Before we drop the whole 1hr interview here, I want to share a tiny piece of what world class choreographer John Knowles had to say when he was answering my question to him about what coaches should be doing right now to ensure the highest opportunity for success later in the season. He shares SO much in the interview, so this is only a tiny piece... but think about his answer from the coach perspective he was talking about here AS WELL AS our parent perspective. He's talking about decisions... leave your thoughts in the comments about how your coaches might be doing this, or how you might be doing this as a cheer parent.

Hey y'all! We did an interview with our friend, John Knowles the other day and want to know if this type of conversation matters to you or not. He is the former Allstar Director at Cheer Athletics and is a world renowned choreographer now with many World Champion teams, Summit, NCA, Majors, etc. He teaches coaches how to study the scoresheets and how to be better coaches. Is that interesting to y'all so you have a better understanding of what your coaches should be paying attention to, or is it too far outside the parent lane? Say yes if you want it or no if you don't... remember this is YOUR community to build, shape, and ask. Also, if you want anything specific, ask for that here too :)
