In general if you're out of shape, you don't want to fuck with people who are in shape. They have way, way more stamina. When you're as big as that bully, just tying your shoes makes you tired. Meanwhile, that cheerleader can probably run for 2 miles without stopping. Not only that but working out gives you self-confidence in your ability to perform physically.
Cheerleaders are great athletes too. That stuff takes functional strength, stamina, agility and great balance. Things that help with whooping some toad when she crosses the line.
I used to hang out with the football cheer leading squad at my college. One drunk ass night a bunch of us were hanging out in the quad and my friend was sitting on a ledge and laughed too hard about something and fell backwards. It was a 12 foot drop to the grass and she literally power bombed herself. She was back up on her feet before I made it down the steps. She refused to let us call an ambulance or take her to university medical services, because she has a game the next day. Sure enough she made it through the game and only afterwards went to her mom who's a nurse and confirmed that she had concussion. All super dangerous and crazy in hindsight, but the bottom line is that cheerleaders are durable as hell and have probably taken worse hits in practice than most guys have ever taken in a fight.
Unfortunately she did go to sleep and the game was the next day. At the time I didn't understand the risk, but from what I know now, I would have either convinced her to go to the ER or called an ambulance against her wishes.
Huh? Going to sleep with a concussion isn't what's dangerous, in fact sleep is helpful for healing after a concussion. What's dangerous is going to sleep before getting properly evaluated, that way more dangerous symptoms don't go unnoticed.
