Share Your Story: Why Do You Want to Be a Cheerleader?

From Alexis

Why I want to be a cheerleader.

What being a cheerleader means to me is showing your pride and devotion to something that means a lot to you most people think being is cheerleader is being popular and preppy but its not most girls on my squad aren't preppy we are just normal girls living a normal life we just so happen to be good at cheerleading that's all.

Lessons I've learned from cheerleading

Cheerleading has taught me to have trust in people and to believe people will be there for me no matter what. My cheerleading squad is like my 2nd family i can always got o them for anything if I'm having a problem. Before I was a cheerleader I was a loner I never really knew I was good at it until I tried out but now I have a ton of friends I don't know what to do with I love cheerleading it's my life

Advice

  • Work Hard
  • Be Devoted
  • Don't mess up on your cheers
  • Be on time to your practice all the time no matter what
  • Don't start a fight with your team members because 12 girls outnumber 1 girl
  • Make your facial expressions cute and worth it
  • Don't make the coach feel like she made a mistake choosing you.
  • Well that's all i have to say on advice.
