Drafty Conclusion

To conclude, it is most certain that being a part of a tightly bonded team influences one’s self identity.  The cheerleading team studied exemplifies these characteristics in developing and finding their self-identities through one another.  The differences in this study, compared to the other studies done, are vital in understanding the positive aspects of being a part of a cheerleading team.  Although this research is based on a single case study, it can be concluded that there are positive aspects that come out of being a part of a cheerleading team.  This research sets a foundation for further understanding about the all-American sport that everyone loves.

In the future, further research should be done on other cheerleading teams about the positive aspects the sport brings to the athletes lives.  Besides from the research, most studies show the negative, gender aspects and cultural norms that most people already know about.  Unfortunately, the research shown was only concluded on one cheerleading team and there may not be enough information provided to make concrete conclusions about cheerleading as a whole.

This is just a sample!  I hope it is a good place to start though!
