Cheering

Cheerleaders: Hardest Working Athletes “Champions don 't become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, years they spend preparing for it,” Unknown. This year will be my seventh year cheering. We do more than jump and put our arms in the air. We throw people over our heads, catching them most of the time. We paint signs and make sure the school is represented well. We make sure that our basketball players are well supported. They also throw ourselves across the…

Many say “Cheerleading isn’t just a sport. It’s a way of life”. If you said that to me four years ago, I would have never believed you. Now, there is no question in my mind that this is true. I was on the varsity cheer team at my high school from freshman to senior year. I was on the sideline teams as well as the competition team. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I hadn’t joined cheer. This sport changed how I view challenges as well as showed me what it means to be a family. Every…

happen to disagree. Acording to Wikipedia, the definition of a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Now I will admit that school cheering, when just cheering for another sport, is not a sport. Although competitive cheerleading is a sport, many people believe that it is not. (The Women's Sport Foundation has narrowed the field to the specific requirements: It must be a physical activity…

thinks of girls that go to public sporting events that are supportive and positive. I mean, that’s basically what we do and our purpose. My Coach makes it clear to us that we should not be wearing our full uniform at places outside the purpose of cheering. That means, not going out and about with full uni because it may put yourself and others in a dangerous situation. It’s in our constitution, and that constitution is heavily followed. Usually…

After months of physical therapy, my back slowly became stronger. My primary doctor continually told me to quit cheering but I couldn’t give up the fight that easy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t too much longer until I suffered multiple very serious concussions and sprained my neck. After several visits to the emergency room, various physicians, and a neurologist, we learned…

There are a lot of different aspects of being a college cheerleader compared to high school. There are things that a high school cheerleader has to do to adjust to the life of a college cheerleader.

are a straight face and not smiling, they can see that which shows that they do not want to win! It is always mandatory to practice with a smile even if you are not competing at that moment. Cheer has always been a positive sport because you 're cheering on a team to do better and encouraging them to keep pushing. You can’t encourage someone to be positive if you aren 't positive and not smiling! Competition is the same way. Keep smiling and cheer on your own…

Cheer- The best part about cheer is stunting. In stunting I am a flyer and love to fly. I could fly all day it is so much fun.When we fly we do pyramids, extensions, pre pps, and other things. When I fly I feel like a butterfly floating to the top. Cheering takes a lot of work but is very fun. B.Florida- I love to go to Florida because we get to spend my birthday down there, huray! My grandparents miss my birthday, so we celebrate it down there. I have a Fin Fun (which is like a mermaid tail)…

Many of us experience a turning point in our lives that changes us forever. My life changing event occurred on a softball field, in front of my teammates and their parents. I heard a pop, dropped, and instantly felt everyone’s eyes on me. Usually I don’t mind being the center of attention, but at that time I wanted to curl into a ball and become invisible. The home plate and I are usually on good terms, but I guess I made it mad that day. Grab your popcorn because I’m about to tell you the…

Cheerleading is something that I really love doing. Cheering help bring out my personality. It’s all about performance skills. Jumps, and a chance to show people your real voice. Cheering is not all about showing sprit shouting and screaming cheering is a professional sport just like any other sports as in basketball, softball, and football. They have rules and tournaments just like those. I’ve been cheering since I was little. I started cheering on the pee-wee team, the middle school, junior…
