I'm loving this thread! I'm gonna have to bookmark it :) I could compile a nice list (not necessarily cheer related) but I think the vicodin is clouding my memory lol
this isn't a book, but one thing I do suggest, however, is for athletes to take a psych and soc class in college if they have a chance. It was required by my major, and I really didn't want to take it because most people say its a blow off "talk about your feelings" class, but I actually found it very interesting. I have applied the information I learned more to cheerleading than I have in athletic training. I had an awesome professor, and pretty much we went over different techniques for handling stress, and getting mentally focused, and ways to be successful. Again, it sounds kinda common sense, but I actually learned alot, and it helped me through hell month this year,
