How do I know?

The reason why I know how to be a good cheerleader is because I was Captain of my cheer squad my senior year of high school and I cheered for 5 years, danced majority of my life and did poms for a couple years. Being Captain taught me a lot about my team and helping each other out and getting to know each individual team mate. All my years of cheerleading there is something that I take from each year that I learn from and that helps me become a better cheerleader watching my Captains in the past and learning from each one of my team mates and working my ass off to get to where I wanted to be. Being cheer Captain is a lot of responsibility and you have to believe in your team even when times come to tough moments. You always have to motivate your squad and stay positive through thick and thin. Especially when it comes to competition season and your not winning anything you have to a bitch to get everyone to listen and to bring them back up. Being Captain really taught me SO much more about what kind of person I am and how I act towards others in different situations. I really took a lot out of it.
