How can I change what people think about cheerleading?
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009CheerMom asked:
I coach competitive cheerleading & I’m not sure if it’s Florida or if the world has pre-conceived notions about the sport. I hear complaints about how expensive it is, how it’s too girly, of course I hear that it’s not a sport, or that it’s not good for kids to compete, etc. I even have people sign up & quit because they thought they’d be jumping around giggling instead of working hard.
I’m not sure how to talk to people & explain that it’s not what they seem to think. I feel like they shut me off before I start. What can I do?
