In this episode, I interview Catharine Dittrick, an Early Childhood Educator and the Head Junior Varsity Coach at Milford High School in Michigan. We discuss how to instill a growth mindset in a youth level program in order to build future generations as well as why it is valuable to develop a strong sub varsity program.
Catharine Dittrick - Catharine began as a middle school cheer coach in Michigan and moved to coaching at the youth level to help develop and grow the Milford Program, her Alma Mater. Catharine's family also grew up in the Milford program. She is going on her fifth year and is the head JV coach at Milford High School. She has experience in choreography for D3 schools in her area and has coached tumbling for their rec program. Catharine continues to help out at their middle school to make it a smooth transition for athletes as they head up to the high school level. The Milford Program had not been to regionals since 1989. In 2020, the long awaited return to regionals was broken and this year (2023) Milford is top 10 in the state consistently week by week. Their goal is to make the state mat once again, as it has been 34 years since the program was able to do so.
