Hi Y'all!

My name is Christy and I am the new Cheerleading Expert at About.Com. This month I will be starting to add new, fresh articles to the site and I am looking for inspiration just about everywhere. I plan on asking for ideas and opinions here from time to time (if this is okay with the mods). I would like to know what YOU want to read about-- anything goes as long as it is cheer related.

Already in the works are a bunch of regular features on skills, conditioning, motions, and more. In addition, each month I will be profiling one program (all star, university, international, and high school), one or more coaches from that program, and one or more athletes from that program. I also plan to have a brag board where you can show off your skills!

Let me know if you have any questions for me. I look forward to getting to know and becoming a part of the community here!

Random aside--my university was featured in some of the About.com videos. :cool:

@ChristyCheers what is About.com? I'm not familiar...

@ChristyCheers what is About.com? I'm not familiar...

It's a web site where you can go to learn just about anything! They hire experts in various fields-- from medicine to fashion to travel and more-- to write articles, tutorials, etc. I haven't uploaded any of my articles just yet (I plan to later this week), but pop over and have a look at what the previous expert had on offer: Cheerleading Cheers, Chants, Jumps, Stunts for Cheerleading and Cheerleaders

I'm going to start asking for pictures for my brag board this week :)

how to improve jumps and stretches for flexibility

Great! I am starting a Friday Flexibility feature this week which will include a general stretching routine first, followed by more advanced stretches each month. Look for the general stretches this Friday!

I have an article planned for next month which will help add height to jumps and have some planned for form and technique, as well.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your input! There will be at least one article on flexibility (Friday Flexibility) and one conditioning article (Wednesday Work Out) every month and I do have some nutrition articles in the works :)
