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.

Also, Allison Shenaik was not interested in the pairing system because she loved all the kids and didn’t want to choose favorites. The kids in PS 115 were bent on winning the competition and so were very serious with the rehearsal where PS 150 was just in to have fun and represent their school no matter the level they reach in the competition. In clothing, PS 150 was not uniform because each of them was wearing what he or she brought from home whereas PS 115 went on shopping to buy a
There is not one set definition of a sport, but a common understood definition of a sport is one from dictionary.com that defines a sport as “an athletic activity that requires physical prowess or skill and often a competitive nature.” I will take aspects of cheerleading and compare it to the definition given. The first part of the definition of a sport states, “An athletic activity that requires physical prowess and skill.” I don’t know how many people watching a cheerleading routine are paying attention to details and not just their looks, but it is a complicated two and a half minute routine. It takes a lot of skill and strength to lift a 120 pound girl into the air while she performs tricks. The skills you need to be a good cheerleader do not come naturally. You need to have talent, and practice hard to perfect these extremely difficult tasks.

It came to my attention that during tryouts coach did not make an effort to get to know any of the returning players and would make remarks to our past season and coaching techniques. I took offense to the fact that she did not believe that we were good volleyball players because of our 2010 record. Also, a girl who has mono, is allowed to try out this week. One thing that the coach stressed was how she was going to do this fairly and so I don’t believe that that is
According to Blake, they've created a new sport all together that combines a unique skill set that is used in both competitive cheer and gymnastics and puts it in a completely different format. Blake goes on to say that there are minimal cheer scholarships out there and 500 thousand plus athletes in both gymnastics and cheer across the country. The 6 universities that are currently involved in "Acrobatics and Tumbling" have the opportunity to open up this new sport to these young athletes and be recognized at the collegiate level. USA cheer's model called STUNT, is also a competitive team sport, separate from cheerleading. As per Bill Seely, it's Executive Director, STUNT removes crowd-leading and focuses mostly on the technical and athletic components of cheer, which include the partner
More Than a Short Skirt More often than not, cheerleading is not considered to be a sport. Many people assume that cheerleading is just prancing around in a short skirt and cheering ballgames. This is not the case with competition cheerleading. By definition, a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. It must be a physical activity, which involves propelling a mass through space or overcoming the resistance of mass.
The children themselves are judged on how well they perform, their looks, and also their confidence, or how confident they may seem. Contestants spend no more than two hours and even sometimes less in a competition and only spend a total of 90 seconds on stage. The children compete to win different prizes, prizes that include toys, cash, scholarships and trophies. Reasons that parents normally use for entering their children into these competitions, are ones that say that their children gain confidence from the experience. Also parents say it will boost their self- esteem, also teaching them poise, public speaking skills and good manners.
The Effects of Being an Athlete In 2012, Misty May Treanor and Kerri Walsh won a gold medal in the Olympic Games in London. However, they did not get there by deciding to play pick up matches on the beach the year before. Misty, now age 36, began as a little girl, playing in her first tournament at the age of eight. Later, she went on to compete on her high school’s indoor volleyball team and track team. Every Olympian had to start somewhere, and more often than not it was in high school.
