Out of all sports cheerleading has 66% of all catastrophic injuries. A lot of people see cheerleaders as just girls that stand on the sidelines and cheer for their team. Maddie Gardner was and is one of the most well known allstar cheerleaders in the world she said “If you fall you might get hurt, and if you do try your hardest to suck up the pain and move on, or you will be replaced.”
