WEEK 5 - Posting 5

Since I am already at my fieldsite quite frequently, I have been able to gather quite a bit of information on cheerleading. However, I am having trouble finding outside information on the subculture because it seems as though whenever I use a search engine, I can't seem to find the right keyword to use leaving me to find useless information for my assignment. 
Because I am an insider of this subculture, I do not feel as though i need to spend more time at it than I currently do presently. However, in the time that I do spend there, I plan to interview the coach of the All-girl squad and a few members of the team to get their personal thoughts. I feel that I am working at a good pace for this project and am getting a lot of useful information that I can use, but there is a lot that is left to do. I feel that I need to research the physical aspect of cheerleading; meaning, what kind of physical shape do the girls need to be in and the kind of diet that is recommended for them to have. Researching on the internet has been rather difficult thus far in my research and I am worried that I will not be able to find useful information with efficiency in the library or from other resources.
