“Do you want us over there?” What do you think of when you hear these 3 words, Panther, banner, skirts? Well heres the scenario.…
I always felt like everyone had a special talent accept me. Some could paint, act, play sports, but that was never me. I was just a little girl being bullied for having a blanket and sucking my thumb in first grade. Always left out and being told I would never amount to much, took a big toll on my grades. All throughout elementary school I was in the “special” classes.…
While in middle school every young girl’s dream was to be on the varsity cheer team. While the last week in September we started trying out. I swear that whole week I felt sick and could not eat anything unless I wanted it to come right back up! After school we went straight to practice until 5:30. The older cheerleaders took this to heart and got so mad at us when we started joking around.…
As a cheerleader you have to work as a team, without being able to work as a team and trust your teammates the team falls apart. Being…
Crouching, we softly chant, “energy.” Slowly rising our bodies, we chant louder and louder, almost reaching a scream and going insane, until our bodies drain completely of our nervous energy. We settle back down onto the floor and have a few minutes to ourselves. Time travels too fast. We rise and make our way down the endless hallways toward the stage.…
While preparing to attend Utah State University or the college of your choice, male prospective students should consider trying out for the Spirit Squad. For male High School athletes, who have a desire to continue being a part of a team sport, cheerleading would be a great choice for them. One great incentive to being a part of the Spirit Squad is that it does offer a scholarship that will help pay your college tuition. In cheerleading, males need to maintain a certain physical fitness level to help them stay in shape and to achieve stunting and tumbling goals before performances. Because of this, male cheerleaders need to be strong to tumble and stunt with their assigned partners and should entice them to want to be a part of a spirit squad.…
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. " This quote by President John Quincy Adams helps embody my role as a leader. I strive daily to make others feel as though they are strong enough to be able to accomplish their goals. Being a cheerleader, I fulfill a key role in the leadership of my high school. Peer pressure challenges me on a daily basis to make the right choices.…
At a math and science oriented school, cheerleading is considered an oddity; people who haven't seen our halftime routines think the team is something of a joke. But this has reinforced an important principle for me -- to persist, even when approval is not immediate. Cheerleading has…
You never truly understand cheerleading until you actually do it. There is nothing like being on the mat, seeing your coach stand at the front banging on the floor because everyone just hit the zero deductions we needed to win it all. Cheerleading gives you this warm fuzzy feeling inside making you smile from ear to ear with pride. Just like any other sport should make you…
Ever since I was six years old cheering on my local Pop Warner team, I have dedicated an unwavering amount of time and dedication to my beloved sport. Whether it’s staying at school until six o’clock every day or spending my weekends making choreography for my team, cheer affects my life inside and outside of school. The life lessons and qualities I’ve developed through cheer are traits that I can utilize for the rest of my life. Most notably, cheer has taught me the value of hard work. My team at Kennedy High School has competed in 3 competitions through Sharp Internationals and Jamz Cheer and Dance.…
Perhaps the biggest effect of the development of NCA was the upbringing of competitive cheerleading. Since hybrid cheer and sideline cheer could not be ruled as a sport, that did not mean competitive cheer did not have a chance. Johnson and Sailors (2013) described competitive cheer as a squad that only competes against other competitive squads in events held by cheer organizations (p.257). Competitive cheer fills the guidelines of obtaining physical activity and a competitive nature against other teams but NCAA still ruled it out. NCAA stated that competitive cheer should be ruled out because it does not have standardized rules and scoring systems.…
There is an on going debate whether or not cheerleading should be considered a sport. This issue has even been argued in a court of law. Competitive cheerleading consists of lots of practices, competitions, routines that are critical to remember, tumbling, stunting, and jumping. Competitive cheerleading shares many of the same physical abilities as other team sports. Cheerleaders work hard on all of their skills so they can improve as a team.…
I missed tryouts, but they let me be a junior varsity cheerleader. I was so nervous about the first practice, but they seemed to be open to me cheering. This was all before school even started so I thought some of the people were nice, but others probably wouldn’t be. The first practice went great. Nobody even knew me, but they were friendly.…
A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…
