What To Expect:
Force Plate Jump Testing: We will be using force plate technology to test your vertical jump height, explosive power, and "springiness." An email will be sent out to all clinic participants with a summary of their scores as well as a detailed explanation of what each measure means related to cheerleading with sample exercises to improve each measure. Athletes will be able to see their jump scores compared to others who participate. However we will be using "code names" so that athletes cannot directly compare to others they know. Athletes will know their code name only.
Cheer Doctor Injury Prevention and Workout: We will be discussing injury prevention as well as how to get stronger to improve your stunts and tumbling. Participate in a Cheer Doctor lead workout with Physical Therapist, strength coach, and former USA and Ohio State Cheerleader, Dr. Maria Wisman.
Cheer Dietitian Workshop: Participate in a class with Registered Dietitian, Bengals Cheerleader, and founder of Nutrition for Cheerleaders, Ashley Martinez to learn how to fuel optimally for performance!
Cheer Sport Psychology Workshop: Participate in a class with Sport Psychologist Dr. Kylee Baker to optimize your performance through mental strategies.
Optional Stunt/ Tumble Clinic with Ohio State Cheerleaders: Stay for an optional 2 hour coed stunt clinic with Ohio State Cheerleaders. Lead by Ohio State Cheer Head Coach, Ben Schreiber.
