Is Cheerleading a Sport?

Is Cheerleading a Sport?

Dr. Gatt

The age-old question has finally been answered. During a medical presentation regarding the prevention and treatment of common injuries afflicting cheerleaders and gymnasts, Dr. Charles Gatt made a personal guarantee: Yes. It. Is.

Dr. Gatt’s talk was entitled, Cheerleading and Gymnastics Injuries. He covered a litany of different injuries that are common in both cheerleading and gymnastics after heavily refuting critics that cheerleading is not a sport.

The informative and illuminating presentation provided a comprehensive explanation of the severity of injuries and the commonality with which they strike within competitive cheerleading and gymnastics.

The event took place on November 11, 2015 at the Educational Conference Center.
