Satisfactory Essays

If you took a survey at your local high school, most would say that cheerleading isn’t a sport. As a cheerleader,i know, that many others will strongly disagree that cheerleading is a sport based on the difficulty in stunting we do on a daily basis. Everyday cheerleaders, as much as people think just stand in one place and say a catchy cheer for the football players, do a lot more than that. Cheerleaders need to hit a new stunt in their 2 ½ hour practice on a daily basis, whether it’s flipping in just three people's hands or flipping on the mats, it needs to be done. Unlike almost every other sport, you don’t have multiple quarters to do better and fight your way to victory. You only have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to do your absolute best.
