Share Your Experience
Have you recently taken part in a USASF Leadership Workshop? We'd love for you to share your experience — let other members know how it benefited YOU, your club, athletes or parents after participating! You can leave a written or video testimonial- or both! Thanks in advance and we look forward to sharing your experience with #AllStarNation.
What is IMPACT?
Created with the understanding that we are all leaders and lead in different ways, the IMPACT Workshop is designed for All Star professionals, owners, coaches, event producers, choreographers, etc. Through group discussion, interaction and activities you will learn to identify and expand your natural leadership style. By understanding how you lead, you will create pathways to enhance your ability to influence those you serve in your role as an All Star professional.
What is BOLT/MARCH?
This leadership workshop is designed to identify and enhance the natural leadership style within YOU! All USASF cheer and dance member athletes who are entering 9th through 12th grades are eligible to attend this exclusive training opportunity throughout the summer and fall of 2021.
BOLT/MARCH workshops activate young cheer and dance leaders to become strong peer role models who put team first, fully commit to their All Star program and learn to make the choices that lead to accomplishment. Developed and led by alumni of the USASF Mentoring Leaders program, BOLT/MARCH will set young athletes on their path to success.
Not only do participants rave about their BOLT/MARCH experience but completion of the workshop can lead to next level opportunities such as:

The IMPACT leadership workshop was such a powerful experience. It hit home in so many ways for me personally. It was incredible to see how it impacted my staff as well. The self reflection and understanding of myself and others was so enlightening.

Each BOLT conference has been unique in its experience. Each time I grow and learn something new about myself and walk away motivated to be the best possible version of myself.
