In school cheerleading, I feel is very different from competitive cheerleading in the aspect that you are asked to sit on the sideline and, you know, coerce with all your teammates to try to get people in the stands to actually stand up and cheer, which is your whole point. And so you get up and you do a lot of cheers and you do a lot of clapping and stomping around. And, competitive cheerleading is very different in the fact that cheering is not involved, at all. It's all athletic and acrobatic, and, you know, it's all about flexibility and strength and teamwork. And so you can't even compare it. It's like apples and oranges. In collegiate cheerleading your base of fans is so big that you're forced to constantly, for seven...I mean, however long the game is, we were involved in a game against Ohio State. And, I can't remember, it was probably my junior year of college, where it went into triple overtime. So I think the entire game ended up lasting six hours. So you're out there jumping around as big as you can 'cause to the people at the very top in the nosebleed section, you're like an ant. And they're expected to be able to get out of you what they paid for, and, you know, expecting to be involved in the overall college experience of coming to a football game. But, you're, you know, you're constantly jumping around, moving around, using signs and shaking your pom-poms and jumping up and down. And so it gets pretty intense that way.
