Almost every cheer parent has likely heard the words, “I think I want to quit" from their athlete at some point or another. In this episode, we’re diving into the tough, emotional conversations that come with your athlete questioning their place in cheer. Kristen walks you through why these feelings might come up, how to respond with empathy instead of panic, and the best ways to guide your child through the decision-making process—whether that means sticking it out or moving on.

If you’ve ever faced the “I want to quit” conversation (or want to be prepared for the day you do), this episode will give you the tools, perspective, and peace of mind to navigate it with confidence.
