Question
hi, i want to cheer for the coed squad at my university. i have no vocabulary of cheer, and am not familiar with any of the technicalities associated with it. they have always cheered for me, and I've always wanted to cheer.  would you be able to help me make the squad? i need to be able to do a toss shoulders and hands extension, not only do i doubt i am strong enough for that, but i do not know what it is.  if you could give me some detailed pointers on workouts/ tips for making this happen, i would greatly appreciate it. this is not something that i just wanted to do overnight either, i have wanted to cheer for 5 years now, but my school would not take males on the squad.  this is something i want to do, and am willing to work very hard for.  i have talked with the coach, and she is very excited i showed interest, and told me about some clinics, but i want to get a head start. and one other thing, i am a freshman trying out in April. thanks James

Answer
This sounds like the question I already answered. If its not feel free to let me know. If it is good luck and feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have. Also I can provide you with photos (if it would help) of me and some of my partners to use as examples of different stunts so that you can know what everyone is talking about.
