15 Signs You Were Definitely A Cheerleader In High School

Chances are, you were probably a cheerleader at some point in your life. However, the people who stuck with it all the way through high school know that leaving it behind also left some tell tale signs you were a cheerleader.

1. You still do standing tucks as a cool “party trick”

This is a bullet proof way to impress your friends… and get a little laugh when they try to do it too.

2. “Sorry, I have practice”

We all know the struggle of having no social life during competition season.

3. Constantly battling people that it is a sport

Even though you aren’t a current cheerleader, you still remember the blood, sweat, and tears you put in to every practice and you will defend it until your last breath.

4. You met all of your closest friends through cheerleading

And your non-cheer friends will never have the same bond with you.

5. Traveling to competitions was probably one of the best parts of the experience

Flying around the country and seeing new places with your best friends? Yes please!

6. But nothing compares to the rush of adrenaline you get when you hit a solid routine

Sure, the 2 minutes and 30 seconds during the routine were hell, but it paid off in the end.

7. It taught you the most important lessons to get you through college (and life)

Managing your time with practices, working together with people you don’t like, self-disipline, the list goes on and on.

8. When your coach said, “one more time” you knew it meant 15 more times.

And thats why we have trust issues.

9. Every time you watch Bring It On you get angry

Because you know that’s not how cheerleading actually is.

10. People are always impressed that you can touch your toes with no problem

Even when you haven’t stretched in a month.

11. The bus rides to/from games were the best bonding times.

Gossiping and blasting music with your whole team was so much fun.

12. You will always be superstitious

Nothing says bad luck like not doing your hand shake with your best friend before taking the mat.

13. Your pain tolerance is pretty high

After face-planting in tumbling passes and getting slapped, cut, and bruised everyday, your whole body is basically numb.

14. You have a drawer full of old bows that you’ll never wear again

But you just can’t get yourself to throw them away.

15. Your coaches either made you love the sport, or hate the sport

Either way, its something that has prepared you for the rest of your life.
