  • Episode 11: Life Beyond The Mat
    Oct 1 2025

    Welcome back to Shoes Off, Mics On!

    Walking away from competitive cheer isn’t just leaving a sport, it’s leaving an identity, a lifestyle, and a community. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional, physical, and personal journey of transitioning out of cheerleading, by discussing a recent article by Cheer Updates. From the “aha” moments that signal it’s time to move on, to the challenges of rebuilding identity, handling sacrifice, and finding purpose beyond the mat, we explore what it really means to let go. Whether you’re an athlete facing this decision or someone reflecting on life after cheer, this conversation sheds light on legacy, mental health, and how to honor your past while stepping boldly into what’s next. We hope you enjoy!
