Author’s note: Cheerleading is not
a simple sport, there are a lot of techniques you must have. Focused, stiff and
prepared, for what may happen next.
You may think that cheerleading is
not a sport, maybe not for a football game cheering for your team. When you are
going into the big leagues, that is when cheer is a sport. Flying around in all
different stunts, such as elevators, extensions, basket tosses, there are so
many different ways to use the smallest girls on the cheer team, you tell me that isn't a sport.
Competitions are just a thrill to be in and to
be at. Personally I have never been in a competition yet, But I cannot wait
till I am in one. For being in a competition you have to work your best and be
stiff as a rock. From what I have heard that the judges are very strict; for
instants falling is just one of the worst points you can possibly go down in,
or losing your smile.
When you are cheerleading you must have great collaboration, be loud and just work as a team. It is not the
football or basketball kind of team, it is a team that you have to listen to
each other and help others. We are all connected in cheer, such as if the back
is not stronger enough then the bases are getting weak, were they are losing
their balance, and when the bases cannot
hold up anymore then the stunt cannot be successful .
Flying is the hard part, you’re up
so high in the air you just cannot look down. Strong legs is a nice thing to
have and being able to hold yourself up is once again another. You really cannot think about a lot just look
straight ahead and you will stay standing, well most likely.
Some simple rules and techniques in
cheerleading. Football one thing, competition is another. Maybe this might make you think differently,
or you may not. Stunting, the most difficult part. Cheering, you just need to
remember every word and action in the cheer.
Cheer may not be a sport but we will have competitions and rivals.
