Monica Aldama is the Head Coach of the 14x National Championship Winning Navarro College Cheer team! Famously known for her Netflix documentary, "CHEER," Monica and her athletes won over the hearts of America through their grit, dedication, and tear jerking underdog stories.

On this episode of Real Pod, Monica dives into her experiences as a coach at Navarro... How does she establish such a successful culture? When does she draw the line between hard work and pushing someone too far? What are the biggest hurdles she and her squad have faced? Monica also details the feelings of guilt that many competitors face when taking time off, what it was like to compete on DWTS, and reveals the self-care ritual she does every single night before bed!
