Commentary piece
Cheerleading
is a tough sport
Most
people think to be a cheerleader you go to football games, you're pretty,
popular, wanting attention, and the list goes on. In reality that's not the
truth at all, you have to be mentally and physically ready just like any other
sport. There is competitive cheer and high school cheer teams and both are very
stressful to be in.
Anyone
in cheer will tell you that you have to be willing to give up your life to stay
committed to this sport. You have practices everyday after school for high
school cheer and three or more practices with competitive cheer plus
competitions almost every weekend. Homework is also hard to do because I would
stay up until 12:00-1:00 every
night
trying to finish and I still don't get the grades I want. The car rides for
competitions is the only time you have for your homework.
What
is the actual definition of a sport? A sport is an activity involving physical
exertion and skill which an individual or team competes against another or
others for entertainment. I do think cheer is definitely a sport while others
may disagree. Others will say “it’s not a sport because of the inability to
compete against an opponent. It is solely dedicated to entertain and motivate
the crowd during sports events.” That’s only half of cheer, they don’t know the
competitive side of it.
Cheer
is very competitive and at competitions you will always see teams lose by .01
and that feeling sucks because it’s happened to me before. Other sports will
lose by 7 or more points while cheer will lose by point something. You put all
the hard work to lose by a pointed toe or a wrong motion.
There
is also reported the most injuries than any other sport, why is this? We throw
girls in the air and we flip our body all other the place. One wrong grip or
wrong move and you can be seriously injured.
Full
outs will always be the death of a cheerleader. A full out is doing your whole
routine from beginning to end and giving it your all. Even though they are only
2 minutes and 30 seconds, that feels like the longest 2 minutes and 30 seconds
of your life. You are out of breath and you feel like jello after wards. And if
you don’t do good you do full outs back to back and girls will eventually throw
up.
If
someone gets hurt in cheer there are no replacements like football or baseball.
If you get hurt, you better push through and finish the full outs. There is
also no halftime meaning we don’t get any breaks not one. Water breaks are only
1 minute if you get lucky. You are constantly doing something from the start of
practice until the end and you never know when it’s going to end because coaches
will keep you until however long they want.
Conditioning.
Yes even cheerleader’s condition, probably more than any other sport. We have practices
just for conditioning and you don’t want to miss those practices because next
time you won’t be able to walk. You need to have a big amount of cardio and
endurance to finish each routine.
