Alright, so you wanna know how to be one of them NFL cheerleaders, huh? Well, it ain’t just shakin’ your pom-poms and lookin’ pretty, let me tell ya. It’s a whole lot more than that. My niece, she tried out once, bless her heart, didn’t make it, but she told me all about it. So, listen up, and I’ll tell ya what I know.
First off, you gotta be good at dancin’. I mean, real good. Not just your grandma’s jig at a wedding, you know? These girls, they’re flippin’ and twirlin’ and doin’ all sorts of fancy moves. You gotta be flexible, like a dang rubber band, and strong too. Holdin’ those girls up in the air, that ain’t easy, I tell ya.
And it ain’t just about the dancin’. You gotta look the part too. Now, they say they don’t got height and weight requirements no more, but don’t you believe it for a second. You gotta be fit, real fit. No jigglin’ bellies allowed, you hear? You gotta be toned and tight, like a well-fed farm chicken, but not too thick, you know? Gotta have that cheerleader look, they call it. Pretty smile, sparkly eyes, and hair that bounces even when you ain’t movin’.
- Look the Part: Be fit and toned. Smile pretty.
- Dance Skills: Gotta be a real good dancer, with lots of energy.
- Be Strong: Cheerleading ain’t for weaklings.
Then there’s the auditions. Lord, have mercy, the auditions. My niece said it was like a cattle call, hundreds of girls all tryin’ to get the same few spots. You gotta learn a whole bunch of routines, and they test you on everything. Your dance moves, your smile, your personality, everything. And if you mess up, even a little bit, you’re out. Just like that. No second chances.
And even if you make the team, it ain’t all fun and games. These girls, they practice hard. Hours and hours every day, even when it ain’t football season. They gotta learn new routines all the time, and they gotta be perfect. No slacking off, no excuses. And they gotta travel all over the place, for games and appearances. It’s a tough life, I tell ya.
Now, let’s talk about the money. You’d think these girls would be rollin’ in dough, right? Wrong! They don’t make near as much as you think. My niece said they get paid somethin’ like $150 a game, and maybe a little extra for showin’ up at events. It ain’t much, not when you think about all the work they do. But I guess they do it for the love of the game, or somethin’ like that. Lord knows it ain’t for the money.
And another thing, you can’t be fraternizin’ with the players, you hear? No datin’ them fellas, no hangin’ out with them after hours. They got strict rules about that. You gotta keep your distance, be professional. It’s all business, you see?
So, you still wanna be an NFL cheerleader? Well, it ain’t easy, that’s for sure. You gotta be talented, dedicated, and tough. You gotta be willin’ to work hard, and you gotta be okay with not makin’ a whole lot of money. But if you got the passion, and you got the drive, then go for it, girl. Don’t let nobody tell you can’t do it.
In short, to become an NFL cheerleader, you gotta have the looks, the moves, and the stamina. It’s more than just cheering; it’s hard work, dedication, and a whole lot of practice. If you are interested in becoming one, be prepared for the challenge and get ready to dedicate a lot of time to it. And remember, even if you don’t make it at first, don’t give up! Keep practicing, keep trying, and who knows, maybe one day you’ll be out there on that field, shakin’ your pom-poms with the best of ’em.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. And if you got what it takes, then go on and shine, girl. You show them what you’re made of. But don’t forget what I told ya, it ain’t all sparkles and smiles. It’s hard work, sweat, and dedication. Now, go on, get to practicin’!
