About the Book
This is a new book by the author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller for Auditions: "Professional Cheerleading Audition Secrets: How To Become an Arena Cheerleader for NFL(R), NBA(R), and Other Pro Cheer Teams" and founder of www.ArenaCheerleader.com! FROM THE AUTHOR: When I wrote and published the #1 Amazon Best Seller in its category, Professional Cheerleading Audition Secrets: How To Become an Arena Cheerleader for NFL(R), NBA(R), and Other Pro Cheer Teams, I was amazed and awed by the response from my readers. Your stories came pouring in. For many aspiring pro cheerleaders, that book gave them the education and courage needed to embark on the unique journey of cheering for the pros. Every email made the efforts of publishing that book worthwhile. The feedback was overwhelming in its honesty, openness, and emotion. I was contacted by women who have tried out for the team of their dreams multiple times and not yet made it past the first round of cuts. I heard from women who have struggled with figuring out how to look, what to say, and how to dance in a way that will WOW the judges. I listened. I counseled women one-on-one. I interviewed hopeful candidates and gave my honest feedback. I heard your voices. My email inbox became a sounding board. I started to see one topic come up more often than most. Many of you wrote to say something along the lines of, "LOVE your book... I'm on the fourth chapter and I've already learned so much. But I'm panicking because I didn't find your book until last week, and auditions are only TWO weeks away!! I want to get through the whole book and implement everything but I just don't have time... is there a shorter list of just the essentials you can give me " I understood the need for quick research and fast results. After all, my original book was almost 300 pages long and full of detailed action plans! I can see that book just a couple of weeks before auditions can cause panic-a busy woman cannot realistically be expected to even finish the lengthy text, much less put everything into action! In various emails, I sent out shorter, abbreviated action lists of what women could do if they only had a couple of weeks to prepare. I boiled down the ideal prep process (which can take several months to implement) into a "crash course" of essentials and shortcuts. Those emails and advice became the book you are now reading. Is it better to read the almost 300 pages of in-depth prep advice in my original book? Of course! But when you are short on time, this shorter, more focused book is designed to give you the shortest path possible to audition readiness. I have over 20 years of experience in the cheerleading industry, including two years as an NFL cheerleader, and many years directing professional cheerleading teams in the US and overseas. I have made a career out of training and advising cheerleaders, cheerleading coaches, and pro dance team directors in several professional sports leagues. My mission in this book is to share with you the critical success tips you need to know to QUICKLY prepare for auditions. I want you to do your very best out there! This book was written to help you practice, prepare, and learn the essentials before an arena cheerleading audition when you only have three short weeks (and only an hour or two each of those days!) to prep for the big day. I break down the audition preparation process into 21 sequential action steps to help you reach your dreams. Each item can be accomplished in one to two hours, so even someone who has a full time job or busy schedule can use this checklist to accomplish at least one task per day until the day of the audition. That's why this is a 21-day crash course! So what are you waiting for? The sooner you start, the more time you have to prepare! Are you ready? Let's begin!
