Who does cheerleading affect?

Answer 1

Physically if young girls particiate in competition cheer they will be very fit. I know from experience that there is much more then appears to the eye. You get strength training from lifting other girls. You are also get cardio training from all of the running you will be doing. Muscle building comes from all of the push-ups and sit ups. Mentally is a whole different ball park however. The one huge thing that can raise a young girls self esteem is from knowing that she has every girl in that whole gym behind her cheering her on including the coaches. Ya cheer is very dramatic but there is nothing any of the girls wouldn't do for each other. And simply knowing that u always have some one backing you up gives you a sence of self worth and therefore apears in a young girls mental state.
