The Truth About Netflix's Cheer Finally Revealed

Netflix's Cheer quickly became a popular must-watch among users when it premiered in January 2020, and fans haven't been able to stop praising the athleticism and discipline of the Navarro squad. But there's a lot most don't know about it. Here's a look at the untold truth of Cheer. Cheer shined a light on the incredibly intricate, often dangerous stunts meticulously rehearsed by competitive cheerleading squads. Throughout the Netflix documentary series, viewers watched as the Navarro cheer team painstakingly practiced a pyramid formation, only to drop flyer Mackenzie "Sherbs" Sherburn during a run-through, effectively putting the cheerleader on the sidelines for the rest of the season. Speaking with O, coach Monica Aldama revealed Sherburn's accident inspired major changes to the routine to ensure the safety of Navarro's cheerleaders. However, as Aldama explained, the process of choreographing a safer routine wasn't shown on Cheer. Aldama told the publication, "You saw the falls that we had. But it didn't show the other thousand times that we were doing progressions and trying to do easier things before we did the hard things, and all the times we did it perfectly and all the times that the kids sat out when they were injured. I do want to make sure the audience does know that we do take great concern and care for their health."
