my cheer tryouts start in 2 days and last for 4 days. i had surgery last week on my mouth, so im worried! i probably can do jumps ok, but im worried about tumbling and stunts. i have a video of my tumbling, but that was when i was just learning, so its by myself, but not very good. would you suggest showing the video, trying to tumble and stunt, or giving my coach a dentists note, but tell her ill try my best? i dont want to give a note because i dont want to make excuses, but idk. i was on jv last year, and im trying for varsity, so im hoping that will help, but i dont want to be like i got surgery wahh wahh i cant tryout. and im dying to make it this year what to do?

So no, I don't think you should give them a note. They will think you're making excuses, which you are, and that you're using a "crutch." Just try your besy and I'm sure you will do great!

Tell her you aren't trying to make excuses. Let her know you have been working hard. Don't show a video that won't show off your skill unless you have to. Make sure to talk to her in advance. And the first week after dental surgery is the worst, so who knows where you will be in two days? My guess is that you will be feeling much better! Good luck!
