You are familiar with your techniques, you are good and confident in doing your dance backward ,you are perfect in tumbling. What is left is making sure your stunts hit as you perform on that national cheer.
You have to ensure you are executing each step of the stunt correctly from the set up of execution.
Here are some of the tips to improve and make sure your stunts are perfect.
GET YOUR STUNT GROUP ON THE SAME PAGE
To get your stunt group on the same page you have to communicate clearly you have to ensure that everyone understands their role and responsibility. You can find sometimes your group isn’t hitting and the stunt are getting harder, at these moment you can find someone in your group has given up. You have to come up with something that will hype up your teammates by telling them they can do it.
If you are really struggling in motivating yourself or others you can involve the coach whom they will be more than happy to help.
KNOW YOUR GRIPS
The best part of hitting the stunt is by knowing the best way to grip and practice the proper technique starting from level One to four. Start with the stomach, level ribs then switch up and beyond knowing where your hands go and when it is crucial.
If you find it’s difficult for you and you don’t know where to put your hands and at what time you can. you can ask for help from your coach and he will be ready to guide you.
BUT BE READY TO IMPROVISE
If cheerleading was just about knowing where to place your hands and feet, everyone can do it, those who can think on their feet, adapt their strategies and embrace uncertainty are better positioned to overcome obstacles and quick decisions are required.
If something goes wrong in a stunt be ready to adjust to keep it in the air.
PRACTICE YOUR TECHNIQUES
