CURRENT EVENT
My current event was about a 21-year-old college girl who hurt
herself while stunting at a two-day camp. She got a concussion by
a girl whose elbow came down while in a stunt and hit the soft spot
of her head. She waited to go to the doctor and when she did, she
had gotten a concussion and was out for only a couple of weeks,
but she was one of the lucky ones who didn’t end up with serious
injury.
PRODUCT SLIDE

what goes into a all-star routine. Like stunts, jumps,
pyramid, and dance.

and the ownership side and what all goes into running a cheer gym. And also, I
Hope ill be able to show others what cheerleading is and how its different from the
Stereotypes.

me to shadow him and teaching me things about
cheerleading and Mrs. Click for teaching me things
throughout the school year that I could later use in the real
world. And also my mom for encouraging me to take a
