Cheer Pet Peeves?

[JodyY]

People who complain about something hurting all the time and using it as an excuse for not hitting a stunt.

 

[JJH Cheer]

Broken wrists and fearful flyers.

 

[cheermuse]

Coaches who have no sense of Time Management
Whiney cheer parents
Lazy flyers

one of those days today!

 

[Peanapple]

people that save 20 seats that only get sat in for 5 minutes all day

Yes! Drives me crazy....I understand if your going to be in and out a lot, but don't take up huge sections of good seats at comps just to hold your stuff!

My number one pet peeve is when people switch gyms or decide to take the season off AFTER choreography. It's so unfair to those who have been working so hard!

What are some of your cheer pet peeves?
Here are mine...

-When flyers aren't felxible enough to hold the bottom of their foot on a heelstretch, but instead hold their ankle.
-Jumps that have flexed feet and land their legs a mile wide apart.
-Slow tumblers.
-Walking into a competition arena and teams are walking around in their spankys and sports bra.
-Slow award ceremonies.
-Sloppy hair and makeup looks like its been thrown on at the last second.
-When flyers stick their elbows out on full downs/double downs.
-Bad and slow music.
-Not being ready (hair down, makeup not on, uniform off) when you get to the arena.
-Cowboyed out back tucks.
-Girls walking around with their uniform unzipped and skirts unbuttoned after the routine.
-Inconsiderate teams that walk infront of you in the middle of watching someones routine.
-Teams that take forever to get off the warm up mat.


Anyone else have pet peeves that are cheer related?

Not pointing your toes!

Moms are the worst! They take it more serious than some of the kids sometimes..

I agree

I'll admit it took me some time to be able to do it right, but I found you just have to let go of what you think is a breaking point.

-
- when people do their hair differently than everyone else (because we had a certain hair for each team for comps) and stick out.
- people who think they can keep their piercings in for practice and/or comps.

Basically I think anyone who does something that disrupts the uniform flow of the the team is a pet peeve of mine.

I'll also add anytime someones holding you and start wobbling. Thats very disturbing.

When we do half up half down hair for high school cheer and a couple girls do poofs... It's not the same thing

(I'm in hs cheer so mine might be a little different)
*when my team mates critisize my jumps and tell me what to fix when that's what I was working on before they butted in...
*when one team is taking up all the mirros in the bathroom and all I wanted to do was check my hair real quick and wash my hands
*when other teams don't clap for another school and make rude comments and laugh about their routine while/after they preform
*when people don't take pratice seriously and goof off the whole time...how can we get anything done when you're messing around?
*when people are late to practice

I don't know if this counts but my pet peeve is that worlds only has four (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) divisions that non-US teams can compete in.

Non-US teams can compete in every division at worlds.
