Throughout the Gothic texts we have read, I have been able to analyze how Gothicism relates to fear and anxiety. The story, Sir Dominick’s Bargain is a great example of Gothicism. The anxiety that is accumulated by the main character throughout the story gives the reader a glimpse of the great depths of Gothicism, and the dark, hidden meaning that directs the story. Sir Dominick’s mysterious encounter with the gentleman and his approval for a bargain that will last seven years shows the desperate attempt to obtain all the riches he craves. Another example is the story, Shalken the Painter, where Le Fanu combines fear and horror into one story.
Cheerleading goes all the way back to the year 1877. Cheerleading is a groups of males and females that perform routines that encompass gymnastics, dancing, yelling while doing motions, and stunting. Since cheerleading goes all the way back to 1877, there are many important events that have come from cheerleading. Cheerleading is a competitive sport that originated in the US, and it started in 1877 at Princeton University.
“Cheerleaders do compete, and when they do, they have to follow guidelines and rules, just as in any other sport. For example, their routine has to be finished in less than three minutes and 30 seconds, according to the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA)” (Pom pom shake). Certainly cheerleading is different then other sports but many things relate to each other. To conclude, The rules and competitions make cheerleading one of a kind but that doesnt mean it can 't be
Being a cheerleader takes a positive attitude and the willingness to work hard! It takes commitment, self-discipline, and dedication. It takes energy and skill and it takes each of us working together to be our very best! Cheerleaders are role models at school and in the community.
When it comes to competitive cheer, there is a lot more than yelling chants. Cheerleading requires sharp/quick motions, strength, along with perfect timing. Cheerleaders have to have the ability to throw 100+ pound girls in the air and be able to catch them. In conclusion, cheerleading is dangerous, competitive, and takes time and dedication. These are all the components of what society considers a “true sport.”
We’re not here to show you high school cheerleading. We’re here to show you the young women and men putting all of their free-time into a stuffy old gym. Trusting each other with their lives and defying gravity. We’re not here to show you the average athlete.
hitting your routine is the holy Grail in cheerleading. It's what everyone strives to do. It's everyone's number one goal. That means you hate all your skills. There is no bubbles and there was not one single deduction.
Cheerleading isn’t a real sport When people think of sports they think of homeruns being hit, touchdowns being thrown, goals being kicked, hockey players beating each other up, and hearing the swish of the net. Not a bunch of girls running back and forth doing flips and tricks. I believe cheerleading is not a sport for one of many reasons. First of all when a sport is being played whether it’s Baseball, Football, Soccer, Hockey, or Basketball there’s always periods, halves, quarters and the game usually takes about 3 hours. With cheerleading, they perform for about 3 minutes to a song in front of a couple judges.
Cheerleading goes beyond shaking poms and chanting cheers on the sidelines of a football or basketball game. In similarity to every other sport, with it come sprains, breaks, and severe injuries. In my mindset I was too well trained
Not even School competitive cheer can provide this new level of Cheerleading. The coaches are professionally trained in how to conduct these tasks in a safe environment and how to teach the cheerleaders how to maintain control during the whole time of action. Our updated form of cheerleading is a way of life to many people, it involves many hours of learning and perfecting. This is why society thinks we all just overreacting towards our sport because they never see the other
Cheerleading is a sport that is mentally draining. You are constantly pushing yourself to be better. Each season starts in March with tryouts and goes until mid-February when the season ends with a national competition. By the end of my junior season, I did not want to cheer on my senior year. However, I decided since it would be my senior season to try out one last time and finish out the sport that I have always loved.
What is Cheerleading? Many may think it’s a sport that you dress up, apply makeup, slick your hair with a bow, and simply put on a smile, and yell as loud as you can to keep the crowd pumped. Cheerleading includes all those easy and pretty factors, but it is also a sport that you stunt, tumble, and jump. Jumps and tumbling may seem really easy to many people, but there’s more work done than most might think is possible. Stunting is also a major element in cheer, and that’s what really pleases the crowd, but stunting takes tons of work.
Many people have good and bad experiences about the sports or hobbies they love. For myself, cheerleading is one of those that I have excelled in due to the amazing coaches that have taught me. It is not only a skill, but a respectable title in my eyes. Although I have grown a love and passion for cheer, it was not easy at first glance. Unfortunately, failure came before success.
Cheerleading can not be done by one person, but with the help of several athletes. School cheerleading is also done to show sportsmanship and spirit. Cheerleaders are a reflection of their school, and must act like it. I promise to always represet the school in a positive way and to always show righteousness to each an every athlete. Cheerleading is not always seen as a “sport” by everyone.
You go full blast, screaming to the top of you lungs, running to your next place, and staying tight all the way through the routine. So when people looked at us cheerleaders last year, and said that our sport was easy, we made sure the thought about that
