Spirited Fun


I personally think that cheer leading is a really fun thing to do. It helps you to make a lot of new friends, and gives you responsibilities. What I mean by responsibilities is, you have to always make sure the people in the stunt groups are safe, you have to be at practice on time, & you MUST give it your all every time. Learning new cheers can be frustrating. I know when I tried to learn new cheers for the first time, it literally took me forever! Cheer leading is honestly a memorization skill, no lie. You have to remember cheers, counts, positions, formations, an placements. Along with memorizing all the different types of jumps, their counts, preps, & landings. After you get used to it, it becomes a lot more simple....which then makes it even more fun. Along with having fun, it also helps to keep you in shape. The warm ups, drills, and conditioning all helps to keep y0u fit and builds up muscles. I don't do cheer anymore because when I was on cheer I honestly loved it, but the gymnastics was a downfall for me. I could do the skills, and I had them.. but I was just to afraid to pursue them independently. Like I said it is a lot of fun you just have to be careful when doing this particular sport, be careful doing any sport.
