Hello everyone! Being underneath college pyramids as a shoulder stand rips my shoulders apart. I haven't found any good hacks on how to protect and/or heal this problem in my time cheering yet and thought this would be a good place to ask. I've tried bandages, Neosporin-type ointment, gauze...
Yeah, there's so much going on! There are also so many cords trying to make my stunts fall, I swear. I can't wait for the moment when it clicks and it gets easier lol!
How come no one told me how stressful games are? I just cheered my first game last Thursday and there is so much yelling going on, random band cues that I missed nearly every time, and you can't even see the game with all the media in the way. Lol does it get easier?
We actually had our first three days of recruitment this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and our philanthropy round is tomorrow night, preference round Saturday morning, and bid day Saturday night! They probably had the break in there for the start of classes. I'll keep you updated! Since my...
I think it totally depends on which girls you speak to, as well. Today I actually got put with someone from the sorority who is on my cheer team for house tours which was a better experience!
Thanks for the replies. I'm still going to finish the week! I guess I should've known I was rushing with a slight disadvantage before I went in. I just wasn't prepared for that. But I'll hope for the best, keep an open mind, and see what happens. It's just a lot to be making a lifelong...
Hey guys, I remember reading this thread so long ago because I've always wanted to be a part of greek life! Maybe some of you have some insight to my rush experience right now and can help me. I just transferred to a big university so, of course, I decided to rush. I'm in my third year of...
Shin splints are the worst! When I was training for my half marathon I started to get them really bad in the first few weeks of training, but I found an exercise that worked for me that helped prevent them. Sit in a pike and flex your toes as hard as you can and then point your toes are hard as...
Hey, sorry for the late response, but I'm built similarly to you so I thought I should try to help. For me the only way I'm getting over and on my feet is a strong hip pull. Your set and head position are great, but driving your knees over your forehead, creating that hip rise will help a lot...
Worlds needed to have higher quantities of apparel I think. They were running out of sizes before the competition even started! I feel like almost everyone is an adult small, so why wouldn't you heavily stock that size? I wonder how teams who made it to finals were supposed to get a finals shirt...
This was my first, and last (unless OO5 wants me or something), time attending Worlds as an athlete and Worlds was all it was talked up to be and more. The sportsmanship shown between teams reminded me of the bigger picture of why we all cheer. I got to bond with my team on a new level and meet...
