I am very excited about my presentation in #loweclass #sports that I am planning on doing on the topic of cheerleading. Many people have different opinions about cheerleading being labeled as an actual sport but cheerleading is in fact a competitive sport just as others are. 

So, what makes me so interested in cheerleading? Well, I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I cheered for three years in high school and was a captain of the squad my senior year. 

This was in total a great experience that I would not trade for the world. Rufus King IB High School has always been known for having some of the best cheerleaders in Wisconsin, and I am proud to say that I was one of them. Being apart of this group was like a sisterhood. We spent so much time together outside of practice and grew a very deep bond. 

For my presentation on cheerleading, I am planning on interviewing a few people as sources. I am not sure if I could include myself, but I do want to incorporate a way to express my personal feelings about this topic. I plan to interview my former cheerleading coach, another captain member, and general member of the squad. 

One thing that many people forget about cheerleading is that it is a competitive sport. Cheerleaders are not only present to cheer on and add support to other sports teams. Cheerleading teams compete nationwide and this is a huge part of this sport. 

I plan to discuss how cheerleading is generally portrayed throughout the media. Cheerleading originated as an American sport but it is now local, national, and international. A big issue regarding cheerleading or therefore any sport is the increased risk for injuries. While cheerleading is meant to support an athletic team, its intense competitions at high school and college levels have created a whole new dynamic. 

I am very excited to complete this presentation and I think that I am the right person for this topic being that I have years of experience. A goal of mine is to make others more aware of cheerleading as a sport and not as just a recreational activity. I want others to know the positive impact of cheerleading and why it matters.
