You survived week 1 doing jumps but now we need to correct our motions in order to clean up our appearance while we are jumping and cheering. This week you will focus on keeping your motions tight, voice projection, learning a cheer and adding spirit! When fans come to the game they love to see us cheering loudly and most of all spiriting. It keeps them excited and engages them to cheer with us. We hope you still continued to stretch and practice jumps throughout the week it is very important. We are adding workouts that you can practice alternating to build up your strength. For example don't only focus on lower body, or do it once and never again. Try to do at least one video up to 4-5 times a week. What is Spiriting? Spiriting is what we do in between and after cheers or dances. This can be smiling while waving you're arms simultaneously, an individual or team jump, a kick, tumbling or yelling GO TIGERS. One thing we NEVER DO is yell WHOOO! WHOO0=NOT Spiriting. Voice Projection-Make sure when you are cheering your team mates and crowd can hear you clearly but loudly and most importantly do not sing the cheers.Keep it natural to avoid sounding screechy yell with a natural relaxed voice. Make eye contact with the crowd and SMILE:) Cheerleaders Breathing Exercise - Diaphragm Breathing Use your voice from your diaphragm. This exercise will help you utilize your diaphragm in an efficient way and help to strengthen this muscle. Here's how to do it:
Important tip* When you are doing a cheer we say the words 3x then you end clean and spirit! This weeks tasks include: learning a cheer, practicing doing motions and showing spirit. You will email [email protected] a video of yourself demonstrating all motions and completing cheer (Tigers in the House). Please make sure the video is fully visible of yourself so coaches are able to give feedback. Good Luck!
