OT Cheerleading Analogies

[DaniV]

I learned this one and it really works well with the junior/senior team - when the bases are dropping their chest in loads or before the flyer even hops in I tell them to "text under the table".

When you are in class and texting under the table to avoid being caught by the teacher you can't drop your chest over table and still see the phone, so (much like you should stand for basing) you want to have your back straight, with chest up and looking down at your hands without leaning forwards.

Ok I'm using those last two! ^^ Good ones!
I tell all my kids to "get out of the deep end!" Or "take a big jump out of the pool" when they jump into load to get their arms locked out.

I know a coach who tells the bases to grab their flyers foot "like it's a Subway sandwich". Then to remind them she says, "Eat fresh!"
