1. You love real fun and excitement.
Cheerleading makes you feel more alive. Simply watching arena cheerleaders on screen causes your heart to beat faster. Like any person who’s passionate abut something, you believe that there’s no other thing in life that could bring you so much happiness than your dream career - cheerleading.
Fun and excitement aren’t the only reasons for one to pursue cheerleading. But these feelings shouldn’t be rejected either. Nothing great can be achieved without enthusiasm. You’ll feel good about yourself when you have fun. Real fun and excitement are feelings that no one ever regretted having.
2. You have a team attitude.
If you’re more concerned with individual work than teamwork, cheerleading might not be for you. When cheerleaders look out for one another and work together in unity, the team will be able to achieve a splendid performance.
When you’re so self-driven, it’s not uncommon to think about your personal accomplishments most of the time. However, you should remember that cheerleading has no place for one-man armies. As a cheerleader, it is important that you set your personal interests aside in favor of your team’s goals. Your team’s success is also your success and vice versa.
3. You’re open to growth opportunities.
Cheerleading presents you with tons of opportunities to improve yourself. It’s a challenging journey in which you face your fears and insecurities. You may not make it into your dream cheerleading team and get discouraged. As a cheerleader, it’s also possible for you to encounter a lot of physical injuries along the way. Sometimes, you’ll feel that your efforts aren’t enough.
Your personal struggles in cheerleading push you to build a better character - to always focus on the positive. And if you keep striving to be the cheerleader you want to be, you’ll be surprised by the success that will eventually come your way.
4. You strive to be the best version of yourself.
Do you worry about criticism from other people? Do you allow the fear of failure to crush your dream of becoming the best cheerleader? Are you too hard on yourself?
A pro cheerleader always seeks to be the best version of herself - physically, mentally, and emotionally. You celebrate your imperfections while doing your part to be better than you were yesterday. You commit to eating a healthier diet. You practice daily. You inspire yourself with positive affirmations to boost your self-worth.
5. You have an enthusiasm for sports.
Imagine sporting events without cheerleaders. They would be dull and lifeless. Cheerleaders fill the arena with so much excitement. With their main duty of supporting their team on the field, it only makes sense that cheerleaders are interested about the rules and background of a sport.
Before your auditions, one of the things you need to know are some basic sports rules. You’ll be asked with questions such as, “Who is your favorite player on the team?” or “What could the team have done better last season?”
