I heard that the SMOED show was scripted.. hopefully cja's isn't...
I mean the athletes aren't rehearsing scripts, and practicing lines, but they are put in very CONTRIVED situations.

I'm not sure but I have a theory they dd this purposely for drama.id hate to be the flyer with a dizzy base. also, whyd AJ wait till the days before the first comp to tell em that he wouldnt be makin it to the comp?? hello?
he was in NCA with them and im pretty sure he competed with them prior as wellim almost positive she flipped her head down on her own, his hand barely touched the back of her head. but i also dont get why he would come back and then after im guessing one practice? says he cant compete cause of the military commitment. kinda pointless to ask someone to come back who has all that going on... does anyone know if he went to NCA with them.

W/ the few episodes I've seen so far, I actually hope this *IS* scripted - a coach pushing athletes w/ possible head injuries to continue practicing and ignore the advice of/not see doctors!? - if it's not scripted I think the USASF should be investigating her practices regarding injuries. And I still think there should be some type of rule against how that floor ends right up against a brick wall - I've seen enough fulls just launch 8-10 feet in all kinds of crazy directions to know that isn't safe.
It was ...not to mention some of the throwing up during conditioning was done deliberately so the cameras wouldn't miss it ...sad really...I heard that the SMOED show was scripted.. hopefully cja's isn't...
That would generally mean that the athlete isn't ready to be throwing fulls. Assuming no coach is going to ask an athlete to land their pass 6" from the edge of the mat (although after the concussion incident I'm not so sure that's a safe assumption), then it's probably safer having the floor end against a wall, rather than risk an athlete stepping off the mat awkwardly and twisting/fracturing an ankle.W/ the few episodes I've seen so far, I actually hope this *IS* scripted - a coach pushing athletes w/ possible head injuries to continue practicing and ignore the advice of/not see doctors!? - if it's not scripted I think the USASF should be investigating her practices regarding injuries.

Omg - another episode where she blames an athlete for their injury - last time the kid wrecks into the wall (and I still feel that is very unsafe for her to have the floor go right up to a wall w/ that level of tumbling - it's hard for me to watch those kids tumble in a situation like that), this time a girl gets kicked hard in the back of the head - and she brushes it off like its nothing. Then later the girl is complaining of dizziness (hello - could be a concussion) and she yells at her because she was injured before (I wonder if her "boo boos" we're broken bones or something?). This is NOT a good image to give of cheerleading - I would not want my child being in the care of a coach who yells at her when she says she's dizzy after being kicked in the back of the head when I'm not around. Gosh - it's a case for parents needing to be at the gym cause I would have taken her out of there and to a doctor when she said she was dizzy (and PA even mocked her for thinking about going to a doctor). Wow. If that girl was my CP, she'd be pulled from that gym now - you don't make my kid feel guilty and brush off a possible head injury and think you're gonna have my trust from then on.
And the situation w/ that guy and the marines is just odd - most kids have a hard enough time balancing school cheer w/ all star cheer, this guy is gonna try and do it w/ military service. Lol.
PA really came off as very, very mean and uncaring in this episode.
And I'm sorry, those kids can't tumble anywhere near as good as SMOED - I'm kind of confused how they placed higher than them at NCA, but I guess SMOED's deductions added up and dropped them down.
