Like I said in my last post, smiling is the best facial expression to do while performing. Facials aren't an option they just look cheesy and awful. Smiling is something you CANNOT forget! To make sure the crowd and the judges are into your team you have to make it look fun. It kind of sounds a bit easy to just keep smiling but it's not. With all the running around, lifting and dancing the routine involves you lose your breath. Most cheerleaders forget to smile because they are exaughsted and it’s something they don’t think about. As cliché as it sounds, smiling will just make getting through the routine easier. If you can try keeping your mind off the difficult things and just go through the routine like you always practice, you are in good shape!

I usually watch competitive cheerleading when I can find it on tv, and I noticed that the cheerleaders performing are smiling for the duration of their routines. However, I did not know facial expressions played such an important role in cheerleading. Like any sport, smiling and having fun will make the sport a lot easier and enjoyable. Because judges actually critique cheerleaders if they are smiling or not, I guess facial expressions have a fun and serious side!
