Self-Confidence

From coaching our athletes to achieve their personal best to training them in an encouraging environment, Mustang Cheer makes it its mission to build up our athletes and grow their confidence. Recognizing that every athlete is made differently but has important skills to contribute, Mustang Cheer celebrates every cheerleader’s critical contributions to the team—from the tall back spots that steady the stunts to the powerhouse tumblers that rock the floor to the cheerleaders with the megawatt smiles and eye-catching charisma—every cheerleader plays an important part.

Leadership

Acknowledging that others in school and in the community look up to cheerleaders, Mustang Cheer actually builds leadership training into its curriculum to prepare its athletes to be the best leaders they can be. Beyond skills training, Mustang Cheer emphasizes such qualities as honesty and integrity, passion and commitment, and encouraging others through things like identifying monthly leadership themes and reinforcement of those themes in team meetings and organic teaching moments. Additionally, Mustang Cheer recognizes athletes each week who demonstrate leadership skills in practice.

Teamwork

The very essence of a cheerleader is one person encouraging another. Mustang Cheer creates a culture of encouragement where athletes practice building each other up every day. Athletes work on appreciating that every individual new skill makes the team stronger, and as their trust for one another and friendships grow, their team strengthens.
