Have you ever been told not to judge something or someone unless you’ve been in that spot or their position? Many people believe cheerleading is not a sport. You cannot judge something if you have never done it or experienced it. I am a cheerleader myself and I believe with cheerleading you don’t know how tough it is until you actually do it. People always judge and make fun of cheerleaders saying it’s not a real sport but cheerleaders practice just as hard as any other sport, go to competitions and compete to be the best and win number one.
Let’s face it, some kids are just better than others. When you bring a group of kids together to play a sport that requires skill, there are bound to be players that are exemplary, and in the wonderful world of sports we play to win. It’s really as simple as that. If Muscular Michael is faster, stronger, and/or tries harder than Little Luke, it only makes sense that Michael should play more than Luke does. People may argue that some players perform better under pressure however anxiety causes stress and not only will the coach be upset if one player costs them a game, but the team will be frustrated as well.
Being a captain, you are not chosen to do all the work; you are given the privilege to lead the squad. By receiving these privileges as captain I know that they are tasks that need to be done for my squad to help them be better cheerleaders, therefore I would not be bothered or frustrated by having to do these tasks.

I know that with my hard work, responsibility and leadership skills, along with my passion for cheer I know failure will not be an option. I cannot imagine a year without me as captain, can
When holding the top girl, the bases are restating her body weight and mass, to keep her up. Also, during dismounts from stunts, top girls are thrown into the air and caught by the bases. Competitive cheerleaders do exactly what they are called. They compete against other squads to see who is the best. They perform routines full of stunting, tumbling, cheering, and dancing.
They need to jump high, spin fast, and balance steadily, which extra weight makes more difficult. In response to these attributes, ballerinas recognize that being smaller gives them an edge over other dancers. This is where the trouble begins in the ballet community. The origin of the Balanchine body image dates back to the 1930s, when George Balanchine came to America with his idea of an ideal body type for the female ballerina. Balanchine was a
This act of coming so close to an enemy but not hurting or killing them with just a touch of your hand or a stick; even though you could have killed them before they knew what happened. This act alone was viewed as braver than taking a human scalp, horse or prize, because the act was so bold and dangerous. SuAnne used her skills of coup to subdue the crowds taunting and rude remarks by having them watch her as she preformed her traditional dance that she had perfected with practice as a young child. Once SuAnne began to dance using her own jacket to simulate a shawl, she began to win the crowd over. As they watch they began to see the beauty of an actual authentic Indian
There are side-line cheerleaders and competitive cheerleaders. Side-line cheerleaders are there to entertain the crowd and lead them in chants. A competitive cheerleading team’s goal is to earn the most points while doing a complex routine with anywhere from twelve to twenty members that consists of precise formations, flips, tumbling passes, stunts, and tosses. I do not agree that side-line cheerleading is a sport; however, I do believe that competitive cheerleading is a sport.

5...6…7…8…1…2… Sport…Activity? When it comes to people’s opinions of the two sometimes they overlook some activities that people consider sports and others not.

According to Dictionary.com a Sport is an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of competitive nature.

When it comes to sports teams, they should act just as professionally as anyone else. In fact, they should act more professionally than others for the simple fact they have more youngsters looking up to them as role models. Unfortunately, many players do not act appropriately, and this does not help future generations. * Athletes should be mentors for how they play the sport, but, they should not be role models. Role models can be mentors but they can't really be role models can they?
