Mothers - your cheerleading children need this!
My friend and her daughter live and breathe cheerleading. I had no idea just how important conditioning was for cheerleaders. After reading Rik's book, they have a much better understanding of strength and how to properly perform the exercises. They are grateful that I thought of them when I saw Rik's book and gave them a copy. I am receiving physical therapy for my shoulder and feel badly when I see teenage girls receiving therapy because of a cheerleading injury. I hope other mothers will get this book for their cheerleader children.

An outstanding hands on reference book!
A back handspring is one of the keys to making any cheer squad and as a parent of several daughters, I can't begin to tell you how important making the squad is to each of them. Reading Rik's book on "Cheerleading: Conditioning for Back Handspring & Tumbling Success!" really opened my eyes regarding how much conditioning plays a critical role in safety and success in tumbling. Every parent of a cheerleader or a young athlete trying out for the squad should get a copy of this book. Combined with Rik's other book, "Back Handsprings: The Secret Techniques," any cheerleader would gain a tremendous advantage during tryouts and throughout the season. ... Read more
