The Spirit Consultants are dedicated to the safe improvement
and growth of high school spirit programs throughout the country.
With a recent surge in the popularity of all-star cheerleading,
there has been a drop in interest and correct training at the
high school level. The Spirit Consultants are a network of credentialed
cheerleading professionals focused on increasing the level of
training and preparedness of high school cheerleading through
one-on-one custom program development, safe skills training
and expert industry knowledge.
Integrating all aspects of the high school spirit program is
essential to developing a strong and cohesive presence on the
sidelines, in the school and in the community. When all areas
of the spirit program are brought together (including the cheerleading
squad, marching band, color guard and dance team), the school
achieves far greater results. This combined effort will result
in a better program, healthier competition and a positive environment
for student athletes to learn and support one another.
Founded in 2005 by David Kirschner, The Spirit Consultants began
with the idea that every high school spirit advisor or coach
should have access to a credentialed professional that can offer
advice to train their athletes, build their program and create
a positive winning environment. David is both AACCA and USASF
Levels 1-5 credentialed; a former five year veteran head instructor
for the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA); and has coached
high school teams in NY, NJ, PA and CA. He spent four years
cheering for Syracuse University. Along with running The Spirit
Consultants, David currently coaches multiple high school squads
in the Los Angeles area, as well as a couple all-star teams.
