How come my cheerleading coach won't let me fly?
I am the most flexible on the team. I have a bow & arrow, perfect scale, and in my scorpian I have straight arms. Perfect right? I am the shortest one out of the whole team [5ft] and I weigh 100lbs. However I do have a lot of muscle, is this why? I flew last year for a few months and then she moved me down to a front spot. Last year I wasnt so concentrated because I had a heart problem but i AM getting better. I improved my stretches by A LOT. But my coach won't give me another chance to fly. Why is this?
I feel like my cheer coach hates me..?
I'm going to be a sophomore on JV cheerleading (which i'm pretty upset about) because I don't have good tumbling. So we have a new coach this year who didn't know any of us and is very, very strict. She has to coach both JV and varsity, but it's obvious she favors Varsity. However, she has favorites on JV, too.. i'm not one of them for some reason. My coach is always harsh towards me, though, even when I do everything right and have a smile on my face. I never miss a practice or anything. For example, we were practicing sideline cheers today and I was one of the only girls who knew all the cheers. My coach tried to correct me but she was wrong, so I told her (politely) that she wasn't right about it and she snaps "Not another word!" Also, I was flying in our stunt sequence for about 2 weeks and randomly she tells me that she wants another girl to fly instead of me, and the girl has never flown before... even my other teammates don't understand why the coach took me out. It just really upsets me that this new coach seems to not think i'm good enough or something. How can I get on her good side? I'm going to continue to do everything asked and better myself over the next year so I WILL make it on varsity. Any suggestions to get the coach to like me?
I think the cheer coach hates me?
Basically I had a few conflicts with extracurricular activities, but in the end I ended up quitting everything so that I could be committed to the team. Now, she basically hates me. Every day at practice, she picks on me endlessly, saying that I could do so many things better (and I love to take this criticism and improve my skills, but when others make the same mistakes and she ONLY picks on ME, then it gets to be a little annoying, and I basically have zero self confidence anymore). Today at the basketball game, my hand was bleeding and I asked her for a bandaid, and she just handed it to me without even looking at me or saying anything. Then, later on in the game, I caught her glaring at me. There are only about 2 months left in the season until nationals, and I really don't want her to hate me. Sure, I am not the strongest member of the team, but others make ALL the same mistakes that I do and she never says anything to them. Is there anything that I can do to get on her good side again? I have been working extra hard at practice, but that doesn't seem to make a difference, and talking to her won't help. What can I do?

Am I wrong in my reason to quit cheerleading?
I decided to quit my schools cheer team by not trying out for the fall sideline team. I have cheered for a few years and I love the sport, but hate the program. It is just not a good environment. During competition season, all the coaches want is to win, since my team is top in the state. My reason for not doing it is mostly because the girls on the team are really into drinking, smoking pot, and having sex. I don't judge them, but I don't want that for me and from what I've seen, the nicest girl can be changed into a pothead during one season on this cheer team. Sounds drastic, but its true. Also, the coaches are horrible and treat us like crap. They think that making you cry is the only way to get you to work hard. My question basically is, was I wrong for quitting something I love because I don't want to be associated with these types of people? I could have sucked it up? Plus, I think there is more to life than cheer, but that's not how it is when your on the team. It consumes your life and who your friends with. All your friends are cheerleaders or you only have a small group of friends and it was really hard for me to be friends with everyone like I try to be. Already from not doing cheer I have made new friends from people just talking to me and telling me that they didn't talk to me before because of the cheerleading team. Does anyone have experience with this type of situation? Any sports team, I am just wondering how to deal with giving up something you love because the people around you made it suck. I don't want to be defined as 'one of those girls' for the rest of highschool. Thank you so much:)
How to convince the cheer coach to let me be a flyer?
First off, I am NOT conceded. I've gotten so many rude comments on questions like this, just for being honest... Okaayy, so my middle school teams cheerleading is starting next week!(: I'm in the 8th grade. I'm NOT being full of myself, but I honestly am the best there. Not because I also do allstar, but because I really am. I can do most level 2 tumbling (which I know is not good but no one on my team can even do a cartwheel), pretty decent jumps, and my flying skills are definitely level 4 at least. I've cradled from extensions before, and the other girls on my team can barely stand in a prep 9and it looks awful) The problem? I'm 5'5 and 100 pounds. The girls on my team are about the same weight, but they are 4'11-5'4, making me the tallest. I feel like my flying abilities are being wasted on back spotting, when I'm not even a good backspot. In fact, I'm scared of back spotting. I really don't want another girl on my team to get hurt because of me, but my coach insists that I'm an amazing back spot... What should I say to my coach? Should I lose some weight? :( I'm so tired of our team being a laughing stock because of our awful flyers...
Why does my cheerleading coach make us shower naked together?
I'm a high school senior and am on the cheerleading team. Our new coach makes us all shower completely naked in front of each other. It's embarrassing being seen naked by other girls and I hate seeing them naked. Our last coach let us wear swimsuits. The first day with her, I refused to remove my swimsuit when she told me to do so. She said I had no choice and would remove it herself if she had to. She ended up actually doing so since I was not going to take it off. She undid my bikini top, removed and then pulled my bottom down to my ankles. I stood totally naked in front of her and I ended up showering that way. Help???
