How to Train for Harder Cheer Skills (The Missing Pieces)

Hybrid Cheer

You're in early. You're staying late. You're putting in the extra reps. And you're still stuck in the same place you were three months ago. If that sounds like you, this isn't an effort problem. It's a foundation problem. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why working harder alone isn't getting you there and walking through the Athlete Capacity Pyramid, the four-tier framework I use to coach every athlete at Hybrid.

Could listen to Bonde speak about anything honestly. This man has such a positive way of thinking and so methodical in the way you express your thoughts. First saw you in Dan's videos and got hooked on those videos but really enjoying these sit down talk videos as well. Smashing it mate

Fire video, dude. I was a cheerleader all of high school, coached a rec league squad for four years, and now I’m helping my daughters’ brand new school (just founded last year) get their cheer program off the ground. It opened as a K-6 and the top grade will age up until it’s a K-12, so next year we’ll have 5-7 grade cheerleaders, they’ll become 6-8 graders to set our middle school program, and then eventually we’ll have JV and Varsity high school programs.

You’ve got me thinking about methodology and sequencing and emphases. Are they competing? No. Does that mean we can be slack? Also no.

Your other video on drama and setting team culture was super helpful too. I have one daughter that cheers at Showtime Elite in Woodstock, GA and your other videos on tryouts, this video, and others have helped me help her. You’re giving out absolute gold for free, and I’m stoked on it. So grateful for you!

You should change the headline, my first thought as a cheerleader was that it was a clickbait to change hobbies :D as in stuck doing the sport instead of stuck in a skill.

For the video: I too often see athletes that say "I can do [lvl 6 skill] but not [lvl 4-5 skill] and they are wondering why they dont hit. I do dance training as well, and in that realm the equivalent of that is people wanting to learn hard choreographies without having the fundamentals, so their lines/movements are not as crisp/sharp because they lack the motor control/body awareness. Sure, they had the optics of the movements, but not the quality that comes with knowing basics first.
