I have! When I cheered last year, I was 15, 5'4" and 110. I quit because of injuries, and this year I'm definitely less toned and a little bigger but I weigh about 97 pounds. It's so strange how much muscle I lost.This is slightly unrelated/related but I have a question.. anyone here who has stopped cheering found that they lost weight? (i'm thinking due to the loss of your cheer muscle?) I lost a few pounds this year and the only think i've done differently exercise/food wise is stop cheering lol. just curious!
I hate when people say "your too big". Seriously I am 5'4 weigh 110-115 and the girls on my HS team say I'm too big...these girls have been basing fetuses for years and don't really have strength. Having based and fly on an competitive level, I know that I am normal and there's nothing wrong with me. The only time you could be too big to fly is if there is much smaller girls who can't base you.
This is my problem exactly, right down to us being the same weight/height haha. My coach won't fly me even though I'm flexible and experienced. Instead she put an extremely inflexible girl who has no experience up because she's a little smaller than I am. So trust me, I feel your pain.
I'm actually a little ticked because my coach basically told me I was flying next year but when a freshman fetus came in guess who I got stuck basing? She calls me over all the time to show body positins and when the other coaches it looks like its my fault for not advocating or stepping up..
My high school coach did this to me all the time. I was flying but I was stuck in the back center. She asked to show another girl how to do a scorp full down so she could fly it at state...I was peeved because I already had the skill and it looked better than hers did. But she changed the formation and we both ended up doing it at state. But she always asked me to show everyone else how to do something so that they could do it at games but would have me do nothing even though my stunt was the most solid.
I personally do not like the way it looks when a team obviously has fetal flyers. It is so much more impressive to me to see seniors basing other senior aged girls than basing 10-12 year olds who look like they're 10-12.
