Cheerleading- Will It Make You Popular-- 啦啦宝

贝你会因此成

Although the short skirts probably grab all the guys' attention, the main reason cheerleadersare so popular is “they're very involved, ou tgoing and energetic,” says Jim. “Plus, there's an entertainment value. You're the star of the show and everyone' s eyes are on you.” And w hy do cheerleadersseem so darn2 confident? “ They get confidence by be ing in front of people and being the center of attention,” Jim adds. We know plenty of celebs who get a boost3 from being in the spotlight, too!

You Want to Be Popular. Should You Try Out4?

If you want to cheer just to gain popularity, consider this: “ Girls wh o want to be popular should see that it is a sport and you can get hurt, ” Jim says. “I just broke my nose at practice!” Plus, cheerleaders give u p a lot of social activities for practice, which can be up to five days a week and three hours at a time! (That doesn't count competitions and sc hool games.) So make sure you're willing to sacrifice Friday night partie s before you try out!

What If You Don' t Fit the Stereotype5?

No worries! Even President Bush was a cheerleader back in the day —so don't assume they're all just blonde Barbie dolls. “I have girls o n my team who are total alternative rock fans and I also have complete girlie-girls who love Louis Vuitton and makeup,” Jim says. “I like the i ndividuality because it gives the team an edge6 and personality.” Jim eve n has guys on his squad7. “ When the crowd sees the guys come out, th ey love it! ”

Is It All Fun in the Game?

Surprisingly, cheerleadershave to deal with criticism and self-doubt j ust

like everyone else. “People say cheerleadersare airheads8, that they only care about dating guys and being popular,” Jim says. “ People thin k they can be very cliquey9 and don't let outsiders in, which I know is false.” And not only do cheerleaders have to deal with haters, but they put tons of pressure on themselves. “ The problems are mostly about wei ght and self-esteem10. They think they' re not good enough.” Even wor se, the moms can get more competitive than the girls! “ Sometimes a mot her will go up to a teammate and say, ‘You messed up11,'” Jim says. Yikes12, sound harsh!

Bottom Line13:

Forget the nasty14 stereotypes and misconceptions! Cheerleading can be a tough sport, but there' s room for everyone (even you!). Remember —not everything is what you think!

预备好啦?好!来听听《音乐电视制造》的吉姆•麦克姆兰对这项人人又爱又恨的运动发表的独家之言。

什么原因啦啦队员会受欢迎?尽管超短裙可能吸引所有男人的目光,啦啦队员之因此如此受欢迎要紧依旧因为“她们专门投入、奔放而且有活力。”吉姆讲,“再者,其中还有娱乐价值。她们是这场表演的明星,所有人的眼睛都凝视着她们。”什么原因啦啦队员们看起来如此自信?吉姆补充道:“她们自信是因为她们在众人之前,是众人瞩目的焦点。”我们明白许多名人也是在聚光灯下赶忙精神大振的!

想受人瞩目,是否要尝试?如果你加入啦啦队只是为了出名,那就要考虑一下吉姆的话了:“想出名的女孩要意识到这是一种运动,是会受伤的。我不久前就在训练时弄伤了鼻子!”而且,啦啦队员得舍弃专门多社交活动来参加训练,可能要达到每周五天,每次三小时(! 这还不包括参加各种竞赛以及学校运动会的时刻。)因此确定你情愿牺牲周五晚的聚会之后再行动吧!

如果你不符合标准如何办?
