As a lot of you i'm sure know, cheerleading tryouts are coming up quickly, they are this Sunday! Along with everybody else trying out, I am extremely nervous about making it. But I was on the squad last year so I am a returning cheerleader which is helpful because I know exactly what the judges are looking for and exactly how to give it to them. Unfortunately, my weak spot is definitely in tumbling. I've always been scared to tumble so I didn't learn anything until a year ago! I mean literally, I couldn't even do a cartwheel until a year ago. BUT, since then I've come a long way and I nearly have my flip-flop now. This will effect me a lot this year because most of the girls trying out have a lot of really good and advanced skills which I clearly don't have! Now, focusing on the good aspects of my skills: I can cheer really well! Which is a very vital part to being an EHS cheerleader. I am also like so sharp I am in pain after I finish cheering or dancing! Speaking of dancing... I don't really know what to say about dancing because I am a pretty good dancer but when dances are awkward (like parts of this one) I have to practice extra hard to get it right and make it natural looking.
To prepare for tryouts, I've been going to A LOT of privates with various LSU cheerleaders and different tumbling coaches at LSU. We work on stretching, jumps, tumbling, cheering, dancing, sharpness and many other things. I've been going to tumbling lessons a lot for maybe 4 or 5 weeks now and I've been working on cheer things (dancing, cheering, sharpness ect.) for maybe 2 or 3 weeks now. I've gone through a lot of soreness and exhaustion but I want to be on the squad really bad because I do really love cheer and I love all the friendships that I made and I would really like to continue them! I'm really hoping all of my hard work pays off because I have not only put a lot of time into this but also a lot of money! Wish me luck(:
