The humble mom and dad are my favorites. Those who might think that their child is the best cheerleader on the planet but have no desire to tell you about it. I don't like parents who brag about how great their child or team is. They know they are blessed and fortunate to have the opportunities to cheer and compete without having to slam some skill or victory in your face.
I always found it so funny to hear cheer moms brag about the skill of their child at college tryouts only to see that child in action. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to say, "This isn't All Star anymore. This is college. This is Kentucky. This is the best program in the world. So don't come talking about how great your child is/was in All Star. We do our nationals routine on a hard floor, not spring floor. We single base stunt here. If you are here, be humble about it and grateful for the opportunity. Ok, pumpkin?"
