Well, competitions have started, and I want to know what do you guys think are the necessities to bring to a cheer competition, what odd things (maybe for good luck) you keep in competition bags, and just whatever you keep in there that you always seem to use. :)
i think if it bothers you that much, you should talk to a coach. if shes fine with being on a level 1 team, i wouldnt get mad over it. sometimes if the coaches dont think the athletes are mature enough or capable of stunting for the next level up, they will keep them on the same level for a...
even if i was injured i would still atleast go in and sit somewhere and be with your team. it would kill me to have to miss any practice. if you are extremely devoted, you shouldnt miss practices, atleast be there. :)
close your eyes and picture yourself doing it perfectly. usually how i got mental blocks is by thinking too much before i throw it, so just give yourself a set of motions to do before you go so you cant think too much and just go. hope it helped :)
Oh my gosh I love this one so much. I have been looking through all of these picture so far and have been like 'eh', but when I came across yours it just stood out! :)
Thanks! Well, surprisingly my layouts are actually pretty straight, and not really piked. But for some reason I just feel like I can't tuck. All of these comments are really going to help me, so thank you for your help!
Well, it's sort of like a combined tumbling practice for that overlapped time. The teams come together and cross tumble. But after we get our routines I don't know how it's going to work out! Haha :)
Be confident! If you don't want to stick out (and you probably don't but I'm giving you advice anyways), it would be good to stretch your back and splits and just do some extra jumps outside! :) haha if you stretch everyday, you will get better! :)
hahaha in public I sing to cheer music like Cheer Extreme se and F5, and people have given me weird looks. Because I even say the sound effects like "ding ding!" haha. And when I am on the bus for school I try to show my non cheer friends my routine and since i'm sitting down, they cant see my...
I agree with OAcheerleader ! My gym is a smaller gym, but we are pretty good (imho) and the WHOLE gym is a family! The coaches listen to the athletes and all the cheerleaders bond!
usually when I bend them too far. But when I only bend them for a second or so, like in a tuck, it doesn't hurt. I think I am psyching myself out! :/ haha. but also especially if I land straight on my knees (mainly my left one though) when they're bent, that hurts like CRAZY!
I have my roundoff tuck, ro hs tuck, and my layout (all he does is stand there), but they all three look the same because I don't tuck! And I have gotten better but it literally looks like I am trying to do a layout when I am doing a tuck. :( And I need help! I have osgood schlatters in my left...
sometimes, if you do it to old cheer music, and if you play the music loud enough, you won't be able to really hear yourself think, "I can't do it" and you just sort of, do it! haha. Well that worked for me. But I don't have a full, it was on a different tumbling skill. But I hope that helps! Or...
