cheerleading

Cheerleading is, in many peoples opinions, one of the most dificult sports in the world. No I am not reffering to those cheerleaders standing along the sidelines on friday nights screaming pointless cheers, and most usually making fools of themselves in front of the entire student body. I am talking about competition cheerleading. This type of cheerleading is a whole new world of cheerleading. Girls (or even guys) who participate in this know it is extremely physically demanding. They have a very strenuous routine to go out and do perfectly for two and a half minutes with a large amount of judges sit and watch for what they do wrong. It is extremely stressful.

There are a variety of different elements that go into a competition routine. Each individual cheerleader must stunt, tumble, dance, cheer, jump, and never let the crowd know they are exhausted in the process. Though they may run off the floor and puke into a trash can right when they are finished, while they are competing the cheerleader must act as if they are having the time of their life.

Cheerleaders practice all year around. There is no off season for them. They also don't have a chance to prove themselves over and over again by playing different teams each week. All their hours of practice are put to use at one big competition each year to see if they really are the best.

So next time you think of a cheerleader as just one of those bitchy popular girls, remember they are working their ass off at practice while you are sitting around bashing them on urban dictionary. Sweet life.

Lisa- Hey how long was cheerleading practice yesterday?
Judy- Oh it was from 2 to 5, but we finally go the second stunt to stick everytime, and the dance is finally together.
Lisa- Awesome you guys ready for nationals?
Judy- Well I sure hope so. All this work for nothing? That would be so depressing.
Lisa- I'm sure you guys will place.
