Recent "Ask A Cheerleader" question

Rebecca in Aurora, CO:

Do you do anything to calm your nerves? I get so nervous before auditions and performing at games and I can't seem to beat it.

Nerves during auditions are a good thing! It means that you care about the outcome. The best thing to do is channel that nervous energy into adrenaline and excitement. Consider bringing an mp3 player with your favorite calming music or pump up music to get you energized while you wait for your audition. Envision yourself wearing that uniform, performing for the crowd, making the judges smile and nod their head. And practice practice practice that audition routine.... because if the nerves get the best of you and cause a momentary lapse, you'll know the material so well you can jump right back in without it affecting your confidence. Best of luck!
