My First Year At Kansas City Athletic Cheer

Not all cheerleaders are created equal, they do not perform the same or work as hard. Any All-Star cheerleader will tell you that high school cheerleading is not nearly as hard as All-Star Cheerleading, but why is that? Cheerleading is a mix of chanting, dancing, tumbling, and stunting. Each level of cheerleading has its limits and regulations. To understand why exactly All-Star girls believe they put in so much more work, one must look into the differences between their coaching, training, limits, and requirements to see who really is on the top of the pyramid when it comes to cheerleading.

After graduating, I was asked to coach the team at the elementary school where I started. I was able to help develop and form the same skills that were taught to me in the gym I grew up in. Being able to relate to these young players helped create an unbreakable bond between us. The squad was able to trust me, allowing my teachings to guide them. Before any of the girls went on to high school they heeded my advice and continued to play basketball. A core group of them exceeded and won every league championship these past four years. Last year was the graduation of the first group of girls I instructed. During one of my girls graduation speeches, she thanked me for showing her how much fun basketball could be. She then proceeded to tell me that she would continue to play in college. Knowing that I was able to empower a young girl down an exciting path is very

You are receiving this email because you have agreed to volunteer your tie to coach a cheerleading team for the Van Buren Youth Football League. I want to first say THANK YOU for volunteering your time! Please forgive me for not get this email to you all sooner I have been extremely busy. I am starting a new career as a 1st year teacher in the Van Buren school district and my summer has been very pre occupied with tasks for this new position. At the moment this email will serve as out initial coaches meeting as I honestly don 't have the time to plan out a full fledged meeting. So I will try to cover all elements in this email.

Growing up, I was a competitive cheerleader but was forced to quit three and a half years ago when I was struck with chronic back pain for the second time in my life. I was pain free for just over a year and a half, and during that time I was involved in cheerleading again. After the pain relapsed, I endured countless needles and numerous procedures. I was home bound and on bed rest for seven months during my junior year of high school, which is considered the most important and determinant year. I wasn’t able to go to school and sit at a desk all day, because the pain was too excruciating. Because of this, my teachers were reluctant to help and didn’t think I deserved to continue their classes with passing grades since I was not in class,

Wooden’s believes that “the two qualities of friendship so important for a leader to possess and instill in team members are respect and camaraderie” (Wooden 25). In the

There I was, In the Colorado Airport with some of my teammates. We were sitting on the chairs waiting to aboard our second flight, that will later then take us to Las Vegas, Nevada, for our NYAA Cheerleading Nationals.

My dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm for cheerleading set me apart from the other applicants, along with my diversity with different types of cheerleading. I have 15 years of cheer experience at the all-star, junior high, high school, and at the collegiate level. I feel like this makes me a very well rounded leader because I have cheered with many different personalities and worked with coaches at each of these levels. As an all-star cheerleader, my coach selected me to perform an individual routine, I was a captain of my junior high cheer team, and was able to work closely with my high school cheer coach to help run practice after an jury my junior year. I hope that if I were to be selected to represent Hendrix College Cheerleading’s

On January 21st, 2016, as I was preparing for my senior year cheer tryouts, I experienced a horrible injury. As I was doing a tumbling pass I dislocated and broke three bones in my right leg. I fractured my tibia, fibula, and talus. I was immediately rushed to the hospital and had emergency surgery. I had two plates inserted with 10 titanium screws. I was immobilized for the next 10 weeks. Because of the surgery I missed the next week of school and had to catch up very quickly. Although this injury slowed me down, I still made the varsity cheer team and maintained a 3.5 gpa. Even though I was able to make the cheer team and maintain above a 3.5 gpa, looking back I received two of the only B’s of my highschool career. I believe that if I had

I first became involved with the sport when I was 9-years-old and will probably continue with the sport until I graduate. Being a part of this team has shaped me into the person I am today. I have become a role model for my younger teammates. I am someone who can motivate them to work their hardest and help them achieve their goals by guiding them. I have spent many hours, whether it be during practice or after, coaching these younger teammates, or girls trying out for my team, in order to help out my coaches and show these girls that if they ever need any help I will always be available. This has taught me to step up and be a leader, which is something 9-year-old me would have never

One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday

Cheerleading has always been a major passion of mine, and I have been lucky enough for the past two years to volunteer while doing something I love. Beginning as junior, I started with this volunteer organization. For the past two years I have worked with young girls ages ten and eleven. I began working with them in July and finished in October. Each week, I prepared new material such as, cheers, dances, and stunts, and would then teach this material to them twice a week at practice. I also attended the football games where I monitored and helped them

I have been volunteering as a cheerleading coach for my community football team since 2002. The girls are ages 6-8 years. I watch some of them come in

Every since my friend Layla was little she had always dreamed of being on her high school cheer team. She would often call me over to her house just to show me new moves that she had learned from watching videos on YouTube. Once she got into middle school she had no problem with making the team she even got picked captain from 6th through 8th grade. She pretty much had guaranteed spot on the high school squad. That tragically all ended when she found out she had to switch schools. She had to leave this atmosphere where she had made a name for herself, knew everyone, and everyone was pretty much African American or mixed to an all white school.

In the environment today, it is not unusual to see people working in teams to accomplish certain goals and tasks. During our youth, parents and teachers encourage us through various methods to work as part of a team. Whether a sports team, classroom team, or after school activities, parents and teachers and other authority figures start the introduction of working in teams and teaching the value of being able to work together to accomplish a common goal. As people progress through the various stages of their lives, everyone continues to strive to communicate. Communication is a part of everyday life. It may be overlooked in some areas, but when dealing with a team environment, communication is vital. One

Having played a variety of team sports throughout my life, I saw a lot of parallels throughout the class work on team building between positive teamwork and success. Reading Five Dysfunctions of a Team and then applying what we learned from the reading into several team building exercise gave me a unique perspective on how to create and identify key team building skills.
