Day 626

Come on, admit it, there is a tiny part inside you that always wanted to be a cheerleader.  


What does it take to be a cheerleader?  

Well, it's a tough sport and you've got to learn a hell of a lot of skill if you're going to do competition cheer.  But anyone can be a cheerleader in their own life. All you need is commitment and belief in what you're cheering for.  We're all cheerleaders for someone or something.  I'm a cheerleader for lots of things - my kids, my husband, my parents, my friends, my books, other people's kids.

And I'm a cheerleader for my cheerleaders.

Here we are in the current edition of Australian Cheerleading Magazine.

So again, I ask you - what does it take to be a cheerleader?

Just being on someone's team. Supporting them, encouraging them, celebrating their wins, commiserating the losses while picking them up, patting them on the back and cheering them forward.  To be a cheerleader you just need spirit and to be around to help others lift there's.

And as the article says - it helps to have a little energy, a dash of enthusiasm and a whole lot of heart.
