All-Star Biggest Fear In Cheerleading?

[Mamarazzi]

My biggest fear is being "that Mom." The one who coaches from the parent area, hates on kids, makes their cp question themselves and the sport. I don't EVER want to be that.

My biggest fear is an injury. The older I get the more I fear having to sit a season out due to injury.

well let's see:

- i've broken a bone already
- at our biggest nationals of the year in florida 2 years ago it took me two 8 counts to fall & i looked pathetic trying to so hard to fight it & not fall the entire time
- i've been rejected from my high school team freshman year

i guess i fear the same as @lovescheer . clearly i'm not comparable to whitney love in tumbling & maddie in stunting but i know that if given a chance i'll give 110% & do my best to improve & help the team. but i feel like all star isn't all about potential anymore. try outs is kinda you have it, awesome level 5! you don't..eh how do you feel about level 3 again? sucks :\

My biggest fear is loosing tumbling that I already have, so im constantly at the gym working my skills to make sure I don't wake up one day and not have them anymore!

My biggest fear is that people get too involved with the drama and politics of cheerleading to keep it what it was when we all first started... Fun. There are obviously a lot of politics and drama in cheerleading, that comes with any sport. Especially any sport that is judged. But I know when I started cheerleading, it was (at first for the girls :) but then) for the love of it. It was love at first stunt for me. I walked into a gym for the first time and never thought I could do a fraction of what I was watching. 12 years later and I'm doing more than I could have ever dreamed was even possible. That makes me love cheerleading more than I've ever loved anything in my life. And when people turn it into drama fest and it's all about the wrong things, it's truly disheartening. The cheer moms who absolutely need their child to be up front for everything because their child works harder than everyone else's child. The kids on the team that are more concerned with what they can get for themselves becasue they want to shine rather then being ok with the fact that they need to get team aspects ready so that they can shine as a team. Weather you are WC Shooting Stars, Top Gun, or CA Bullets, or random midsouth west east north blah blah all stars, you can have a ridiculously fun time with this sport. Weather you tumble your butt off or couldn't do a cartwheel, you can have a 100% chance of having fun if you let yourself. Don't be afraid of things, this is something you love to do. Be happy that you get to participate in something you love to do. Not a whole lot of people can say that. You are all lucky enough to say that you do. Every one of you can put fears behind you if you let yourselves realize why you started this to begin with. I know not everyone that posted in here is scared of something to the point of not doing things, but for those of you that do have mental blocks, try to have more fun in the things that you do permit yourselves to do and then you may find that the other stuff comes more naturally when you're having a good time with it rather than beating yourself up cause you can't do it.

You all are awesome. :)

My biggest fear in cheerleading is tearing my ACL, I know so many people who have done it, it just genuinely freaks me out.

I know some of 'those moms'. They are quite the site to see.

ACL TEARS.

I'm claustrophobic when it comes to tumbling. I'm always scared I'm going to hit someone or they're going to hit me.

Feeling like I let my team down at a competition and I was why we didn't place well.
The worst feeling in the world!:(
