In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane with three trailblazers of the UK cheerleading scene — Ant Ridgeway from EMCA, Angela Green from Ascension Eagles and Rachel Lynch from North East Cheer and The Cheerleading CEO.
Together, we explore their founder stories, discuss the challenges, breakthroughs, and funny moments that shaped their journeys. From the good old days of simple beginnings (and yes, CD players!) to the growth of cheer into the thriving community we know today. This conversation is packed with nostalgia, inspiration, and lessons for the next generation of athletes and coaches.
✨ Tune in for laughs, insights, and a celebration of how far British cheer has come, proving it’s #NotJustCheer, but a movement of passion, resilience, and community.
