Why is cheerleading an expensive sport?
1)It is expensive as there is a lot of money spent on the cheer leaders are high in cost just for one cheerleader, the cost of the products that are needed to prepare for the cheer leading competitions are very costly. The hair products cost $50 for each competition, the tailored costumes cost $100 - $400 each, nutritional supplements and vitamins for boosting their energy cost $50 - $130 per bottle, medical insurance Which are usually covered by schools and organisations cost $30 - $100 per person which add up to the total of a few thousand dollars exclusive of their salary. not only the cheer leader must be looking good, they also must be in perfect conditions and they must be strong enough to carry each other with harsh training about 2-5 times a week, with more than four hour of training which can prove to be very tiring.
2)What is your opinion of cheerleaders? If given a chance, would you join cheer leading? Why/ why not?
I believe that chearleading are inapporperaite job as ther is a lot of inconviniency and they are risky which would involve injuries and it might be major one that will be permanent, this might happen to most of the cheer leaders as majority of them are very young and after the injury which they would not want to have and they will not have their chance to do most of the things that they might want to do like playing sports, swimming and things that require a lot of movement and the injuries might also affect their daily life, and the traning to be a cheerleader might be to tough for most of the people. Cheerleading is not an easy job so people should really think twice before joining as it may be a great change in lives which includes people around you.
