Tumbling

you act out. One time in my life I had gotten a curve ball and got hit was very recently. I was doing the sport that I love and that I am captain of the team. When we were doing a section of the routine it was the tumbling section and I got left behind.

Specific tumbling passes include a running round off back handspring, running round off back tuck, and a running round off full twist out. These skills could also be done in a standing position. The running, round off, back handspring, is the most basic tumbling skill. After the athlete masters the basics of tumbling the skills become more difficult. Two of the most difficult tumbling skills for the athlete to achieve are the standing back tuck…

Cheerleading ¨ What are you afraid of? Dropping a stunt? Not throwing tumbling? Forgetting a part of the routine? Your bow falling out? Use fear as motivation. Because it only makes you stronger.¨ -unknown. During the first cheerleading practice of my sophomore year, I had fallen from a stunt, dislocated my elbow and tore ligaments. I went to physical therapy for a few weeks and was eventually released for cheerleading camp. I was allowed to fly and do the motions. I wasn't allowed to tumble…

my family moved four times and we eventually ended up here in Tennessee. The hardest decision I had to determine on was giving up gymnastics due to the hour drive one way to the closest gym and me starting high school.

trampoline and tumbling for seven years! Trampoline and tumbling is similar to gymnastics, however, the events were different. The events for trampoline and tumbling are trampoline, rod floor, as well as the double mini. Rod floor is about the width of a bed, and the length of at least 500 feet. In the middle of the floor is a straight line that you are required to stay on. A double mini is similar to vault however, rather than leather, it is a trampoline. I performed best on tumbling, then the…

jeb Taylor The manufactured trampoline, as we know it today, was created by two men, George Nissen and Larry Griswold. Around 1935, Griswold, then the assistant gymnastics coach at the University of Iowa, and Nissen, a tumbler on the University of Iowa gymnastics team, "made regular jaunts to Bloomington, Illinois where numerous circus people had their winter homes. Among them were the "Flying Wards", some of the finest trapeze performers in the world. Griswold and Nissen worked out with them…

fall down, I will always get back up. When I was just three years old, I began taking tumbling classes. My sister, who is seven years older than me, had been in tumbling classes for what seemed my whole life. I walked into Audrey Rocke´s basement, otherwise known as Countryside Tumbling, eager to show off the cart-wheels I had been doing around the house. However, walking into the basement of Countryside Tumbling, I had no idea a person I met that day would make an impact on me for…

gymnasium seemed to have drastically increased within the last few seconds and as the music started, I took a deep breath in attempt to relax myself. I was now in the spotlight, with more than a thousand of my peers watching me. As I completed my first tumbling pass, a roundoff back-handspring back tuck, a jolt of energy rushed though my body, and at this very point my confidence not only in myself, but also in my team grew sky high, as I said to myself, “We’ve got this!” For as long as I can…

One of the most controversial subjects among sports fans is whether cheerleading is a sport or not. Many people say cheerleading is a sport, when others say cheerleading is just an activity. When people think of cheerleaders, they think of preppy girls cheering for a sport they know nothing about. They think cheerleaders do not put in work, and they just stand on the sidelines to look pretty. In reality, cheerleaders have to know what is going on during the game at all times. Many people…

The Physics of Cheerleading The sport I chose to do my essay on was cheerleading, because of the physics shown all throughout the sport. There are stunts, tumbling, and jumps. Cheerleading is a sport that involves all these tasks and much more. Cheerleading consists of many concepts of physics, such as Gravity, Newton Laws of Motion, momentum, torque, potential and kinetic energy, velocity, force, gravitational acceleration, free fall. I will explain the definitions of each concept, so readers…
