Handspring Essays

gymnastics. On the balance beam I have a fear of doing back handsprings. I have fallen multiple times on my back handsprings on beam, but a few times they have lead to injuries. At gymnastics practice on December 8th, 2017, when we had a meet that weekend, I did a back handspring on beam which didn't really end well. I had done all of the events that day except beam, and I was very confident for my back handsprings. My back handsprings on beam were going very well and I was very excited and confident

in the gym. One of the best memories I have ever had, was actually in the gym when I accomplished my round off back handspring back tuck. It was such an amazing memory because a lot of hard work and time was put into this skill. It was great to finally realize and see that everything I had put into this skill was now paying off and coming out. Achieve my round off back handspring back tuck was one of my greatest memory, because I had to put a lot of hard work and effort into it. I usually spent

what type of cheerleading it is, cheer can be considered harder, and more dangerous than football and basketball. “In high school cheer or sideline, it can be a lot of waving pom poms and doing back tucks and front handsprings. While in all-star, yes back tucks and front handsprings are included, the main focus is stunting,” I think this sentence really captures what this topic is about. It goes without saying that All-Star cheer is considered harder than sideline cheer, depending if you are on

Introduction Hello, my name is Hayley Brown. Ever since I was a little girl about the age of four I always wanted to be a gymnast. At the age of five my mom enrolled me in gymnastics. I was in gymnastics until age seventeen. I felt it was my time to quit then because I was the oldest one on my team at the gym. My favorite event was the floor exercise because of all the different things you can do and all the different routines. What I love about it is you can start with one thing and transform it

Born for This Annie is a level eight gymnast at a championship competition. She started her floor routine perfectly with a roundoff back handspring back tuck... When Annie started to run into a front tuck , front walkover, she fell…. but pulled it off (she makes everything look good!). Her finish was amazing with an aerial into a Back walkover back handspring solute. On her best event (beam) she started with an amazing press handstand. As she did a full turn... she fell. She didn't know what to

I will never forget the first day I had tried gymnastics. I was really horrible at it, but I had loved it so I kept doing as I was told. I really wanted to be at least one of the best people in my class. I was kinda nervous at first, but then as the years went by with all of the hard work and sweat and blood I became a lot better. I am much better than I was at gymnastics before and I think it’s really fun and there is so much to learn about it at the same time. Not only is gymnastics really

A majority of high school cheerleaders dream to be a part of a college cheer team. The level of difficulty goes up along with the number of rules and regulations go down. Even though both high school and college cheerleaders cheer for the same reasons, like getting the crowned hype for the game and supporting the players, they have many differences that we don't notice.       At almost all football and basketball games, home or away,cheerleaders will be seen on the sidelines. Cheerleaders have two

How to Train for Cheer Tryouts The best way to train for cheer tryouts is the following. The first thing you need to do is to get in shape. The best way to do this is by working out.

I had done awful on every single event. We had conditioned really hard, to the point where I felt like crying. I felt exhausted. One more event I told myself, you can do it. We started to tumble and my coach was spotting me on my roundoff back handspring. But, I always kept messing up, never landing on my feet, my coach yelling at me to just do it already and not make a fool out of my self. So I tried even harder, but I never did well. I was relieved when the practice got over. I went to the locker

My passion is dancing. When I dance, I feel confident and energetic throughout every move. Every Tuesday at The Dance Connection, I dance tap, jazz, lyrical, and hip hop. We learn a dance for each class every dance season, work on them from September to May, and then perform the dances in a recital. There is also a group at TDC that does competition dance where they compete against other dance teams. I am glad that I found this passion and I hope to stick with it for a long time. I was

Whenever someone says sports, it's always basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, or lacrosse that comes to a person's mind, but it's never cheerleading. This may be because cheerleaders don’t: throw, kick, or hit a ball around. Even though cheerleading doesn’t include a ball doesn’t mean it isn’t a sport. Cheerleaders may not pass balls around to each other, but we lift girls who are over a hundred pounds. I don’t think there’s any difference between cheerleading and the “regular sports” except for

abilities. Like said in paragraph three, cheerleading requires much more than a pretty face. Cheerleaders need to be able to tumble. Most teams require the cheerleader to already have a standing back-handspring, back walkover, front walkover, front-handspring, cartwheel, round off, and running back-handspring. That is just for tumbling purposes. Cheerleaders also need to be able to do jumps and have

One day I was at my gymnastics meet, it had lots of equipment pushed and stacked against the walls. I had my Leotard on that had ¾ inch sleeves and lots of sparkles and I love the sparkles. My mom was the loudest one in the stands. “GO LILY!” The scoring system is complicated because the highest score you can receive is a 10.0 and that is literally perfect if the judge can’t see anything wrong. The closest I have come to a 10.0 is a 9.5 which is amazing for only being in level 4 and of course, as

Either being a dancer or gymnasts both need each other to become a better athletic. Gymnastics needs to take dance class to help with their dance moves on the floor, and dancers needs to take tumbling classes to do aerobatics style. Both dance and gymnastics have similar fundamentals, but to decide which is better there are many things to consider. There are different kind of styles in dance and in gymnastics. Some consider more training and other more discipline. In dance the styles used

The success of her landing deals with the components of maintaining stability. To maintain stability, one must keep the center of gravity directly above and within the base of support (the feet), have a larger base (spread feet further apart), move the center of gravity closer to the base, and extend the base in the direction of the outgoing force (3). As the gymnast lands, her feet are slightly angled in front of her meaning her base is in the direction of the outgoing force. When the gymnast lands

then went to bed. Next thing you know it's Sunday morning. Today was 1 P.M to whenever it was over. I got there around noon because that's when we could stretch out and do what we needed to. I felt really confident, I was getting spotted on my back handspring and hitting everything. I found out my group. I was with one senior one Junior and another freshman. We were the fifth group. When my group was called we looked at each other and headed for the gym. The judges asked us a few questions and I think

considered a sport . Cheer meets the athletic criteria, they work just as hard as any other sport does. Cheer leading has cons but also has really good pros. Cheer leading is a real sport. To those who say it is not my question is can you do a back handspring round off? Can you do the splits? Do you put in as much effort into things as cheerleaders do? If no well think twice again because cheer leading is a real

Cheerleading: Is it a sport? Basketball players are known for their height. Football players for their strength. Lacrosse players for their speed and agility. Baseball and softball players for their coordination. Cheerleaders,they aren’t known for doing much. They are known for being on the sidelines and showing off their bodies. That’s it. We’re not here to show you high school cheerleading. We’re here to show you the young women and men putting all of their free-time into a stuffy old gym. Trusting
