"The Tech of Sports" Episode 35: Cheerleader Rachael Kelley
Friday, December 14, 2012 at 7:40AM Athletes come in all shapes and sizes and usually take a risk when they get out on their field of play. It’s no different with cheerleaders, as they have been in the news recently as the push was on to make cheerleading a sport and give them the same resources and care that athletes like football and basketball players get.
Make no mistake about it, cheerleaders are athletes and the sport is dangerous. With 400,000 high school cheerleaders, 123,000 on competitive cheerleading teams and up to another 10,000 in colleges and universities, this is a popular sport.
On this episode of "The Tech of Sports", I talk with St. Louis University cheerleader Rachael Kelley.
Rachael is insightful, entertaining and engaging. If she wants, she has a future in broadcasting.
Give it a watch or listen.
