I was going to try out for cheerleading this year (but got really sick on the day of auditions ;-;) and attended all five days of clinic so that helped. I’m also naturally flexible and try to stretch everyday so yeah. The coach had this exercise where you and another person sit on the floor facing each other with your legs spread and then you grab each other’s arms and you take turns pulling each other to the floor for half a minute and I think that upped my flexibility. Before that I couldn’t do a split at all, but now I can do front splits (left and right) but no side split D: I’m working on it though.
