Question
I have been asked to coach cheerleading for next season. What certifications must I have to become a middle school coach in Illinois?
Dear Dana,
As a mental game coach I am not familiar with what certifications you might need but I would suggest you contact the Illinois Cheerleading coaches association - http://www.cheericca.org/ . I'm sure someone there will be able to help you.
