Unveiled CHEER is written by Robert J. Scianna Jr., a world champion cheerleader whose life most people only saw in the cheer gym.
From childhood to elite all star cheerleading, gold medal podiums, intimate relationships, psychiatric institutions, correctional facilities, and handcuffs, Robert’s story spans extremes few could truly imagine. Cheer threads through it all, but this memoir goes far beyond the public image, revealing personal trauma, mental health struggles, faith, abuse, and the hard work of understanding himself.
He shares the good, the bad, and everything in the joy, the friendships, the opportunities, and the corruption he witnessed and endured in the sport he loves. Over a decade, he traveled the world hosting camps, teaching choreography, modeling, guest appearances, and meeting thousands of athletes, while living a life behind the scenes few could imagine.
In Unveiled CHEER, Robert tells the private story behind the public face, in his own words. It is unflinching, deeply personal, and impossible to forget.
