as long as you make your statement clear and get her on your side.

Coaches can be a little hard headed especially when they have about 30 cheerleaders making different suggestions. Their head soon just starts to spin, but remember if you have a problem or suggestion of your own be sure to say it but don't do it at the wrong time. Here are a few things cheerleaders want to say or suggest but they're too nervous/scared or just don't have the right timing.
 
1. Do We Have to Go Full Out?
 
This usually gets your coach upset because she thinks your squad is being lazy and don't want to put in the effort. The more you go full out the better it will be in the long run.
 
2. Can I Be a Flyer?
 
Just know that the Coach knows what's best and if they didn't put you as a flyer when it started they probably had a good reason. Long legs, or long torso is always a consideration when coaches are deciding flyers because the longer the legs the longer the stunt and the longer the cradle. It's much simpler with a small flyer. Just think who would I be replacing? Would I fit with the old flyer's stunt group? You can always approach your coach and ask for a try but don't be hurt if they say it's not gonna work out.
 
3. What If We Do This....?
 
Making changes can always be helpful and benefit the dance or cheer just make sure you know what you're talking about. Go home and practice the routine and add your change, if it fits with your coaches counts and isn't too difficult of course present it to her!
 
 
Talking to your coach can be scary but just make sure you do it at the right time, and you have a good reason. Changes and suggestions are always helpful so don't be afraid to put in your input!
 
Love,
A Cheerleader
