It is the fastest way to crumble the unity and bond of a squad. Exhaustion can lead to extreme frustration. But being tired doesn't mean you have to take it out on others. Cheerleaders know how to juggle their schedules better than anyone during school. There are always games and practices, but we also have school, fund raising, community work, gymnastics or dance classes, family and other extra-curricular activities.
Some cheerleaders even hold down a part-time job.
Make a list of your priorities and stick to it. If you need a break from cheerleading or other activities, take one. If school and homework suffer because of lack of time, be sure to speak up. Your education is the MOST important thing. I realize that all these things are easier said than done.
