   Perhaps you may get questions like:

   - What would you do if a girl/guy gets hurt while jumping, stunting, etc.?

   - How would you handle disputes between the team members?

   - What are your stratigies and goals for this team?

   - And probably questions about how you coached in you hometown high school.

   14) By being a part of the squad, are you accepting the fact that your actions are more prominent than those who are not associated with such an activity?
   15) Are you ready to accept the fact that there are no excessive public displays of affection which is condisdered very unapproriate?
   16) Have you been a part of any extracurricular activity for the school or the community? Did you have any leadership experience within the organiziation?
   17) If your advisors or captions are asking you to do something that you do not want to do but it is a reasonable request (not illegal or demeaning), how would you handle the situation?
