Cheer Mat Reflection
I am 100% content on my cheer mat. The cheer mat has created so many memories for me. After being on this mat everyday for 5 years, I always know there is a place to come to when things aren’t going so well for me. This mat has made me endure everything from pain to complete and utter joy. Being part of a team that I know I can count is the best thing I’ve ever known. Throughout the five years of being together, we’ve accomplished a lot more than people thought we would. In the beginning we were very ammature, but we did have what looked like potential. As the years continued to go on, we were 6 points away from going to regionals. As this year continues, our ultimate goal is to make it to regionals, or even farther. When I step on the mat,

    Cheer is not just a sport. It is intense physical activity with a purpose- to serve as a motivation for the team. Taking two full sport seasons, the dedication and energy required from these young cheerleaders is unbelievable. For up to 2 1/2 hours a day, they work together to achieve their goal: perfect routines to make the Hilltop Football and Basketball teams engulf in victories. These devoted cheerleaders spent 3 days at Cheer Camp and one day at the District Camp, where they expanded their knowledge and creativity for our school. However, these days spent were not for competition, but for learning from each other. Still, their natural competitive nature filled their minds and actions, self-motivating them to execute their best efforts…

    I walked into the doors of Statehouse Expo Center, my feet walking with the sound of my bag rolling over the little cracks on the light floor tile, my white uniform as crisp as a fall breeze. With every step further, I could see more people. Lots more people. The mats filled with people. People who spend their whole lives working to be where they are, on those mats. Sparring, combat, weapons and forms. XMA in one corner, Black Belts in another corner, everyone else in a corner and staging in a corner. All surrounded by a Sr. Master or the occasional Master. When we get to a tournament, our team always meets up. Then all the kids go explore. We found our team and all the kids put away their IPads and Kindle Fires.…

    Commitment is key to success in anything in life, no matter the activity involved. There are many activities for students to become involved in, some of which are sports. At my high school, the wrestling team has a special club for only the most committed wrestlers. Our coach calls this club the stud club, it encompases the ten wrestlers who show a desire to be something great. . After becoming part of the club, the ten wrestlers are given a shirt with a special logo on the front to wear as a badge of honor. I have had the luxury of being in the stud club for the past three years of my high school career. While it may not be an astounding accomplishment to anyone who isn’t a Fairmont wrestler, it’s a tremendous feat for one of us.…

    This is my second year on the Peabody Magnet High Soccer team, and I was even awarded the Coach’s award for playing midfield and made honorably mention in my district ranking. I also am the Co-Captain of the Peabody Flag line. Being on the soccer and flag teams taught me that hard work really pays off and really forced me to challenge myself. When the flag line first started, we did not have a coach or experience. Although we taught ourselves our own routines, techniques and twirls; we placed and won a 3rd place trophy in our first battle of the bands competition. It was the smallest trophy there, but it meant more to me than any big one could. It just proved to me again that if I put my mind to something I could accomplish…

    There have been arguments proposed that the sport of cheerleading is too dangerous for the human body and can be hazardous to your health. “All injuries resulted from direct trauma, 15 injuries were classified as nonfatal, resulting in permanent disability, 12 were serious and 2 were fatal. Activities most commonly associated with injury were, in order pyramid stunts, basket tosses and advanced gymnastics stunts.” (Shrier 2004) If taken into precaution, cheerleading can be beneficial to your body and can actually help you engage in physical activity and strengthen all parts of your body. There has been severe injuries following cheer, but at the same time the experience of being able to change your body in the right way is remarkable. In…

    As a cheerleader, I took part in a high energy and enthusiasm activity, yet I craved more. “More” just so happened to be flag football. The summer before I entered the first grade I asked my parents if I could make the transition. My request was met with emotions including concern, intrigue, but most of all, support. My parents were not going to dissuade me from participating in any hobby, especially one I seemed so interested in pursuing. I showed up to the first practice with my curly, blonde hair pulled back in a tight ponytail. I was enthusiastic to learn and participate in the sport over which my whole family went ballistic each Sunday night in the dead of winter. Upon my much awaited arrival, the coach's wife asked what number I wanted to have on the back of my extra-small jersey. I thought ‘one’ was the…

    It is thought that cheerleaders are superficial and only care about looks and popularity, when in fact; there are countless hours that go into the preparation of an awesome routine practice of a highly competitive squad that is known for their abilities. Conditioning is what makes a team the best they can be. After a while, cheerleaders feel that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. Cheerleading has developed into a thriving activity, with determined athletes, demanding practice hours, and astounding bravery. Most people still do not give it the credit it deserves in the world of sports. In the past 20 years, the activity has developed into a worldwide, athletic phenomenon with competitive events at all age groups throughout the nation. It is growing fast here and gaining popularity outside the United States. "It 's been phenomenal. Better than I ever expected, within five years, this is going to be the norm just because it makes sense,” says head coach at University of Maryland, Lura…

    Even though it sounds pretty corny and cliche, the team next year is going to be nowhere near the same without you. You’re always so supportive of each and every single girl on the team and I know that everybody can trust you the most with any problem that they have, whether it be on the cheer time or their personal life. You’re always there for the team, helping out in any way possible, whether it be fixing a whole pyramid with counts five minutes before halftime or by being a representative for our team at every orientation or school event. You represent exactly what a cheerleader should be, always showing school spirit, always trying to encourage the team to be friends with one another, showing enthusiasm during sidelines and spiriting instead of just waiting for halftime, and always expressing a kind charisma no matter what is going on in your personal life.…

    after all of the hard work and energy I placed into cheer we didn't win… We didn't even place. Done with getting below standard grades and having a constant lack of sleep, I quit cheer for my Junior year only helping out with the football girls occasionally. When Senior year rolled around the football cheerleaders didn't have anyone to help them lead practices and learn dances so I would spend all of my free time with them, while at the same time going to cross country practice and running races every Saturday and then running over to the football field to cheer for a whole game. That was exhausting, but I was a senior so I wanted to have the best senior year possible. Basketball cheer came around and it was basically a repeat of sophomore year except we tried harder and focused more, we pulled through! We took regionals by a storm by getting the title of regionals champs and then went to state with confidence. We performed our dance did our cheer and hoped for the best… We got state champions! Oh but thats not it, we got grand champions. That basically means we won all of the devisions of cheer, and those are 1A, 2A, 3A (thats us), and 4A. I got onto the all cheer team (a team of the best cheerleaders from all of the school in Alaska) and the whole…

    There are many different opinions out there about cheerleaders, many good, and some bad. Some people think of them as the girls standing by the football field, but I think of cheerleading as a symbol of all the spirit that we can share, and a token of appreciation toward the team that’s being cheered on. Cheerleading is such a vital part to many sections of the school. If I, Casey Harvel, were chosen to be a captain for the Michigan City High School squad, not only would I make sure that any negative opinions were squashed, but the great qualities the squad holds, are emphasized and constantly challenged.…
