I’m pleased to announce that my brand new column – called Mind Games – appears in the latest issue of Inside Cheerleading Magazine!   This is the October “back to school” issue and my column addresses how to make the transition from summer fun to school and practice. 

Inside Cheerleading Magazine won the 2009 award for the Best Spirit Industry Periodical Issue from SITA (Spirit Industry Trade Organization).   This award, which Inside Cheerleading has won 3 years in a row, recognizes “comprehensive, balanced, and creative coverage of the spirit industry with sound journalistic principles and emphasis on both editorial excellence and visual appeal.”  

I am proud to contribute to such a fine periodical.  Not a subscriber?  Check it out!

I am honored and excited to be one of the featured presenters at this years CheerCon! This grand event will take place from May 14 – 17 at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Gwen Holtsclaw, founder and president of Cheer Ltd interviewed me recently about sports psychology and cheerleading and we recorded the interview so you could hear it, too! Please feel free to listen in on our conversation.  We hope it will encourage you to register for CheerCon – the largest and longest running spirit industry conference! 

CheerCon is the largest cheer conference offered to coaches, cheerleaders, vendors, and industry leaders.  Whether you are a new coach or a veteran who just can’t quit, a team captain or a cheer fanatic, a vendor with that latest and greatest…you are invited! CheerCon was awarded the SPIRIT INDUSTRY Best Coaches Conference for a second time at the SITA Awards Gala in Chicago.

You’ll hear more about CheerCon as we get closer to May but for now…here’s the recording for you!
