Breathing deeply keeps you calm and centered in this difficult posture, and allows you to function optimally during the stunt. This is a tried and true tip from the ballet world, called "spotting," which results in activating your core and refocusing your center of gravity while spinning or in the air. "Spotting" prevents loss of balance and centers your posture. Remember that you'll be in the needle in unpredictable circumstances: perhaps you'll be moving sideways or dismount with a twist. Wearing different shoes, including shoes other than your cheerleading shoes, changes the placement of your toes, the ball of your foot and heel, which mimics the movement of your foot while it's in the hands of your bases. Better to practice ahead of time so that you can handle all sorts of circumstances.

TL;DR in Indonesian:
Bernapaslah dalam-dalam saat melakukan needle. Berfokuslah pada sebuah titik di kejauhan, yang terletak pada dinding dalam posisi sedikit lebih tinggi dari mata Anda. Berdirilah pada berbagai permukaan dan ulangi needle. Kenakan sepatu yang berbeda dan ulangi needle.
