In this episode of Here 4 Cheer, host Megan Gomarlo welcomes Kara Frair, founder of More Than Skill, for a deep dive into the mental side of cheerleading. Kara shares powerful strategies for building confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness in youth athletes — from breathwork and visualization to journaling and gamified mindset training.

Whether you're a coach, parent, or athlete, this conversation is packed with actionable tools to help navigate nerve pauses (formerly known as mental blocks), high-pressure moments, and the emotional rollercoaster of competitive cheer.

💬 Topics include:

  • How to integrate mental training into practice
  • Supporting athletes through setbacks
  • Building a positive team culture
  • Why praise matters more than perfection
  • Tools for coaches, parents, and even the littlest athletes
