Due to this one major accomplishment, she felt that if she could do this, she could do anything. Although she was one of many,…

Have you wondered the reasons for making a sport? For example, if you play soccer, do you know what lead to you making the team? Years or practice? I researched some of the reasons why I think I made the cheerleading squad at my high school. I believe that taking dance lessons, stretching, rehearsing dances and cheers, and my academic record lead up to me making the cheer squad, something I enjoy doing on my freetime. Having experience in something can help you in the long run. I have been…

This year the Rock Port High School football and basketball cheerleaders hosted a cheer clinic for elementary girls. Preschool through sixth grade girls were invited to attend cheer camp. The cheerleaders made up a dance for the girls to learn during the practices. The elementary girls had practice on Saturday, October 1st; Thursday, October 6th; and Friday, October 7th. The girls performed that Friday night during the halftime of the football game. The little cheerleaders performed two cheers,…

So, having read this title you can probably guess this story is going to have something to do with a broken bone. If you didn’t guess that then, you should probably become a better guesser. Anyways, there was a night 2 years ago when I was sitting in the basement with my bestfriend, Breilynd, and there was absolutely nothing to do. I’m not exaggerating that either. We could not think of a single thing that would keep us occupied for more than 5 minutes. I turned on music after a while, and a…

Cheerleading is a Sport Growing up cheerleading since the age of seven to the age of seventeen it was always a big controversy on whether cheerleading was a real sport. I’ve always thought of cheerleading as a sport. It’s a sport that involves many types of skills such as you have to work as a team, it’s a very competitive sport, and it requires a lot of physical activity.” Cheerleading is a sport that combines gymnastics, dance, teamwork, bodybuilding and communication. Anybody can throw or…

“U.G.L.Y you ain’t got no alibi!” You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it, we’ve all hear this horrifying cheer, that cheerleaders use all around the country. Cheerleading is a very dramatic activity. When you first hear the word drama, what do you think of? You might be thinking, chaos, exclusion, crying, fights, judgement, etc. All of these words lead back to one thing. Cheerleading. Most girls, teenagers especially are full of drama. So cheerleading could easily turn to bullying, by saying hurtful…

Throughout the first three years of my high school career, I participated in varsity cheerleading. when I joined the team as a freshman, I felt very young and inexperienced, for I was constantly surrounded by older girls. However, as the year progressed, being able to watch and learn from them aided greatly in my personal development. They taught me responsibility, leadership, how to interact with a diverse group of people, and many other important life skills. With each passing year, I found…

The anticipation as the cheerleaders wait for the announcer to call them to approach the mat. The cheerleaders are very tense as the butterflies burst in their stomachs. The berserk cheer moms hoot and holler for their daughters as they proceed to the floor. Many girls are pondering the question of how in the world they made it. As I pursue my goal of making it to states, I am blessed with my prime team; however I am obligated to conquer the adversities to achieve this mission for my team and I.…

fellow athletes, however when our squad was in a cheerleading competition, not one of the other athletes came in support of us. This showed the lack of respect other athletes had for our cheerleading squad. For these past 11 years I have never stopped cheering, between all star, middle school, high school, and now college I never gave up doing what I love and a sport that I truly respect. Cheerleading does not get as much recognition as it deserves and it should receive the same respect as other…

Social Psychology amongst Cheerleaders For this paper, I chose to evaluate my high school’s cheerleading team for concepts that were taught in Social Psychology. I was a member of this team for my junior year of high school- 2012 to 2013. I was a first-year varsity cheerleader, and it was my second year attending this school. This team was almost entirely composed of student dancers with teammates ranging from fourteen years old to eighteen year olds. I was the only non- freshman who had not…
