Want to know how to improve your cheer team performance?

What if this were to change? What if athletes could continue to engage with teammates and coaches outside of their training sessions, what if they could review their routines and skills in their own time, on their own devices, and at their own leisure?

What if coaches could use quick, easy to understand, professional performance data to help them with their online and in-person coaching?

What if they could draw on the uploaded videos and post messages to help, motivate and teach their athletes?

How much would this speed up their athletes learning process and help to improve their performance?

How many more competitions would they win?

Our experience has led to these 6 proven tactics to help get your team to the top.

It’s critical for teammates to communicate with one another, and it’s preferable that habit begins with you, the coach.

You are the key influencer on the team’s atmosphere, it’s up to you to create trust and nurture better connections with your cheer team.

With technology being such a large part of everyday life, especially with your athletes’, why would you not maintain an open line of communication where team members can ask questions and engage outside of the practise sessions – without it taking too much of your time?

Positive Reinforcement

Pulling together is a terrific approach to strengthen ties and keep a continuous stream of persistent hard effort going.

For example, coach Carmine Silano helped his team progress by forming a large team circle and having each individual or group go to the centre of the practice and perform the ability they worked on that day until it was perfected. The rest of the squad would applaud, shout, scream, and support the performing person or group. It was one of the most successful team-building exercises he had ever utilised.

Surely, this learning and teambuilding should continue outside the practise and training sessions, with coaches and team members continuing to encourage and helping each other?

Instil Confidence

As a coach you know that the more your team are able to review their performances the better equipped they are to attempt new skills.

Being able to watch videos of their training sessions (that the coach can draw on drawn on to help explain moments in the routine), and being able to post questions and answers that are synchronized with the specific skills in the video enables your athletes to turn up to the next session better informed, and more confident.

What if they could actively analyze their own performance and ask questions, and even open a private conversation with the coach?

Did you know that athletes who are engaged in their development are able to recall 65% of what they have learned after 3 months? That’s compared to the usual 10%!

How much would these points boost your cheer athletes’ confidence and what effect would this have on the energy they bring to their performances?

Why not empower your team members to learn about the mistakes they make, why they make them and what to do to correct them? Why not coach your players to learn to coach themselves?
