The Science of Cheerleading is designed to help cheerleaders learn a little more about, well, the science of cheerleading! This isn’t a book to trick you into learning science. It’s designed to help you learn how and why certain cheerleading movements and positions work well (and how others can be improved).
We know that science is part of everything we do and love. People who study math, chemistry, physics, biology, and other science fields help us define and articulate rules (or scientific principles) so we can better understand how things work, and, how we can make things work better. Like forming a more solid pyramid or launching a higher basket toss with a precise (and safe) landing. Understanding the science, technology, engineering, and math inherent in cheerleading will help you achieve a greater understanding of cheerleading and, believe it or not, you will start to understand how the world works! The same world YOU will have an opportunity to shape.
