20+ Years in Cheer… and Still Not Done Talking About It!
Cheer Chapters is all about sharing my 20+ years in the cheerleading world. This sport has been a massive part of my life (and let’s be honest, sometimes it took over my life—if you know, you know). My goal is simple: to help grow this sport and support others on their own cheer journeys.
So… am I the woman for you? Well, I’m pretty straightforward. I’m prone to going off-topic, taking a few side quests (consider yourself warned), and speaking from the heart. I’ve worn many hats—athlete, coach, program owner, event provider—and now, mum, ADHD-brain wrangler, and dyslexic wordsmith.
I didn’t take the traditional path into Allstar cheerleading. Instead, I stumbled in through youth work at the age of 16, straight into coaching—and never looked back. Cheer stole my heart, my weekends, and sometimes my sanity (again, if you know, you know).
Here, I’ll be sharing it all: the mistakes, the must-haves, the chaos of starting a cheer business, coaching tinies, and even my unexpected author journey. Whether you’re watching on YouTube, tuning into the podcast, or reading the blog, I hope you find something useful for your own cheer adventure—or at the very least, something that makes you laugh.
Much love,
Allison xx
