Many times I wonder why I stopped, I miss it.
Cheerleading. It's something you only understand when you try it.
The beauty of nailing stunts and the glory of winning a competition.
You only understand it when you fall in love with the sport.
You fall in love with your teammates, your coaches, your gym, your biggest competition, and the entire cheer community.
Others see it as a stage in life. A simple high school thing, cheerleaders, band geeks, football players.
But you know, it's so much more.
They won't accept that you're qualified as the most hardworking and fiercest athlete of them all.
They will never know how great the feeling of putting so much faith into three people to catch you feels.
They will never ewperience the feeling of being so needed and important for the team.
It's hard to explain it to them, the first time you hear your music, when a stunt sequence isn't difficult anymore, and the joy of seeing your coach freaking out because you did your routine to perfection.
They don't understand why cheerleading means so very much to you.
It's everything.
At some point, cheerleading has been your escape from the drama of your family and friends, and you can say "cheerleading saved my life"
