Summary: A Fabulous Resource!
Review: This is a great book! I found all sections well laid out and written and particularly enjoyed the graphic interface of "hint and tip" type text boxes found throughout the book. The author is very knowledegable and demonstrates, in photographs, many items in the motion and jump sections. It is indeed the perfect resource for coaches and cheerleaders.The stunt section for all-girl and co-ed alone is enough reason to buy it! They are very detailed and cover all the basic (including drills) through advance stunts for both all-girl and co-ed. Short of video, this is one of the best instructional stunt resources I've ever had. I find myself recommending it often to other coaches and have refered to it many time due to questions I receive as founder and president of PennACCA (Pennsylvania Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors). It is one of the most up-to-date books on the market, so it is definately number one in my cheer resource library. My only personal drawback was a lack of choreography description, but I have yet to find a book that can adequately describe this! It is a good instructional book, especially for new coaches, but I think even veteran coaches would benefit from what is offered. It covers every aspect for cheer programs (starting a squad, fundraising, tryouts, technique, stunts, even competition). I would recommend it for coaches and cheerleaders of all types of cheer (all star owners would probably still want a book on the business side of owning an all star) because this book covers all you need to know. I would definately say make it part of your library!
