Varsity Cheerleading Team Analysis
I am an energetic person who thrives to make every new day better than the last. A positive attitude is the key to doing that, and is also a major aspect of determination and consistency. A few of my interests include cheerleading, anatomy, and reading about forensic science. Throughout highschool i was apart of the Varsity Cheerleading team and I was lucky enough to serve as both co- captain, and head captain my last two years on the team. Cheerleading has taught me many things, other than how to shake a pom pom. I’ve learned what true dedication is, how to work with a team, and most importantly what great things I can accomplish when I put my mind to it. The things that I would bring to UWM are a positive attitude and unwavering dedication,

    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…

    “Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.” This quote, spoken by Pete Hoekstra, speaks volumes to the true essence of what it means to be a leader. Leadership is all about the people. Many people incorrectly assume that being a leader means that the people you lead are there to serve you. This presumption could not be more inaccurate. Being a leader means serving your teammates and being worthy of their respect and cooperation. I believe that Hoekstra’s quote applies to all forms of leadership- from being a captain of a sports team to being a Lead Scholar.…

    Essay On NFL Cheerleaders

    • 1433 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the past three years, the NFL has faced a multitude of lawsuits dealing with the unfair payment of NFL cheerleaders. Multiple different articles support the cheerleaders, agreeing that an average of a $1,000 salary each year is unfair. However, other articles are against a higher payment, claiming that cheerleaders work because they enjoy the sport, rather than for the money. While Megan McArdle’s article, “NFL Cheerleaders Don’t Do it for the Money” uses informal diction, comparisons to other jobs, and concession to the opposition to support the claim that the cheerleaders do not deserve to be paid more, “Who Do We Under-Compensate?”, by Ira Boudway, uses a more formal diction, statistics, and concession to the other side of the argument to support the opposite.…

    I want to be a Clemson Cheerleader because I love cheering. Since I became a cheerleader in the seventh grade, I have lived for every practice, game, and competition. Cheerleading has given me some of the most amazing memories, friends and mentors and it has shaped a lot of my personal character. Having to work with others to accomplish a common goal teaches you to value other people’s strengths and pushes you to be better communicator and collaborator. Cheering is something that has become ingrained in every aspect of my life. In the off season I help coach a youth all star squad and make sure to tumble three times a week. I also grew up watching college football and going to games and I could never take my eyes off the cheerleaders. They…

    In my opinion I think that Cheerleading should be a competitive sport because cheerleaders work as hard as all other sport players do. For example cheerleaders show muscle, athleticism and agility when practicing and cheering at games. Cheerleaders show muscle because they lift other people they throw and stack people on top of other people to make a pyramid. They show Agility because when doing cheers they have to make sharp and quick movements with their hands and their feet. I don’t think that it’s fair that cheerleading isn’t a competitive sport because it doesn’t involve a ball. That is why I think that cheerleading is just as much as a sport than any other…

    I have participated in varsity cheerleading since my freshman year of high school. Over the course of these years, I have become a leader of the team. Through these four years, our team has struggled with leadership from our seniors in addition to our coaches. My teammates naturally gravitated towards me for leadership because of my positive attitude, a quality our seniors lacked. As a junior, I became the person that everyone would come to for help because I made it my responsibility to make my teammates feel like they were in a fun and safe environment. When our practices would become hostile, I tried my best to relieve the stress of my teammates and bring positive energy. After practices, many of the cheerleaders would come to me to talk…

    By definition, cheerleading is a sport involving the performance of organized cheering, chanting, and dancing in support of a sports team at games. To me cheerleading isn’t just a sport, it’s a lifestyle. It takes more than just cheering on the football team during Friday night games. It is a lot of hard work and dedication. When competition season starts, my life revolves around cheer.…

    Cheerleading's Failure

    • 336 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Failure for me is hard to deal with, especially when it has to do with others. I try admittedly to do whatever I can for my teammates and for me personally. I have been cheering since the 7th grade and it has been the most amazing experience of my life. I personally think it turned me from a shy 12-year-old not having a lot of friends, into an outgoing fun to be around 17-year-old. With the fun times I have had during cheer, comes the hard times I have had to deal with. Whether it has been coach changing or teammates leaving the hardest thing I have had to deal with has been my tumbling. When I tried out for high school cheer I did not have the tumbling to make the team, but the coach took me in any way and I eventually got the tumbling I needed,…

    I recall being the youngest girl, cheering with others several years older than me, when I began Area Youth Football cheerleading way back at the age of five. I had tried other sports such as soccer and basketball, however they didn't electrify me as cheerleading did. I instantly fell in love with the sport of cheerleading. To this day, I would not even consider changing my commitment to cheerleading, for it has positively influenced my life and taught me countless lessons that will stick with me forever.…

    I am almost positive that if you asked more than half the population what their thoughts and opinions on cheerleading are, they would start off with the stereotypical view of pretty girls who jump around and yell for a sport, in which they have no idea what is going on. But, cheerleading is so much more to me, as a cheerleader a word like leadership takes on a whole new meaning. On the sidelines, in the classroom and in the community, cheerleading has given me experience with problem solving and taught me how to become a leader. Cheerleading has brought me a family, an escape from the outside world, and a reason to wake up every morning.…

    I believe that I could serve the UA community best as a Health Ambassador. I am a marketing major and I have proficient public speaking and writing skills. I would be able to apply my communication skills and outgoing personality to the presentations that I would give to my peers. I also believe that I would be successful working with the freshmen because I have experience working with this demographic of students. I am a peer leader through First Year Experience and Retention Initiatives, so I get a chance to interact with the freshman students every day.
