Drop a win from this week big or small. New skill landed, a hard practice you pushed through, anything. Let's hear it.

This is your open Q&A thread for anything related to college cheer recruiting. No question is too basic. No question is too advanced. If you are thinking about it — ask it here.

Welcome to Base Camp by Altitude. Before you do anything else inside this community — introduce yourself right here in the comments below. This is how you find your people. A base in Texas finds another base in Texas. A 15 year old male cheerleader finds other male athletes who get it. A flyer chasing her college dream finds someone on the exact same path. It all starts with this post. Use this format: Name: Age: Hometown: Position: Current gym or program: Biggest cheer goal right now: One thing I want to get out of Base Camp: Drop your introduction in the comments below and go find someone else who just introduced themselves and welcome them. That is the culture we are building here. The climb is better together. — Coach Jay

This thread is built around one simple idea... When you post your goal publicly the people around you become part of your accountability system. You are no longer just telling yourself you are going to do something. You are telling your community. That changes everything. Post your current skill goal using this format: Name: Current level: Skill I am working toward: My target date: Why this skill matters to me: Then come back and update this thread every time you make progress. Every rep. Every breakthrough. Every setback. Document the climb publicly and let Base Camp climb with you. When you hit the goal...post it here first! — Coach Jay

Keep in mind this was my first day working with this athlete!!! Notice how in the first video she bends a lot in her knees and is squishy with her arms. The drill that you see on the tumble track is a really good way for you to understand how to maintain jumping back into a good handstand shape to create a stronger back handspring. I want some of you guys to try this and let me know if you feel or see a difference!
