And i honestly can say i have said everything and done everything plus i get nothing out of it anyway so HELP!

cheering in college
Posted Saturday August 30 2008, 10:39 am
Hey guys, I'm a senior in HS and I have been thinking about cheering in college. Overall I say I'm a pretty damn good cheerleader. I'm always the one to start the spiriting on the sidelines and I have the best jumps on the squad. I have good arm placements and I learn cheers and dances pretty fast. The only thing is I'm not the great on my faces, I smile, but I don't make good face expressions. I'm cheering the in Capital one bowl and the pro bowl in the coming months. I can tumble, but getting more tricks. I have a standing back hand spring, round off back hand springs, sometimes I will do three, just depends in I feel like I can. I have my round off back tuck, and I am currently working on my standing back tuck. So I think I have the ski...

Swimming and fitness
Posted Saturday August 30 2008, 3:28 am
I'm 17, a guy and i want to get involved with swimming. I was wondering whether or not i should wax or shave my legs? which would be the name for it? and whether or not it would cause ingrown hairs? should i go ahead and shave/wax my pubic area? I would also like to know how i should start my routine for swimming. what stretches, what should be a warm up, and how many 50 m laps should i do [one way on a olympic sized pool]. I would like to have a slimmer body, with nice abs and lower abs [like a abercrombie v cut]. how should i go about doing this?

Setting/volleyball
Posted Tuesday August 26 2008, 8:16 pm
This year, I made my high school's State Championship varsity volleyball team as a starting setter, I was so excited! However, I've completely lost my touch. Last year, I did great on my club team and on the JV level. Now I'm 2nd string and I'm not getting any playing time because another girl came up and can do 100times better then me.
I'm getting called on doubles all the time, my footwork is off, and I can't keep my sets at a consistent height or place. Can someone please give me some tips or let me know what you did if you got into a setting slump like I am.
Thanks a ton :)

How to tryout for Girls Volleyball in the Olympics?
Posted Sunday August 17 2008, 5:55 pm
I'm 14, going to be 18 by the next olympics. Im on the varsity team of my highschool, as a freshman (OH). But like.. I don't get the nomination process and all.
Do you just play really well and some scout will pick you out and it all happens or what? And also whats the shortest a Volleyball player has been in the Olympics? Cause now I'm nearly 5'5", though I probably will grow a couple more inches in the following years cause everyone else in my family is like just about 6'0"
. Luckily, I dont know how but I can jump really high, like me vs. my sister who's 5'9" i can jump just about as high as she can, while other kids my height, some can't even jump as high as the net or they're barely over....

Who is the shortest female indoor volleyball player in the Olympics?
Posted Sunday August 17 2008, 5:55 pm
Who's also an Outside Hitter?
And what was their height?
Also do you think I have no hope, because I'm 5'5" (the rest of my family is like between 5'9 and 6'0", but then again I'm only 14 so I guess I can still grow a few more inches.), and I'm pretty good and really can see possibilities with my future with volleyball, but the height thing keeps bothering me. I play the front outside hitter, because I can jump really high for my height (dont know how that happened but yay lol) and can block people nearly 6 feet tall (like my sister whos 5'10) and I'm good at it (people tell me this. im really not conceited) for a girl who's only played real volleyball (not gay school version) in club for 3 seasons. People us...

Quitting the Team....
Posted Monday August 11 2008, 5:03 pm
I've played volleyball for about 6 years- going into 9th grade- but I can't
stand the people on my team.
I really love volleyball and now that I'm going into high school, now is
when it starts getting serious.
However, I don't feel like part of the team because everyone on the team is
friends and I'm just kind of stuck outside of their crowd. Every time I go
to practice and a match, I feel like I don't belong there and it's getting
really irritating at how they treat me sometimes.
It's getting to the point where playing on the school team isn't fun
anymore and going to practices and matches just seems strenuous cause I
have to deal with their crap....

15/f
So I'm trying out for my school soccer team in a couple of weeks. The problem is my endurance is awful. I can only run for a couple of minutes without being completely wiped out. Are they any exercises or special workouts that I can do besides just straight running that will help build up my endurance? all help appreciated!
