Project

__Goals__: One goal of my project is to explain how cheerleading is just as athletic as any other sport and should therefore be considered a sport. A second goal of my project is to prepare a practice session for both the cheerleaders and football players. The third goal of my project is to communicate the athleticism of cheerleading. A fourth goal I plan is to conclude that cheerleading is a sport and therefore should be considered one. A final goal of my project is to interpret the athleticism and skill required in cheerleading in comparison to football.

__Vision__: How will my project impact other people after I have completed it? I hope to get respect for the cheerleaders and get more awareness on the work and atheticism of cheerleaders. This will show people that cheerleading isn't just an activity that requires no effort and that cheerleading is truely a sport. How will my project relate to my thesis question? I am going to switch practices between the football players and cheerleaders. I will have the football players take a survey on athleticism and what a sport entails and see if they can do the things that cheerleaders do. Likewise, I will see if the cheerleaders can do what the football players can do to see if the cheerleaders are as athletic as the football players. How do I foresee my project concluding? I foresee that the football players will not think that cheerleading is a sport and will say no to all of the questions regarding cheerleading. Then, I will see if they can do what cheerleaders do that is considered athletic and show that this is considered a sport and for them not to be able to do if with great ease.

__Products__: How will I demonstrate/evidence that I conducted my project? I will have a series of surveys filled out from the football players and take pictures of both cheerleaders and football players doing the components of a sport.
