At the end of the stunt, her flyer falls to the cheerleaders supporting her, as round three of competition fin- ishes. She, along with an- other base and a backspot, need to be able to throw, carry, and catch another cheerleader. Without a strong base, a flyer can’t fly. Other cheerleaders rely on the base to keep safety to a minimum. “During round three of competition, you need to have a strong upper body to perform stunts like libs, heel stretches, and double downs.” Rose- man said. “Cheerlead- ing wouldn’t be possible without strong arms.” The Arms The Brains of the Op- eration: As the captain of the varsity wrestling team, Senior Dominic Wal- dorf must keep a strong head on his shoulders. He stays determined and fo- cused in order to win his matches.

Athletes need speed, athletes need strategy, athletes need strength. Sports require the full integration of those three for an athlete to come out on top. But not every sport is the same--different sports require dif-ferent muscles. The perfect winter athlete requires an eclecticism of anatomical anomalies.
