It honestly comes down to
Have your gym consider Fierce Connection again because it ends up being cheaper than a lot of other education resources. If your gym sends one person to a coaches conference then FC is affordable. We are similarly cost effective and no matter how big a gym is, 5 or 80 people, it is the same price. We just signed up Stingrays as customers and I didn't even bring this to them because I had assumed they wouldn't be interested. But being able to watch videos on their phones anywhere was really interesting to them.
We have a tumbling catalog of which we are adding videos from many different instructors on the same topics. @yojaehs helped us with the first videos and now we are adding videos from UK, Stingrays, and a couple gyms we've planed are also Worlds winning gyms. We are doing a stunt catalog for level 1-5 on how to teach the main skills in each level with progressions. We have a basket video from TG on how they teach their baskets (it is a solid hour on how they teach) with questions on how to trouble shoot. (I think that is one of the things that separates our catalog from perfect demo videos is the athletes have mistakes and you get to see how trouble shooting works). And last is the new section we are working on which I think will help a lot. A bunch of coaching situation questions with 3-5 minute answers from coaches all over the industry. Questions like: How do you gain athletes respect? How do you deal with having to make a flyer a base? How do you handle an athlete talking back or disrespecting at practice? How to handle sickness and injury?
My gym just closed down so hopefully where ever the cheer world takes me next will be more receptive to it or already be members.
I am very glad that someone is able to put this type of resource together for coaches. I've only heard amazing things about it.
