FAQ's
Why
is the DVD set so valuable to cheer athletes?When a cheerleader wants to advance on his/her squad or onto college cheerleading, there needs to be tools that will encourage them to take the next step. Certainly, stunting and tumbling will play two key roles in your advancement. Students inherently trust their coaches and sponsors for intelligent advice and tips on how to get better. In some cases, these people are not properly trained or do not have the best interest of the cheer athlete at heart. Some cheerleaders try to accomplish the same skill for years! These DVD’s will enable these athletes to see, hear and learn the proper way to execute even the most difficult of skills. From full downs in stunting to full twists on the floor, the Nail IT DVD Series provides the tools that empower these athletes. These DVD’s can help prevent injuries, promote understanding and help increase individual and team success. All this for the cost of two months of gymnastics or cheer instruction!

Why is the DVD set so valuable to parents?
Parents typically are not very knowledgably on low level and high level stunting and tumbling skills. This leaves them helpless and at the mercy of the sponsor, coach or instructor for safe instruction. With these DVD’s, the parents are not armed with the knowledge of proper skill instruction, progression and spotting. Additionally, the DVD is about the cost of one or two private lessons. These DVD’s, when studied carefully, will save your child hours of frustration and you, the parent, hundreds of dollars by teaching them the right way, the first time!

Why is the DVD set so important to Coaches?
Most cheer coaches do not have 20 years plus of coaching experience. Additionally, they may not have the experience of spotting high level skills such as full downs, back tucks, layouts and full twisting layouts. With these DVD’s, a coach can now learn how these skills are supposed to be completed, and understand how to spot them successfully. Lastly, if the skill is does incorrectly, they can be confident that they know how to provide a correction! Click here for more valuable information for Coaches.
Why is the DVD set so valuable to gym owner?
Gym owners now understand that cheerleading is much different than gymnastics. The athletes have different skill sets and they attempt entirely different skills as well. These DVD’s can assist the gym owner in training their coaches on the proper way to execute, spot and coach these skills, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the athlete and the liability to the gym.

Why do I need a safety assessment?
Has a cheerleader in your school or gym been injured? Do you think that injury could have been avoided, but no action has been taken? Do you feel that your coaches and instructors provide conflicting coaching advice? Do you feel your school does not provide adequate resources to insure the safety of your cheerleader? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a safety assessment could be a very useful, impartial tool, to provide momentum for change. Is the cost of the assessment worth avoiding one broken bone, concussion or dislocation? Click here for more information on the Cheerleader Safety Institute.
