Cheerleader_Sweat_Too!

Cheerleader Sweat Too! I always hated our first practices. Practices always started mid July or even earlier sometimes. The weather was always hot and clammy, especially after practicing for hours. The sport, cheerleading. Cheerleading is not as easy as it looks. There’s much more to cheerleading than cheering for football or basketball players while they sweat and shoot baskets or make touchdowns. Cheerleaders sweat too, I can remember the first year I started cheering. That year, I think all the girls on my team had sweat coming down all season long. It all goes back to 1997, when I was in the 7th grade I decided to take up cheerleading. Before I started, I thought it was going to be all fun and games. What could be easier than going out to a football field and cheering for a bunch of sweaty guys' I remember being so excited to start that I couldn’t wait till July for practice; it came sooner than I thought. First day of practice, I had my spandex shorts on, my extremely oversized shirt on, and my frozen water that was almost burning my fingertips. I got to the empty field; there were so many girls there.
