Cheerleading Podcast

listen to this podcast!:)

Compitions are fun, but sometimes discuriging, because you work hard on your rutine for about 6 months, then if you loose you know all your work wasnt good enough. but when we loose, we all take it as a team. cheerleading isn't like wrestling, your in it as a team, and when something happens, its the teams fault. not a single person. So cheerleading isn't as easy as it looks.

Awesome Cheerleading Stunts

These stunts are all one man.The girl being thrown, is the flyer. and the boy holding her, is the base. usually there is atleast three people holding the flyer, but in this case there is one, thats why its called a one man.In my opinion,stunting is the hardest part of cheerleading, because you really have to work together, and  the flyer needs to trust the bases.

Sometimes cheerleaders are known to be snobby, but in my school it’s not like the movies. You should cheerlead because you like it, not because you want to be popular. Cheerleading outfits are usually skirts, and the shirt says your team, or school name. Cheerleading makeup is usually worn during competitions. And the day before a competition, you wear your uniform top for support, or good luck. Whatever you believe.

Why People Stereotype
Most people probably stereotype because they don't know the truth and it's easier to put everyone in their own little niche. It is common for people to judge other people, but what is dangerous is when it's done without fully understanding or knowing something or someone. What is even more dangerous is when it is done in a negative fashion.
Take for instance a school Cheerleading squad. The members spend a lot of time together, they practice after school many days a week, they attend games together and they might even go to competitions. They share their love of Cheerleading and their goals are similiar. The squad has become their second family, the members are their friends. It would be natural for them to want to hang out together at school, lunch and breaks. But if someone were to see them as a group talking, would they think they are snobs or unsocialable to others? Perhaps and this is where the misunderstandings stem from. Things can look different depending on where you're standing. http://www.ask.com/web?q=are+cheerleaders+snobs&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir

Welcome to My Blog

I’m Ashley, and I’m in eighth grade. I enjoy the summertime, and love to laugh. I love to spend time with my friends and family. I also love to go shopping, and buy new clothes,go to the beach, and camp. I also enjoy being on the computer. My favorite color is pink.

For a sport, I cheerlead. Yes, I called it a sport. I don’t just sit there and cheer for the players, I compete. It’s a lot of work, but it pays off. In a routine, there is a dance, jumps, a cheer, stunts, and tumbling. Not only do you need to remember your spot, you need to lift people, and do flips. And on top of that, you need to sell the routine. (Smile and make faces the whole time). In this blog, I will be talking about competing, cheerleading outfits, ect.
