I have been thinking a lot about this and this is my take:
I feel alot of people are upset/dissapointed/ angry with Simone because of a mentality that a lot of sport/life has is that you do it for the team.
The way I see it is that people think that because you are part of the team you do...
Im in England working for the NHS and it is crazy . Medical and nursing staff are being redeployed to ICU.
student nurses asked to do paid placments
In the UK nurses are licensed to work within their field e.g im a RN child therefore normally only look after patients up to 18yrs but now...
Been out of cheer for quite a while but as far as I know FAME has a london branch but cheer is exploding mainly as more gyms are getting their own gyms which 5 years ago i think maybe 1 had their own gyms now its alot more and we are starting to get more results abroad.
Very happy for both team England premier teams moving to finals. Also glad to see Wales advance in coed elite
I didn't see much this year and hoping to see more tomorrow but I will say the standard is insane compared to it was 6 years ago and really nice to see in the premier division that you...
I have never been at the level for worlds but when I cheered especially university cheer we 1 week prior to a comp no drinking so no one would be a practice hungover or still drunk from the night before.
On allstar on a senior team mixed with adults and teens we knew our expectation.
I never...
Before I believe this I would like to see it from USASF either posted on the website or tweeted by them.
I dont have an issue as such but what for whatever reason you are over 21 and are finished competing on day 1 and will not take the matt does that mean you cannot drink any alcohol at all...
Bear in mind that there are other gyms around there that could cater to boys better. I am lead to belive as I no longer cheer that there are only a small amount and believe or not tend to be older and are snatched up by other programs
One opinion that I have coming from the UK is that not having any concessions at worlds and competitng with the best teams has pushed the standard of cheer at all levels to a point where some teams are level with US teams in terms of difficulty and execution.
To put in perspective
4 years age...
I have been following UCLA for the past couple of years and the team this year was just so strong. Im also so happy Peng got to win a championship and score two 10 for the end of her 6 year collegiate career
This is a state school in the UK. In the uk most schools don't have a number of unexcused absences. In this case the rule for going to prom is that they must have 100% attendance unless the absence is excused. The school is only allowing one trip to worlds in a school career. The pupils affected...
When I was in cheer to get that teased look we would buy a hair dohnut depening on the size either cut it in half of quarters like a pizza. then take a section place by the pony pin it in, and then lay the hair over it. some would slightly tease it but it really did work. For big height by the...
I hate that sports including cheer are just pricing everyone out. In the UK just three years ago as long as worked hard in practice and went to an inclusive tumbling class it was fine. There were no privates offered at most gyms. Uniforms were cheap and apparel was normally a couple of t-shirts...
When I started cheer in 2013-2014 uniforms in the UK were around £65-90 the next year you were paying £90-120. Now we have rebel and varsity the cheapest uniform for junior up is £145 going up to £200. It is ridculous the cost rise in just 3 years. I was considering coming back to cheer this...
I have never been a flyer but have been thinking maybe resistance bands? So they can work on stretching but have some resistance to help with strength of holding stretch. You can get these gym balls but they are cut in half and have a platform for balance would be great for general core work...
The youngest so far who has been killed by the Manchester bombing was 8 years old. 8 what sick people do this.
I will say thought h=that communities are really pulling out the stops
