Positive Coaching for Cheerleading: Understanding Child Behaviour: Cheer with Confidence, Culture, and Character

By Jordan Alexis Leigh

Cheerleading is more than stunts and trophies - it's about building trust, resilience, and confidence in young athletes. Yet too often, children come into the sport with fragile self-esteem and leave feeling even lower. This book is a guide for coaches, gym owners, and educators who want to change that story.

Drawing on child behaviour theories and real-world cheer experiences, this book explores the powerful impact words and atmosphere have on athlete development. Each chapter blends psychology with practical coaching strategies, offering actionable steps to:

Foster positive behaviour and team culture

Communicate in ways that build trust and confidence

Design practice plans that motivate and inspire

Create safe, inclusive spaces where all athletes feel valued

Through relatable experiences, reflection questions, and practical tools, this book empowers coaches to not only improve performance but also nurture character.

Whether you're new to coaching or a seasoned gym owner, you'll find strategies to strengthen both your athletes and your culture. The routines will fade, but the way you make your athletes feel will last a lifetime.
