About the Blog

My Goals

Welcome to the CheerFuse Blog! I am thrilled to have you here. Are you frustrated that people all over the country are doubting cheerleaders' athletic abilities? Do you find it confusing how so many people still take cheerleading stereotypes seriously? Are you concerned about the public perception of the sport? Well, you've come to the right place!

​

My passion for cheerleading began in middle school when I joined my first team, and has grown exponentially ever since. Although I love the sport, I am frequently criticized for my uniform, the "lack" of athleticism, and many other things that are typically associated with cheerleading. I am here to both share my passion for this sport, and use my voice to spread the truth behind the pom-poms.

 

This blog is called "CheerFuse" because I wanted to "fuse" my passion for cheerleading with my own experiences in the sport. Cheesy, I know, but I think it works! I can't wait to use this platform to share my thoughts with all of you!

Penelope Clark

Hi, I'm Penelope Clark and I've been cheering since fifth grade. I've been involved in school-based cheer since middle school, and I'm currently a varsity cheerleader at my high school. Fun fact: I'm a flyer and a tumbler, but I can also base! I'm also a varsity gymnast and a cheerleading & gymnastics coach! I'm glad you're joining me, and I can't wait to share my thoughts with all of you!
