Episode 173: The Last Movement Screen Video Cheer Coaches Will Ever Need (5 Tests, 10 Minutes, No Equipment)
Description
You don’t need a PT on staff to start paying attention to how your athletes move.
In this episode of The Cheer Athlete Podcast, I walk you through a simple movement screen you can use with your team in about 10 minutes—no special equipment or certification required.
We’ll look at trunk flexion, the squat, single-leg stance, kneeling, and push-up/reverse push-up patterns. More importantly, we’ll talk about how those movements fit together.
Because an athlete who struggles with a heel stretch, jump, stunt, or squat doesn’t necessarily just need more stretching or more repetitions. The compensation you see may be part of a bigger movement pattern.
This isn't about diagnosing athletes. It's about learning to observe movement, recognize when something needs more attention, and know when pain means it's time to refer out.
I’ll also introduce The 10-Minute Screen, the tool I’m building to help coaches screen and track athletes without having to remember everything themselves.
