This week, we spoke with Kelly, the mom of a 4th season vet. Kelly enrolled her daughter Regan in our program right away, and has also been involved every season so far in a “team mom” role. This has allowed Kelly the opportunity to see more of the program from behind the season, as well as assist our staff in communication with parents and helping provide feedback to make our program a success.<\/p>\n

Her coach said that Regan is an athlete who strives to do her best. When she puts her mind to something, she will work hard until that skill is achieved. She is always willing to try new positions and try whatever her coaches tell her to do. Her team work and great attitude make her a joy to coach.<\/p>\n

See what her mom thinks below:<\/p>\n

I swear this child was born in motion and has never stopped. When she was younger we enrolled her in swimming and gymnastics. She did well, as she is naturally athletic, but we kept getting the same feedback: \u201cRegan would progress much faster if she could hold still, listen, pay attention, stay in line.\u201d Those words captured every part of who she was NOT by nature! This is a child meant to run, move, spin and flip! We knew she needed a sport that would celebrate that part of her, rather than work against it, and that\u2019s when we found Ideal Cheer Elite.<\/p>\n

Regan has now completed three seasons with the program, and is excited to start Season 4 on the Junior Level 2 team, Black Ice. When she began, she knew the technique for a cartwheel, but that was about it. Now it seems like every time we turn around she is accomplishing a new skill \u2013 some of which make me want to close my eyes as a mom! Best of all, she learned these skills without a minute of time standing quietly in a line. She has found a sport that truly celebrates her strengths, while at the same time teaching her patience, persistence and teamwork.<\/p>\n

Some of the things we have appreciated most about Ideal Cheer Elite include their commitment to teaching proper progression in a safe environment, and staff setting realistic goals with athletes. When you have a child who thrives on adrenaline, it is important to work with coaches that help them stay safe while achieving their potential.<\/p>\n

We are so happy Regan has found her place with Ideal Cheer Elite, and we look forward to many more seasons to come!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
