Cheerleader Self Analysis

Improved Essays
As a cheerleader my strengths include being very determined, hard-working, and most importantly spirited. Especially when it comes to stunting, making sure everyone in my stunt group is using the right technique so that each time it goes up it hits, even if it doesn't I make sure to move on and learn from each mistake and try to make the next attempt better.

Cheerleaders have always been seen as “stupid” and proving those stereotypes wrong has always been an import thing to me. Being kind and respectful to others will bring positive recognition to my team as well. This past year we did achieve a lot but in the process of doing so it became very difficult especially since we would always have people missing for no apparent reason so this year I hope that the whole team can be more committed and more responsible. As for my coaches i hope this year things begin to change and they become more strict with consequences for those who don't show up. I know as a team member I am very committed and I am always there for my other team members, which brings me into how I may help the team and how I will be as a captain. Whenever we are learning a new routine and I see someone lost or has any sort of question I make sure to help them and go over the counts with them until they get it even with dances I will make sure to break each motion step-by-step so that they get a clear
