In this episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Lauri Harris, the executive director of USA Cheer, the governing body of cheer in the United States. Lauri has an extensive history within the cheering industry, starting off with doing varsity cheerleading. Together, we talk about the exciting future of cheer!


Here are some things Lauri and I talk about:

  1. [8:50] If it’s not fun, if you’re not enjoying it, it’s not gonna work out for you - you have to find something that’s fun, that you’re passionate about.
  2. [19:57] You don’t even realize just how many real-life skills you’re developing until you’re in the real world.
  3. [36:19] Even once you’re not cheering anymore, you’re still a leader, you still have those leadership skills, you’re still a part of a team - whether it’s a part of a career or a relationship or friends or whatever it is.
