Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Most cheerleading injuries don’t happen from one big fall—they build up slowly over time.
In this episode of The Cheer Athlete Podcast, we break down what overuse injuries are, why cheerleaders are especially at risk, and how parents and coaches can spot the warning signs before a small issue becomes a season-ending injury.
You’ll learn common overuse injuries in cheerleading, why repetition and limited recovery play a role, and three simple things you can start paying attention to right away to keep athletes healthy and on the mat.
