Although that kind of traditional cheerleading is still going strong, where cheerleading squads primarily support other athletic teams, today s cheerleaders also form their own athletic teams. Competitive cheerleading takes the activity to the next level, adding the elements of complex acrobatics, lifts and tumbling that makes it exciting and high risk. Flyers, the girls who are tossed up to 20 feet in the air before twisting and flipping on their way back down, are the celebrities of competitive cheer. These dynamic athletes are fearless and driven when the time comes to compete. Every book in the Preparing for Game Day series provides tips from the sport s top players and coaches on how to physically and mentally prepare for your favorite sport. Each title also provides a rundown of the steps you should take to be at your optimal level when it is time to compete.
