Question
Hi my name is Jared, I have been in cheerleading for 2 years,   both in
competitive cheerleading and high school.  I am experienced in co-ed stunting,
group stunting, and tumbling.  With co-ed stunting I can do toss lib, toss
cupie, and have my full up to lib.  I can hold my lib, while the flyer pulls
stretch, scorpion, scale, etc.. In tumbling, I have my running full, standing
tuck, front punch to series and other different tumbling passes.  As I am
preparing for college, I am a senior this year my goal is to get a scholarship
to a D1 college such as Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific, Alabama, etc. I was wondering if
you have any advice for me or if you know any consultant in the St. Louis area
that may be able to coach me up further privately. I would appreciate what to
else would be beneficial in pursuing my goals and what college coaches are
looking for in a male cheerleader. Thanks for your advice.

Answer
Unfortunately I do not. Please forgive the length of time it took to respond but I'm based on the east coast so I wouldn't know anyone locally. Very impressive for an incoming freshman though. You're way ahead of where I was at that time and I ended up being captain of my squad my final year.
