Shawn Johnson on cheerleading safetyOlympic Gold medal winner and famous gymnast, Shawn Johnson, has teamed up with Top Gun All Stars and GK Elite Sportswear  to promote safety in cheerleading.  Shawn said, “As an Olympic athlete, safety comes first for me.”  And it should for you too! 

See and hear Shawn and Victor and Kristen Rosario (owners and coaches for Top Gun) talk about how cheer coaches can make cheerleading safer for their athletes.

Inside Cheerleading Magazine recently announced that Shawn Johnson, the 2008 Olympic gymnast America fell in love with, is joining the magazine’s roster of writers and contributors.  Shawn will make her Inside Cheerleading debut in the January/February 2010 issue with her column, “Shawn Says.” 

In addition to her column, Shawn will periodically contribute to the workout, training, fashion and lifestyle segments within the magazine.  Also – and this is VERY exciting – the magazine will run several promotions in which subscribers will have the opportunity to win a prize package that includes lunch with the celebrated gymnast and the Inside Cheerleading editorial team! 

After the Olympic Games, Shawn had several opportunities to become involved with cheerleading and she said, “I loved every one of those events.” She went on to say, “…when I saw the passion, the excitement, and the spirit of cheerleaders coast to coast, I was so impressed – not to mention how fun it is! I’m really looking forward to joining Inside Cheerleading and interacting with the readers!” 

As a regular contributor to Inside Cheerleading Magazine (see my Mind Games column in each issue), I am pleased and proud to welcome Shawn Johnson to the team!
