Cheerleading Tryouts – Tip #3
Cheerleaders or those who want to be cheerleaders might overlook one of the most important qualities cheerleading coaches look for during tryouts and that is – are you coachable?
What does it mean to be coachable? Well, think about this for a moment. If you were the coach, what kind of person do you think would be a pleasure to coach? Here’s my list:
- Eager to learn
- Open to learning
- Willing to try new things
- Actively looks for feedback
- Takes in and uses feedback to improve
- Accepts critiques graciously
- Is always on time
- Rarely complains
- Never whines
- Views mistakes as opportunities to learn
- Pleasant to be with
- A real team player
- Supportive of others
What would you add to this list? Do you have the qualities on this list? A coach will likely choose someone with these qualities who also has the potential to learn over someone who is highly skilled but who does not have these qualities. Something to think about!
