In this episode of The Cheer Dad Podcast, the dads sit down with Chad Hall, one of the founding forces behind Dad Fury — the high-energy cheer dad movement that’s impossible to miss at competitions across the country.

What started as a few dads showing up loud and proud turned into something much bigger: a community focused on support, confidence, and showing athletes that their dads are all in.

Chad shares how he found his way into the cheer world, what it’s really like being “that dad” on the sidelines, and how Dad Fury grew from a spontaneous idea into a recognized presence in the cheer community. We talk about parenting through cheer, the emotional highs and lows of competition weekends, travel chaos, and why showing up matters more than getting it perfect.

This conversation is equal parts fun, heartfelt, and honest — and a reminder that cheer dads have a role to play, even if it’s loud, pink, and unapologetic.

Whether you’re a seasoned cheer parent or just starting the journey, this episode will make you laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe rethink how you show up for your athlete.

To our listeners — no matter where you are on your cheer journey, remember that taking care of your mental health matters just as much as hitting zero.

That’s why we’re proud to be partnered with BetterHelp.
