The appropriate interventions selected include training in other stunts, allowing participation in open competitions, job design, and rotation in industry meets.

    Examples Of Parallelism In The Lovesong Of J Alfred Prufrock

    Humans have performed dangerous stunts since the beginning of time. These daredevils, deemed as either utterly insane or as possessing death wishes, are usually viewed by society as mere lunatics: people who do not value their lives. On the surface they are laughed at, but underneath the public condescension and jeering they are viewed with a kind of horrified admiration. Why is this? It is because these individuals are doing what they love without holding back and with no reservations. They are fully aware that they are risking their lives and that death is staring them in the face, but they do not care because they are achieving their dreams. These daredevils set themselves apart from the crowd by acting on their desires when most of the…

    Now if you’ll excuse me, i’m taking your man, and later the title of ‘cheer captain’” I grabbed Isaac's hand and turned away from her walking to the tops of the bleachers. “You’re a fiery little thing aren't you?” He laughed and laid his arm around my shoulders. Asriel looked up at us and stared, as I smiled and grabbed his hand making sure she could see. “You know, she's always jealous. Even when no one does anything wrong. It drives me insane.” he frowned a bit and i felt my heart drop. “You should change that Isaac, you’re handsome, so smart,athletic and funny. You deserve so much more. She’s a witch, to you and everyone else.” I turned to look at him and he was already staring at me. “I- i’m sorry if i offended you Isac, it’s ju-” He cut…

    Personal Narrative: Muscle Shoals High School

    Gallons of sweat trickled down my face while I seamlessly ran up and down the track. At times, I didn’t think I would get through it. It was an everyday struggle to continue my journey down the path of success. At practice, we would relentlessly run and run and run until our breathing neared nonexistent. I, for one, could barely keep up, but the fight inside of me did not die out. My coach would tell us that our meet was nearing and our will to win kept pushing everyone harder. We ran three to four miles a day with little to no breaks. He would yell motivational phrases to push us, but in all honesty, we just wanted to get back in our beds and sleep the day off. Although this is true, It became important to me to work to better myself and though…

    The Great Depression: Western Industrialized World

    Similarly to football in New England, professional sports in the 1920’s were popular entertainment. When everything else is falling apart in someone’s life, they can take moment to sit back, relax, and enjoy cheering on their home team. In the beginning of the Great Depression, Cycling races were still a popular source of entertainment, but it slowly started to disappear with the crowds leaving people like Carl Stockholm without an income or a way to make a living. “That was it. We always hoped this sport would come back. It never did” (Stockholm 179). When sports entertainment diminished so did the hope of the people. It was the last string tying them to what used to be before The Great Depression. When someone loses something to look forward to in circumstances such as poverty they lose the motivation to do the not so enjoyable things. They lose the will to live. The Great Depression stole the people’s hope and…

    Satire on Cheerleading

    When the word "cheerleader" comes to mind, many think of skinny blondes shouting "go team" while waving pom-poms in the air in short and skimpy shorts. Well, its true. All cheerleaders are meant to do is help get the fans more into the basketball and football game. So, what's the purpose of these dumb blondes? Absolutely nothing.

With these few qualifications, your chances for being a part of this team are great. So, why doesn't everyone start failing and throwing up their food? Being a cheerleading is an instant access key to popularity. I mean, who doesn't like cheerleaders? Their easy to get into bed with, their stupid so you can walk all over them, and they have good bodies because they don't eat.…

    Cheerleader: A Narrative Analysis

    There are good decisions and there are bad decisions, it is up to the person deciding to debate on which side of the line their decision falls on. It just so happens, the choice I made in 2013 was one of the best, most important decisions in my entire life. In the spring of my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to try out for competitive cheerleading. The question here is, “how did cheerleading change my life?” Well, thinking back to that year, I was in a dark place and I could not find hope anywhere, no matter how hard I searched. In the time spent cheering I found confidence, my best friend, and a reason to live.…

    Personal Essay: The Sport Of Cheerleading

    Stunting is where there is a group of 4 to 5 people. There are 2 bases one on each side. The bases lift up the flyer into a stunt. I’ve always wanted to be a base. There is also a back, the back holds the ankles of the flyer while they are into a stunt. The back also helps lift up the flyer into the stunt. The flyer is the main purpose of a stunt. The flyer gets lifted into the stunt, in many different ways. Sometimes there is a front, the front stands in the front of the stunt to keep the girl stable if she falls forward, it is very rare to have a flyer. I think stunting is the most exciting part of cheerleading. I think this because it is a group performing and learning new…

    Individual Business Proposal

    Triathlon participation in the United States is at an all-time high, following unprecedented growth over the last decade. USA Triathlon has tracked the surge through membership numbers, which surpassed 150,000 annual members in 2011 (USA Triathlon, 2012). It is difficult to pinpoint the exact causes for the growth of the sport, but the following factors played a part: society’s interest in fitness and healthy living, growth of total races across the country (more accessible sprint races), media attention on the sport, growth in 30-49 age group looking for varied outlets for fitness, and the ego reward of saying you “are a triathlete.” The demographics of a triathlete: 63% are married, 49% report white-collar jobs, average income is $126,000 with 23% average income over $149,000, 88.2% are Caucasian/White and spending 50% of dollars (discretionary income) on…

    Extreme Sports

    About 6,000 people die from extreme sports every year. Dying from extreme sports isn’t as uncommon nowadays, but people who love nature and have passion about the sport are willing to do it even if it means risking their own death. Rabindranath Tagore quoted, “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water”. What he meant here is that we can’t achieve our goals in life if we don’t commit to something and just hide ourselves in our own cave. Experts disagree on why people choose to do extreme sports but I think they do extreme sports to enjoy the peace and freedom that they get and they love it.…
