Cheerleading
This is an interesting, if slightly dated, book about cheerleading and the hard work and dedication needed to gain a place in one of the top teams. The cheerleading young ladies are highly disciplined, extremely fit, beautifully dressed and very attractive. The book is well illustrated but even better pictures are now available on the internet. The book provides an interesting account of training, the dancing and the athletic moves involved. It would be nice to know more about the young ladies themselves who participate in this very competitive world.
