skirts? Not anymore. Take an exhilarating trip through the
rough-and-tumble world of competitive college cheerleading....

the air, build pyramids in which a single slip can send ten people
crashing to the ground, and compete in National Championships that
are won by hundredths of a point. "Cheer!" is a year-long odyssey
into their universe, following three squads from tryouts to
Nationals.

Nacogdoches, Texas, whoseem destined to win their fifth National
Championship in a row -- until they are shaken by the departure of
their longtime coach. Fall in love with the Southern University

hoping to raise the $17,000 needed to travel to Nationals and
transform their near win several years ago into a Cinderella
victory. Root for the University of Memphis All-Girl cheerleaders
from Tennessee -- a team that continually struggles for the same
respect Coed teams get -- when their quest for a national title is
threatened by injuries and dropouts.
Along the way, meet unforgettable characters like Sierra, a
cheerleading prodigy who has never lost a competition; Doug, who is
in his eighth year as a college cheerleader; and Casi, one of the
few female bases who can lift anothercheerleader on her own. These
are people who risk horrifying injuries on a daily basis, battle
demons like eating disorders and steroid use, and form intense
bonds.

a captivating, all-access journey into a deeply absorbing
world.

The first international biography of Niels Bukh (1880-1950), the
charismatic founder of the special Danish school of modern
gymnastics. His team of young elite gymnasts travelled around the
world demonstrating his gymnastics, and in Japan his school is
still attracting thousands of pupils. Bukh's private life and his
fascination with the German Nazi party makes him a very
controversial figure even fifty years after his death. Includes a

Gymnastics Journal. Keeping a gymnastics journal is a great way to
set goals and preserve memories. There are spaces for gymnastics
competition scores, event goals, future goals, and much more! You
should have enough space for more than one season of meets. In one
journal you'll be able to track your progress and your goals from
year to year. Written by a very experienced coach, she helped her
gymnasts set goals, achieve them, and even surpass them often.
Karen Goeller's gymnasts have been State Champions and National

Gymnastics drills and conditioning for the Walkover, Limber, and
Back Handspring. These drills were used to produce several
successful gymnasts. The drills included in this book break down
the skills into easy to understand body positions and movements.
There are some drills that should help those gymnasts not yet
confident enough to reach back to a bridge from standing, while
other drills train the muscles necessary to perform these movements
with ease. Many of the drills and exercises can be used for
flexibility training with more advanced gymnasts.
