Question
i go to a cheer gym and my goal is to become a cheer gym owner but i have to do this thing for school its a research paper on what i want to do. so i have to find a preferably retired cheer gym owner and i was wondering if you knew anybody or had any idea what i could do??

Answer
Hi Chelsea,

   It's fun to get to incorporate cheer into school work! The best bet to finding a retired gym owner would be to put a message out on the uca message board. I'm sure there are other great boards as well, but uca is the only one I can think of where the coaches and owners are so active. Other than that, I'm not sure what else will help you, because I'm not quite sure what you need. Perhaps a current gym owner will work as well? Let me know if you need anything else.
Happy Cheering!
