Leadership Through Cheerleading

Leadership through cheerleading is very important as the girls are increasing in their years.  Although they have been on the team throughout most of their high school, they must remain leaders as they grow older and not start to take advantage of their age over the younger girls.  As the seniors are graduating this year, the juniors must step up in order to achieve the maximum potential that the squad has.  As I am helping teach the younger girls the cheers for tryouts this week, I will be encouraging the older girls to be leaders among their peers.  In addition to being leaders amongst their squad, they must continue to be leaders in the school too.  People look at the cheerleaders in two different ways.  One way is that they look at them as the leaders of the high school and look up to them.  The other way that people look at them is that they are annoying.  In order to make it so that people look at them as solid leaders, the cheerleaders must be good godly leaders on and off the field and court this year.  They have to try to leave a positive legacy for the rest of the squads to come.  This is very important because if the cheerleaders are looked at in a negative way, they will only remain in a negative light when cheerleaders are supposed to be the positive leaders in a positive light.  Hopefully the cheerleaders can step up and become good positive leaders and show the love of Christ through their actions.
