As Nationals season is just around the corner, we are all anticipating the rush of cheer excitement, stress, and fun. All these feelings are commonly haunted by the \u201cwhat if\u2019s\u201d in the cheer world. Let’s go over a few things that may scare you going into the biggest events of the season, while also giving you tips to keep these from ruining your #cheergoals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Having a bad cheer hair day<\/strong>. Cheer hair disasters are terrifying. Stay positive and do not rush it. Give yourself enough time to get ready while leaving enough time to fix any imperfections before it is showtime. Don\u2019t forget the hairspray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Running out of your favorite makeup products!<\/strong> Make sure to check all your favorite products before leaving for the weekend so if you need more you have time to make a pit stop at Ulta! No one wants to run out of their go-to products on comp day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Your coach saying, \u201cone more time.\u201d<\/strong> AGAIN. You have already done it at least 6 times. A body can only take so much!! Take a breath and remember every rep makes you stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Falling nightmares<\/strong>. Everyone has falling dreams some more intense than others. So much is at stake! Don\u2019t let these dreams alter your confidence and strength. You\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Running out of room for your cheer gear. <\/strong>Do we ever have enough cheer stuff? Technically, yes. But here\u2019s the thing, new bows, scrunchies, sports bras, t-shirts, and shorts styles come out every year and we don\u2019t have those ones yet. So really, the only thing holding us back is the possibility of running out of space to store them all\u201a which would be horrifying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Dropping a stunt.<\/strong> The crumble isn\u2019t even the worst part. You know what we mean\u2026 Use your best technique and fight for it. Don\u2019t let the competition stress and practice fatigue let that stunt come down. You can do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Forgetting your routine<\/strong>. Going completely blank in front of the crowd might be the ultimate cheer nightmare. At least you can recover from making a mistake\u201a you can\u2019t just magically shake that blank space while you\u2019re under pressure! If only you could magically disappear\u2026 Luckily, we are so afraid of these things that we do everything we can to keep them from happening in real life! But we also know that if we do our best and give our all, there\u2019s nothing to worry about no matter what happens. Stay positive and trust in your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck this Nationals season and bring home the gold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s your turn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
