view profileCheerleading; Very Dangerous!
January 14, 2009Okay, yes i know a ton of people look at this list and laugh. They say this " This list is so pathetic cheerleading is not a real sport!" If you think this, think again. Cheerleading is on the National sports list. If you don't beileve me look it up yourself. In cheerleading I'm a flyer everyday for 2-3 hours i stretch to get my heelstretch, scorpion and scale higher. My heelstretch is already up to my head! In cheerleading at the flyers point your thrown up in the air doing a very dangerous trick and hoping not knowing that your bases are going to catch you. I have been cheerleading for 7 years now and i have broken, sprained many bones in my body. i have pulled many muscles in my body. At competitions on average about 10 girls get hurt each competition! They have stretcher and everything there just waiting for a girl to get hurt. If your the kind of person who wants to join cheerleading then do it! It has been shown that most kids that are involved in a afterschool activity are the kind of kids who will have better grades, won't get involved in drugs, and have more friends! Yes, cheerleading is dangerous but i have to say horseback riding is a little not a lot more dangerous than cheerleading. My cousin does both and she is complaining way more about cheerleading than horseback riding. whenever someone says cheerleading isn't a sport i say this and you can too! I laugh and sayHow would you like being thrown up not knowing if someone is going to catch or not. How would you like it if you had to tumble until you collapsed? Practice makes perfect and that is what cheerleading is. » View Comments [9]
