That cheerleading isn’t all fun and games. It may look easy but it’s nowhere close to that. There are so many things you have to remember from all the different kind of jumps to what move goes on what count. Getting up after getting knocked out and acting like nothing ever happened. Cheerleading in my opinion is probably one of the closest teams out there. Every girl on that team is there for each other no matter if we aren’t best friends outside of cheerleading. We fight through the tears, injuries, and drama together no girl gets left out. We all love each other like sister and treat one another just like that. If you mess with one of us you’re going to have the entire team right behind her taking her side no matter what or who is on the other side. But through all the drama we make it through the day. If there’s a problem that happened at school or during the day it better be dropped before you step foot onto that field. There’s no room for negativity or put downs needed at practice that happened hours before. We work our butts off to make everything perfect and when that stunt falls or we mess up we keep that big smile on our face and keep going no matter how we are really feeling inside. On Friday night we give it our all no matter how our boys are playing or what the score is. We are out there to support our football players every step of the way and get the crowd pumped up to help them lead to victory. We push each other to our limits and sometimes even over, we don’t do this to be mean or hurt each other but because we know what we are capable of and we better be reaching that. We encourage each other to try new things and give it our all because at the end of practice we are a family and that’s all that matters.
These pictures show how hard we work to get where we want, but then we can have a little fun after we hit it.
Cheer as hard as you can, be the best you can at what you do because remember if you don't think you're good there's always a little girl looking up to you thinking she wants to be like you." Author Michelle, Bulls Gap, TN, USA
I like your blog and how you described how tough cheerleading can be. I totally agree that cheerleaders always have to stay positive and sometimes that's hard to do especially if you're having a bad day.
ReplyDeleteTaylor, i really liked your post. It kind of reminded me of something that I'd write. I understand where your coming from and in terms of bonding cheerleading and soccer are a lot alike. I enjoyed this post and look forward to reading more from you.
