š¤øāāļøāØ Be in the right level (S2.36)
Episode of May 26, 2025 with Pascale Labelle, Flames Cheerleading
In the world of cheerleading, choosing the right level for an athlete isn't just a matter of pride or challenge. It's a key decision for safety š”ļø, progression š andā¦ fun š !
š« Leveling up too quickly can slow down your progress
Many people think that being placed in a higher tier will automatically motivate them šŖ. But the reality is different:
ā If the elements are too difficult, you risk stagnating.
ā ļø You may become less involved in certain parts of the routine.
š©¹ It's also a risk to your safety and that of your teammates.
š” It's better to excel at your current level than to "rush" to a level that's too high.
The philosophy of the clubs
Each club has its values š¬:
šÆ Build high-performing teams from the start of the season.
š Place athletes according to what they can do at tryout time .
ā Reserve āexceptionsā only when necessary to complete the team.
ā³ Progress takes time
An athlete does not level up every year, and that's normal ā .
š Golden rule for coaches: 3 years per level
1ļøā£ 1st year ā learn the basics š
2ļøā£ 2nd year ā start to master šļø
3ļøā£ 3rd year ā excel and move to the next level š
š Development doesn't just happen in team training
To evolve, you also have to work outside:
āŗ Participate in performance camps.
š¤øāļø Tumbling, strength training, flexibility.
š Go to open gyms to practice in a fun and safe environment.
šļø Patience pays off
Coaches think about safety, progression and overall performance.
The goal šÆ: to place each athlete where they can succeed and excel.
The right level at the right time = more fun ā¤ļø and more success š .
š” In short : trust the process š, work hard š„ and let the progression happen naturally š±.
