  • Female gym owner always learning

    Love listening to Dan during my commute and workouts. Although I own a rec only gymnastics school, so many topics relate to my business (even though a lot of cheer episodes). I feel like he is talking just to me and his topics always seem to line up perfectly with issues I am facing. Thank you!

How to Actually Train Cheer Athletes the Right Way
Q: How can a gym build strength and conditioning with limited equipment and time?

How to Actually Train Cheer Athletes the Right Way
Q: What top books would you recommend for coaches in sports performance or coaching?
He cites The Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning (NSCA) and Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink, emphasizing the leadership and practical application they offer; he also mentions Coach's Guide to Teaching by James Kerr for structured skill development.
How to Actually Train Cheer Athletes the Right Way

How to Actually Train Cheer Athletes the Right Way
Q: What got you to pursue sports performance, sports psychology, business, and all the disciplines you mentioned?
Rocky describes a desire to stay involved with athletes and coaching, crafting a degree that integrates exercise science, psychology, nutrition, and business to become a full-service problem solver for athletes, coaches, and gym owners.
What Cheer Coaches Are Getting Wrong About Flexibility
Q: What are the top three mistakes you see gym programs making in flexibility training?
Holding stretches too long, neglecting strength work, and pushing on athletes are the three biggest errors; each triggers the nervous system to tighten unnecessarily and increases injury risk, so finding a middle ground is essential.
