High School Michigan Coaches, Tell Me Your Secrets!

[Official OWECheer]

Seriously, you guys have the sharpest teams in the country. What's your secret?

MI cheerleaders are welcome to offer their coaches' tips as well.

If you're not sharp you lose so you don't really have a choice [emoji23] since there's so much emphasis on sharpness/cleanliness in the first two rounds its kind of just drilled into your head. Other types of cheer just have a small portion of motions, which I would presume is only a small amount of points, so they don't have to focus on it. It's the majority of our score so it's really important to us. We spent a LOT of time drilling round 1 & 2. There are quite a bit of teams that never really "get" it though.

True. Motions used to affect scores more in cheer. They are definitely a lost art.

I agree I saw MI teams in RI that were amazing!
