Straits Time Reflection 11
9:16 PM
Question 1:(a) Why is cheerleading an expensive sport? (b) What makes cheerleading such a tough sport? - ( a) Well, cheerleading is very an expensive sport to me as the students have to pay $100 to $400 each for the tailored costumes and each new competition season. The prie depends on the material and amount of embroidery for the costumes. Some teams hire them from Thailand. Now that is expensive. Not only that but they also have to pay $50 per session for their gymnastics classes and worshops. Usually, it is weekly for an hour-and-a-half. Some coaches make it compulsory for the whole squad to attend. The tights are usaullay costs from $2 to $25. These are bought from fashion outlets like This Fashion or even imported from Thailand too. The training mats are also important for the team to practice. It costs about $50 per piece. The number of mats used for competitions are 144 pieces. Kaepa brand gymnastics shoes are also needed. It is imported from the United States and Taiwan which costs $90 to $150 a pair. Nutritional supplements and vitamins which cost $50 to $130 per bottle. When practicing, there will be injuries so their medical insurance are costs $30 to $100 per person. But mostly civered by schools and organisations. Lastly, the hair products. It is very important during the competition. It cost about $50 for a team per competition. But hair accesories are not included. Overall, it is EXPENSIVE! (b) They need to train at least twice to five time a week,for at least four hour a day.They are easily injured their self.They also needs a hefty financial.Although they got medical insurance of $30 to $100 but it might not enough if they injured themselves seriously which cost about $1000 to $10,000. Question 2: What is your opinion of cheerleaders? If given a chance, would you join cheerleading? Why/ why not? - My opinion about cheerleading is quite interesting and curious how they made their excellent moves! I mean their dancing and gymnastics are so flexible and i could not even do that well, except for some that i could do. But their steps are so much more proffesional. They are an inspirational to me as they persevere till the end no matter what. They sweat, had lots of injuries but still they put their hearts into it and focus on the important thing which is winning the competition. That's so amzaing. Many people thinks that cheerleading is girls waving pom-poms and screaming like mad women and bimbos. But they are so wrong. They require lots of teamwork to get the stunts done. They put their hardwork into it. They put in hours of practice several times a week, neverminding the blood, sweat, tears that takes to perfect each high flip, lift abd tumbling stunt that is part of the routine. People also thinks it is easy and all just for fun but it is totally not! WOULD I JOIN? Well, I will definitely will not join cheerleading no matter how exciting and wonderful it may be. To me, we have to fork out lots of money in order to join the cheerleading squad. I mean, if i'm rich than i will join but i'm definitely not rich. I don't have the money and also cheerleading is not my favourite thing to anyway. So why do things that you are not interested in. And also join without putting our hearts into it. There will definitely be lots of injuries and I am a little bit afraid of heights. So, joining the sheerleading will never happen. |
