Cheerleading is much more than just jumping, flipping and throwing a basketball. It is a highly demanding sport that requires discipline, strength and teamwork to be successful. In addition to physical fitness, cheerleading teaches young athletes the importance of hard work in a supportive and encouraging environment. It also teaches them that there is a direct correlation between preparation, practice and success, which will translate to any career path down the road.
Unlike some other sports, cheerleading focuses on the fundamentals. Athletes learn to properly execute movements such as the tumbling sequences, stunts and cheers before moving on to more advanced skills like backhand springs. As a result, cheerleaders develop coordination and motor skills that can be applied to other areas of their life such as running, swimming or basketball.
Cheerleaders must be able to read their body as they move through a routine. This includes recognizing when to push themselves and knowing when to take a break. They also have to manage their time as they perform a routine to eight counts. As a result, they are able to practice their focus and concentration.
In addition, they need to be able to see their body as they perform stunts or tumbling. This allows them to pinpoint any potential risks that could lead to injuries in the future. Having private lessons from a cheerleading instructor gives them the singular focus they need to spot various risk factors. This will help them avoid putting themselves in dangerous situations and ensure they are performing stunts correctly.
