The Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker
The Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker is a product directed specifically towards cheerleaders who are able to tumble. The point of this idea is to gain better feedback on your tumbling than an instructor would be able to give you. Also, if you're tumbling by yourself, The Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker will be able to let you know how you're doing.

The way it will work is through a chip that is placed inside the sneaker. The chip is located in the arch of the shoe and will not be removable. Once the shoe has been purchased, the tumbler will then download an application on their smart phone that will wirelessly receive the data being sent from the chip. The technology is similar to the technology of the nike running sneaker with the chip. This is the technology of the future in athletics.

The ideas of this product have evolved tremendously from the start. At first, the chip was going to be removable. Instead of having the data being wirelessly sent to a smart phone through an application, the chip was going to be inserted into a small device the size of an iTouch. This device was only able to provide the tumbler with the feedback from five tumbling passes at a time, but now it does so much more than that. The information being sent to the phone will not need to be deleted because it has enough memory.

This sneaker does not compare to other cheer sneakers. It has all the technologies of the other sneakers and more. It is very fitted in order for the person to feel as though they're tumbling bare-footed. There is plenty of support on the bottom of the shoe so that the person's foot does not get sore from all the aggressive contact it makes with the floor. Last but not least... it has the chip to record rebounds and movement to tell you how far you're off from where you should be. It allows you to track your progress so that you can improve over time.

In order to make this possible, it needs to become well known. This can happen through cheerleader magazines and also through social media. Once a few cheerleading teams discover the shoe, it will spread like wildfire.

Entrepreneurial Idea:
The Do-It-All Cheersneaker is one that girls that tumble are going to want. Inside the sneaker, a chip will be placed to record tumbling passes. To be able to understand where in your steps you went wrong, as well as why your rebounds are off is something that an instructor cannot always tell you. You can then review your passes and improve.

Lecture:
Up until this point, the Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker had a chip that was placed into the soul of the shoes where it could be removed to be put into a small device to provide feedback. Some changes have been made. The sneaker will be purchased with the chip inside the arch of the shoe and now it will not be able to be taken out it will stay put. The chip will send data wirelessly to the person's phone. They will have an application on their phone where they can check regularly the feedback on their tumbling. This application will provide the dates of the different times data was sent so that the person can keep track of how they have improved over time.

This application will only be able to be used on an Apple phone therefor the operating system will be iOS.The operating system manages the device hardware and provides the technologies required to implement this cheer app.The operating system also ships with various system apps, such as Phone, Mail, and Safari, that provide standard system services to the user.

This operating system multitasks very well. When the home button is pressed, applications that are being used will not be terminated. This means that if the person is in the middle of using the app and they want to stop to send or read a text then they are able to do so without losing the data on the app. Also the operating system does a good job of preserving battery life while using the apps. The app is suspended by the system shortly after entering the background. The operating system multitasks well.

Competitor #1 URL:  http://cheerzone.com/Nfinity_Cheerleading_Shoes.aspx
Competitor #1 Overview:  The Nfinity Evolution Cheer Shoe is supposedly the "best all around cheer shoe." Similar to The Do-It-All Cheersneaker, the Evolution Cheer Shoe is light weight at 6.5 ounces. Made with trademark web and lace design for more uniform fit, this shoe, like mine will feel as though you are tumbling barefoot. I feel that although the two shoes have these important things in common, the Nfinity shoe is lacking the obvious. It does not have any technology to provide the tumbler with feedback of her tumbling passes.

Competitor #2 URL:  http://www.americancheerleader.com/2011/09/2011-cheer-shoe-review/
Competitor #2 Overview: The Nike Sideline 2 is made to last through even the most difficult cheer training. This is different from my sneaker because it was not designed for this kind of training, it was designed merely for tumbling. This sneaker, similar to the Nfinity shoe, also does not have a technology that provides feedback.

I feel that in order for my product to succeed, I need to think about these competitors and what they bring to the table. I think I would like to make sure my shoe is made so that it will be durable. The shoe is not meant for intense training but it is meant for tumbling in during practice over and over. I want to make sure that it will be able to last a long time.
It is popular among cheer sneakers that the shoe be not too thick so it will be easier to perform in. This is a good feature for the shoe.

The chip that is placed into the heel of the shoe where there will be a port is going to be a memory chip. It will record movement. It ill be a megabyte chip. The memory is considered to be volatile memory because every time the tumbler has reached her fifth tumbling pass, the chip erases and starts from scratch. This i because it cannot hold the amount of data for six passes.

Once the chip is inserted into the device which we will call tMaster, a set of options will pop up. The person can choose to view all the passes from start to finish, or they can pick them out individually. They can be played as many times as the person desires. If he/she wants to keep the information from one pass but get rid of some of the others they can do so. There will be an edit option in the corner where you can select the items you want to be deleted and do so. The purpose of this would be to keep the information from one pass as well as throw more and have all that data still be on one memory chip since it is only capable of holding five.

The tMaster will have a central processing unit it in which will allow the device to carry out the instructions that the person gives it. The control unit will direct and coordinate most of the operations that it is instructed to carry out. These instructions once carried out can be deleted in an options setting. This will allow there to be less space being taken up in the device allowing it to work faster.

Excel is a program that I feel is really going to help the sellers. I think as a company it is important to keep track of your sales over time. This way you can learn with those specific numbers how many people were drawn to the sneaker. There should be a column for each year. Showing the months sales going down the rows will be a good way to keep track of how good the company did each month. It will also be able to determine whether the shoe was somewhat of a success. For example as months increase, if the sales also increase then this a good sign. To show this on the spreadsheet, the if-then analysis statement can be used. If the sales decrease then that is a bad sign.

Not only can the sales be kept recorded in excel but also surveys can be given out and those statistics can then be kept in this program. There is a magazine that goes out monthly to cheerleaders who are interested. Also, this is a magazine that is popular in cheer gyms, where tumbling lessons takes place. I feel that it would be a good idea to put a survey in these magazine asking basic questions related to this sneaker. An example of a question that could be asked would be; On a scale of 1-10 how helpful is your tumbling instructor in helping you grow? Questions like these would then be placed in rows and going across these rows we would place the number of people the said yes and no. At the bottom of these, excel can calculate for us the averages of the answers.

I feel that excel is an easy and organized way to provide this type of information. Finding the averages and adding up the sums are not impossible to do manually, but this way we know that there will be no error. If this information wasn't recorded how else would these companies keep track of this important information?

 The Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker

One of the most needed skills as a cheerleader is tumbling. The tumblers are the girls you see running up and down the sidelines doing multiple flips. There are very few cheerleading teams that will accept a girl if she cannot tumble. It doesn't matter how good she is in all other aspects, she needs to tumble. With practice and the proper instruction, it can be done. But where do you go to get this instruction? It can be difficult taking advice from a tumbling instructor because even though they can watch what you do, they don't know exactly where you're going wrong. This is where the Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker will come in.

The sneaker will be very fitted to the foot; It will almost feel like tumbling barefooted. However there will be enough support in the shoe so that after a while of tumbling, the foot won't feel pressured. Directly under the arch of the shoe there will be a slot in which you can place a digital chip into the sneaker. This technology will review your tumbling similar to how a digital camera can review the pictures that you have taken with it. You are able to throw a total of 5 tumbling passes before the memory in the chip will erase and start over. Once you have finished with the five passes, you take the chip out and place it into a small electronic device the size of an iTouch. The device will go through each pass and tell you exactly what you did wrong, and how you can improve. It will be better to get this feedback from this device rather than the instructor because it will be tracking your steps, as well as your rebounds. 

With the Do-It-All Cheer Sneaker, cheerleaders don't have to get so frustrated when their instructor isn't helping them. Not to say that the instructor isn't important, because he/she is, but the chip is going to provide exactly what the instructor cannot. The only technologies that tumblers have to use now are video cameras. With the video cameras to allow you to see your own tumbling, with the instructors to help guide you to success, and the chip in the sneaker, tumbling will become a little less frustrating and more common in cheerleaders from all around.
