    Cheer is not just a sport. It is intense physical activity with a purpose- to serve as a motivation for the team.

    Competitive cheerleading has never been called a sport according to the government. There has been an ongoing debate as to if cheerleading fits the definition of a sport which is “an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature” (Dictionary.com n.d.). By that definition you could interpret it to mean cheerleading is a sport, but there is much more to being a sport than meeting a definition. Competitive cheerleading does require specialized training, extensive practices, and a dedicated team; but to become a sport there are several problems that must be addressed. There is not a consistent set of competitions, no standard set of rules, and no regulations for judging. There has also been many court debates on this subject with cheerleading always on the losing end. In order for cheerleading to become a sport these problems must be addressed. Once this is addressed then cheerleading could become an official sport and the athletes would be eligible for athletic scholarships for full tuition amounts.…

    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'm just going to be blunt, and say that i am not the perfect cheerleader. I say this because, i'm still learning how to take criticism from others. My very first time being judged by a cheer coach was last year. She pointed everyone of my flaws, which i truly thought was flawless. At first i wouldn't listen to her, i would've just ignored it and go on with the rest of my day. Although one day i took her advice and started practicing more and more and my cheer moves were coming semi-perfect. To be able…

A few of my interests include cheerleading, anatomy, and reading about forensic science.

    When I was in 5th grade we were holding tryouts for cheer for the upcoming year. That was the year I was going to prove to all my bullies and peers that I could do anything I put my mind to. Therefore, I decided to try out for cheer without realizing that I would not be on the cheer team until the next year. When finally realized that I would not be able to cheer that year I decided to try out for the dance team, which ended up well for me. The challenge came when I had and asthma attack and the cheer tryouts were 2 days later. I was not going to let anything get in my way especially considering I felt it was the only way to get my peers to see me in a new light. When I finally got back to school, it was the day of cheer tryouts and I was ready…
