As a wannabe cheerleader, you may be harboring the dream of getting
into NJ cheerleading championship. Well, if that is the case, then you
have your work cut out. You require plenty of practice sessions before
the day of actual try-outs comes. Specifically, you want to eliminate
the nervous moments that characterize a typical newbie performance.
Before the try-outs, you need to talk to the coach since it is him or her who knows what he or she wants for the team. Also, you should ensure that you have prepared in advance and not wait until the try-outs day before getting ready. It can take some time to get in perfect shape for the occasion. Get to know the requirements well in advance before the day.
Talking to other cheerleaders in the team is also a healthy thing to do. Through this way, you will be able to share your experience with them. You will also get to know that it is not just you who is nervous. Also, get a friend to work with from these cheerleaders. You may find out that it is motivating to talk to someone. Eventually, this will be great for nerve-calming.
Then there is the week of practice. Before try-outs, most squads do have practice sessions. This way, the coach is able to train everyone on skills that are required for try-outs. It is also at this time that the coach can evaluate how good you are at working with others. Take the practice session as the time to make friends as you work hard.
During the practice sessions, you have to have self-confidence. It does not matter that you certainly are the best within the pack. Your attitude and sportsmanship will be very instrumental in ensuring your success in the try-outs. You should also be open and be in a position to try new things. You could think that you are giving your best but the gaffer thinks you would be better in doing another thing. Experiment with new things.
The most important day is the try-outs day. Have plenty of sleep prior to this day. This is because you will require a lot of energy and vibrancy to endear yourself to the judges. The clothes which you wear are also very important. They need to fit. If they do not fit, it will be hard seeing motions. Comfort in those clothes is also vital.
Prior to being called on stage to perform, inhale deeply three times. During the breathing in, convince yourself that you are up to the task. When getting to the floor, be very enthusiastic. Create an impression in the judges to the effect that you are up to it. Also, put on a natural smile. A fake smile will be easily detected. Your main goal is to show judges you are having fun.
Using a loud clear voice is very important during the NJ cheerleading competition. Make a point not to chop or sing your words. Make the words sharp and clear. Ts and Rs should be pronounced well. Also, use expressions and not sound like a robot. The audience does not love a monotone voice. In case you are not sure about what you are being told to do by the judges, ask them to explain.
