I have pain when doing cheerleading...?!
Question: I have pain when doing cheerleading...?
I am practicing for cheerleading tryouts (Thursday) and when I do a cartwheel, I have a really bad pain when I do a cartwheel. Is this caused by anything? Any advice?
Answers:
Have you stretched properly before practicing the cartwheels? If not then chances are you'll have pulled a muscle. Even just little things like cartwheels, handstands and forward rolls; make sure you stretch otherwise theres a chance of injury. If you have pulled a muscle then hopefully it will be gone by tryouts. If not then maybe you could explain your situation, tell them you can do a cartwheel, and they may ask to see it later on when it doesn't hurt. Good Luck!!
