Concussions in Cheerleading What Parents Coaches, and Athletes Need to Know

In this episode of The Cheer Athlete Podcast, we take a realistic, experience-based look at concussions in cheer—why they happen, how they’re often missed, and what parents and coaches need to understand as athletes head into competition season. You’ll learn: Why concussions can happen even when athletes are “ready” Common concussion symptoms that often go unnoticed Why rest and proper return-to-play protocols matter How strength and conditioning can help reduce injury risk When athletes should not be rushing back to practice or competition This conversation is especially important for youth, high school, and all-star cheer families navigating a long season. Our goal isn’t fear—it’s awareness, preparation, and protecting athletes for the long term. I also share how strength training, readiness, and responsible coaching decisions play a role in injury prevention—along with how you can ask questions through the new Ask a PT series. Let’s make 2026 a year where cheerleaders stay healthy, informed, and confident as they move through the season. #Whenindoubtbreatheout :) Have a question you want LT to answer on the podcast?
