Cheer's Monica Aldama Sheds Some Light on Her Coaching Style and All Those Injuries
The woman at the head of Navarro College's cheerleading team has become a special kind of star thanks to Netflix's docuseries, which showed off both her tough coaching style and serious love for the students she refers to as her kids. She pushes them hard, but they're happy to be pushed by her, and they're equally pushing themselves. told E! News during a visit to our office last week."A lot of people don't say it but I will say it.
"She always talks to us, making sure that we know that no matter whether we're on the show or not, like, you're representing Navarro, you're representing her, you're representing yourself, so you have to make sure you are good, and all your Ps and Qs are in order so that you know you can handle what you need to handle," he said.
The show even showed interviews with former students who hadn't been on the team for years, but who still worshipped Monica Aldama and were still representing Navarro years later. She says she's heard from many students after she was no longer coaching them who said that her lessons resonated with them later on, and watching current students talk about what they were learning from her often drove her to tears. "I've cried every time I watched it," she told us.
While Monica does push those kids extremely hard, she doesn't want them to misunderstand what she's trying to do. "I really love [seeing] that, because I don't want them to to think I'm just always riding their tails, because I do ride 'em a lot, but only because I want them to be successful, and not just cheerleading but in life. So I'm constantly giving them little tips or, you know, how to get themselves together," she said.
