i worked my butt off and i didn't make it,
I was so upset for days and days but i knew i couldn't change no matter how bad i wanted to play i knew i couldn't.
You just need to give yourself time to get over it,
Its a bad feeling, Believe me i know it is.
May i suggest your favorite ice cream, and a good movie with a good friend,
Just remember even thought you may of not succeeded at this, this time.
You will succeed in many other things.
Perhaps you should practice and try out next year.
It'll get better I promise

This doesn't mean you blew it, sucked outright etc. You didn't at all. There is lets face it with anything people do or try for someone who is always more advanced pr a bit better. Sometimes, they get chosen over us.
Does this mean you aren't meant to be a cheerleader? Nope. They come looking for you next year or if someone moves on or cannot perform. Anything can happen. It could mean that there's something even better out there for you that cheerleading may have prevented you from doing. This is almost always the case.
The second thing to know is that getting angry about this or at the people who made it is the worst thing you can do. Why? They cannot feel your hostility towards them but you can.
Those feelings of anger towards them will eat away at you and make you sick until you let go and move on. It's not these girls fault they made it and you did not.
Any one of them could be in your position and I'm sure other girls were too. It's not a personal thing against you that you didn't succeed this time out. The smart thing to do is to approach the coach and ask why you didn't make it.
Use what they tell you to practice to become better and if there's an opening this year or next you stand a big shot. The bottom line is to let go of your anger or it will hurt you.
Volleyball2150 answered Saturday April 7 2007, 6:31 pm: just forget about it. Keep telling yourself that you are going to tryout next year and you are definitally going to make it. Even though you aren't on the squad, doesn't mean you still can't cheer. Practice cheering and prepare for next year. So that way next year you will make it. Just forget about it and focus on preparing for next year.
