Cheerleaders - Don’t Make this Mistake at Camp!
Cheerleading camp is meant to be fun but it’s also, of course, about learning new skills and refining and strengthening old skills.
You will have the opportunity to watch other cheerleaders as they learn to perfect new skills. A big mistake you could make is to compare yourself to someone else - especially if you do it like this: “She’s so good. I’ll never be able to do that!”
Does that sound like you? If it does, you will not only end up feeling bad about yourself but you will be training your brain to “never be able to do that!”
Remember what I’ve said repeatedly - the body does what the brain thinks!
I recommend that you observe the progress of others but with an open and curious mind. This kind of mind is the mind of a champion athlete. A champion athlete is always curious about how he or she can improve and one way to accomplish this is to observe how others perform.
So when you observe another cheerleader perform, do so with the objective of figuring out why and how that person does it! Study the performance of others in a curious and objective fashion. Notice the details and consider how you can incorporate what you have observed into your own performance.
