Alright. So cheerleading tryouts are in a few days and I'm interested. There is a clinic tomorrow where I can learn the stuff to try out with. I haven't done cheerleading for 6 years. My question is; what can I do about nerves on the day of tryouts and how do I boost my confidence to feel like I'll make it? I really would like to make it. Thanks!

Like say u only had a handstand but someother girl had a full just thing to your self that i am the shit my handstand is the best ever. Just relax and say to your self i am the best.

When you are at the try outs you should try not to compare yourself to the other girls. The teachers or who ever is holing the tryouts are looking for hard working girls with certain bodytypes, and skills. If you try hard, then they will probably see that.
As long as you do the best you can, you will probably be rewarded for it, but don't get too down if you don't get it. Just make sure you leave the tryouts feeling like you've shown them everything possible. And if you don't get it, try out for something alittle less competitive.
Good Luck at tryouts, I hope you get on the squad!
Love,

Also everyone gets nervous for anything they have to try out for and they'r'e bound to mess up so you won't be the only one who might mess up.
