About this listen

Christmas break is over and suddenly competition season is very real.


In Episode 5 of Cheer Dads Unfiltered we break down what it felt like walking back into the gym after two weeks off, the nerves the girls didn’t say out loud and the moment we realized this cheer thing just leveled up.


We talk about:


  • First practice back vibes (rust vs. locked in)

  • A brand new stunt was introduced two weeks before the competition

  • Trusting the coaches… even when your kid is flying face first

  • The emotional rollercoaster of comp week is creeping in

  • The real costs parents don’t expect (tickets, parking, swag, all of it)

  • Why dads showing up LOUD actually matters

  • and of course… football takes, tailgate plans and dad chaos


If you’re a cheer parent heading into your first competition weekend this one’s for you.


Next episode? Competition weekend will officially be in the books.
