Give Us Some Background on Yourself
I'm a 14 year-old freshmen. I first tried out for school cheer in 7th grade. I made 2 of the 3 squads, football and basketball. When I tried out for my 8th grade year, I didn't make it. I tried out again for my high school squad and made one of the squads, wrestling. The season is over now and I'm ready to try out again!!!
What Happened?
In 7th grade, I was cheering for basketball. There were 2 different games going on in 2 different gyms. The gym I was in had a break, so I went to go cheer in the other one while I was waiting for the break to be over. After a couple minutes in the other gym, we started doing a crowd cheer, and after we were done, we were spiriting and jumping. I did a toe touch, and for some reason, I didn't land on my feet. I landed right on my butt in front of the crowd!!
Advice
- I wasn't embarrassed, fortunately. I laughed it off, even though the 2 or 3 high school boys in the front row were laughing at me. I walked out of that gym and went to the original gym I was in. I ended up irritating my wrist from that fall.
- For others who had the same thing happen to them, try and do what I did. Laugh it off, no one will probably remember, or not know it was you that fell.
