Spirit
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
This season, the Sanderson Varsity Cheerleading Squad claims their top priority is improving their sharpness so they appear an undivided group.
I found this surprising as I watched them cheer at a Varsity Soccer game in early October. I was waiting for a unique photo opportunity while the girls were in a two-line, equally-spaced formation in front of the stands. All of a sudden, every cheerleader made a 180... More

Performing Like The Pack
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
When an athlete develops an overuse injury of the lower leg such as shin splints, jumper’s knee or tendonitis, we always evaluate the entire lower quarter.
We pay particular attention to the hips. The muscles that flex the hip are some of the most universally tight muscles in all of athletics.
Because athletes spend a great deal of time in a good stance, flexing their hips and lowering... More

Championships Taught Titans Never to Give up
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
The Wake Forest Titans are about believing. Believing in themselves, their coaches and in each other. Their story is about coming back from defeat and learning to win.
The first Titans team came together when they were kids. Qualifying as Tiny Mites in the Pop Warner age and weight brackets, these little guys were no older than seven, and weighed no more than 75 pounds.

Dear Dr. Burt: I enjoy playing softball, but because I focus only on softball, I worry that I am not getting an overall good workout during the fall and winter, when I don’t play ball. How can I design a conditioning program that will help me win on the diamond and also stay fit during the off season?
The toughest and most important step in an exercise program... More

Teamwork: Millbrook's JV and Special needs Cheerleading Squads Work Together in an Inspiring Partnership
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
The story of the Millbrook Special Needs Cheerleaders is anything but ordinary.
The idea for the squad began last year when Shannon Stone, Millbrook’s JV Cheerleading Coach, attended a Cheer Elite competition and witnessed an extraordinary performance by a Special Needs Squad from Lee County.
Upon returning to her own school, Shannon immediately gathered her JV Cheerleaders and explained the concept, and the squad was enthusiastic from the... More

Ask The Doc
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
Dear Dr. Burt:
After a weekend off from playing and training, I start Mondays feeling stiff and end up sore at the end of the day. What should I be doing on the weekends so I’m more comfortable playing during the week?
Warm Up. Cool Down. Be Flexible.
An effective fitness program is more than aerobic training and strength building. To really reap the benefits of... More

Ask The Doc
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
Dear Dr. Burt:
I enjoy playing sports because it helps me keep my weight down and I look cuter in my swimsuit at the beach. But lately, I have been tired, and I don’t feel good. My parents are always trying to make me eat more, and limit my exercise to my regular sports practices, but I am afraid that if I do this, I’ll gain weight. What do... More

On Friday nights it is not hard to find Samantha Poulos. She’s on the football field cheering for the Broughton High School Capitals.
