Be a leader

as a cheerleader, you're so much more than an athlete. You're a leader in your school, community, group of friends-basically everywhere you go. Plus, you're so VK-ible, that more is expected of you than your peers when it comes to grades, personality and performance. It can be challenging to live up to the high expectations others have of you, but it's not impossible - it's all about making smart choices.

Team captains have to do this every day. It's not easy to lead your peers, and as much as being captain is an honor, it's also a big responsibility! As the crew chiefs of their team and the right-hand of their coaches, captains have to make decisions based on what's best for the squad, whether or not it's the most popular course. In high school, my best friend and I were our squad's co-captains. We ran a tight ship (No gum! Jewelry off! Work those hip flexors!), and let me tell you, some of our teammates were less than thrilled with us when we acted like mini-coaches. But in the end, they respected us because we always tried to do what was best for the team and our school. College cheerleader and captain Alicia Chouinard offers some great first-hand advice for leading your squad in "The Captain Files" on page 65.

A captain's job gets tougher when it comes to dealing with cliques on your team. Not all cliques are bad, but when they are, you can feel like it's straight out of a scene from Mean Girls. You don't have to be BFFs with every member of your team, but you do need to be a cohesive, supportive unit. If you hear nasty gossip, see disparaging posts online or catch wind of major rumors, help nip them in the bud! Not only is it the right thing to do, but it could also keep your squad from tearing itself apart. After all, if people were talking behind yourback, wouldn't you hope one of your trusty teammates would step in? You absolutely have to read "There's No 'Clique' in Team" on page 55.

A new cheer year is about to kick off, which makes right now the perfect time to stop bad cliques before they start with some big time B-O-N-DI-N-G. Check out The Brand New Bunch" on page 6 1 , and give your teammates a little TLC. After all, the team that plays together stays together!
