CHEERLEADING
1, 2, 3, 4, toss her in the air 5, 6 catch her 7 and 8.
My coach shouted at us. You see i am a level 1 senior
Cheerleader. I know i know you might think that cheerleading is all about pom poms and bows. But it is definitely not. I don't think i have ever touched a pom pom before! Cheerleading is hard work. So much sweat and tears go into a minute routine . A routine that is going to win us first place and grand champions.
My team has to train two times a week. Tuesday for two hours and Thursday for two hours and thirty minutes. we start practice by doing something called conditioning.conditioning helps us strengthen our body's and warms us up. (sometimes it is pretty painful). We do things like push ups, candlesticks, ABS, lunges and squats, calf raises, supermans and firehidreants. We do foughty of each.
Then we stretch. We stretch our flyers which is someone who is aup in the air while their bases are holding them up by their FEET!!! I myself am a base.
When it comes to competition time everyone is excited covered in makeup and their hair is as hard as a rock with all of the gel and hairspray. But when we get on that competition floor nothing else matters. So now you know that cheerleading is not about pom poms and bows.
