Episode summary
What this one is about
Britney Gilman, owner and head coach of Supreme Cheer & Tumble in Mesa, Arizona, joins the Cheer Dads Unfiltered crew for an in-person conversation inside the gym she built. Britney shares her journey from discovering cheer and coaching at a young age to building Supreme from 21 athletes into a growing competitive program. The episode explores what cheer parents do not always see behind the scenes — running a gym, building culture, developing athletes, managing parent relationships, handling mental blocks, knowing when to push and when to slow down, and creating an environment where athletes and families genuinely feel like they belong.
