work just as hard as all the other sport players with training. Sports require athleticism, as does cheerleading. “There is no question that competitive cheerleading is a physically demanding sport. Teams incorporate elements of dance, tumbling and gymnastics to create performance routines.” Says Kristi Dosh. Competitive cheerleading is directed by a coach, much as other team sports are directed by a coach or coaching staff. “In order to gain and maintain those athletic qualities, a competitive cheerleader
It was a February night and the stuffy Dracut High School gym smelled like sweat and chalk. The Methuen High Varsity gymnastics team had just begun our beam warm-ups and I felt oddly calm. Beam has always been my best event, so competing usually leaves me either very pleased or very disappointed. My coaches, Stacy and Kevin had been encouraging me the entire season to be less nervous at meets. For example, my split jumps on beam during practice fly above the beam in a pretty split. In meets, it was
My artifact that shows my success is a cheer trophy that my team and I won in Vegas at a competition. The trophy is significant to me because it took a lot of hard work for our team to perform at this competition. Our team has never worked together so well and had more dedication than ever because that first place trophy is something we all wanted. Before we were able to plan the Vegas trip we had to qualify at the Six Flags competition because they are the ones who determine if our team is good
Furthermore, along with how Anthony’s quote can be related as a contradictory term towards Atwood’s novel titled The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), it can also be seen through my personal life. Although it is opposed to Atwood’s novel, Anthony’s quote is not contradictory towards my personal life. An example of how Anthony’s quote can be related to my personal life can be seen through a sport called cheerleading. I have been practicing this sport since I was nine years old. This sport is a team sport which
Let’s start with stunting, which by definition is when a base or group of bases lift or toss a flyer overhead to perform tricks in the air (Cheer Book). Stunting can be divided into three different categories based on what the flyer it doing in the air. Pyramids, group stunts, and tosses all have the same basic components to get the flyer up. There are four different positions in a group, the flyer who is the girl being lifted or tossed into the air, the backspot who stands directly behind the flyer
Simone Biles, a 19yearold Olympic Gold Medalist makes doing gymnastics looks so easy and flawless. She does things that the average human body can not, such as jump, twist, and flip. Some experts say that the answer is very complicated. Most of the time, the events with the simplest explanations of physics make the athletes push the limits of physics. One example is the physics of the pommel horse. "The principle is quite simple: Keep your center of mass over the base of support at all times
i've done in my life. In my defense it was only once, i learned my lesson the first time. I will never ever try and do gymnastics in the bathroom again. Here's how it all went down. I was about 8 or 9, lets all understand that now i'm 13 and i don't do stupid things life this anymore. So, I was in the bathroom in my moms room and i was hyper. I was dancing around doing gymnastics in the bathroom. I thought I could do the thing were cheerleaders kick their legs up really high. I asked my big sister
I laid spread out on the hot, humid top floor of the gym, surrounded by bags filled with bobby pins, brushes, glitter, and every other gadget a gymnast may need for a competition. The room smelled of nail polish remover and sweat, and was filled with anxious kids masking their apprehension by playing with hoola-hoops and cartwheeling all over the room. I was barely twelve, and freshly back in commision after two years off at the mercy of a sprained ankle. I had only had about a month to practice
to put me into gymnastics, one of the most challenging sports, both physically and mentally. Gymnastics revolves around obtaining perfection—an unreachable goal for anyone, especially a five-year-old. Albert Einstein defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Performing the same routine in front of a panel of people who will judge even my smallest flaws fits this definition to a tee. Welcome to the world of competitive gymnastics. What compelled
