when I was getting ready I used a book I’m not sure if this is the same book but I think so –it had suggestions of exercises to do and everything:

I answered your other question which was the same. I hope I helped!
Practice and practice perfectly. The only way to improve your ability is through lots of practice. Practice your motions, your cheers, your jumps and don’t forget to practice your facial expressions. Use a video camera to tape yourself, then watch it to catch any mistakes. Practice in front of a mirror or in front of other people. Strive to make your techniques perfect. Mentally visualize yourself executing everything perfectly.
Get plenty of sleep the night before.
Be confident. If you’ve practiced and worked hard up to this point, then you should be ready. Believe in yourself.
Keep your hair away from your face.
Don’t wear jewelry. Don’t chew gum.
Don’t wear a lot of makeup.
Wear your school colors.
Take slow, deep breaths to calm and relax yourself.
Drink plenty of water.
Have a good attitude. Help others. Don’t play around with your friends or talk too much.
Smile. Smile. Smile.
Be peppy and energetic. Show your enthusiasm.
Use facial expressions.
Look up.
Make your motions sharp and snappy.
Don’t sing your cheers. Use a loud, clear voice. Be careful not to rush them. Take your time.
Point your toes.
Land with your feet together.
If you make a mistake, go on. Don’t stop and stress over it. Use the opportunity to show you can recover from a mistake.
Have fun and let it show.
Good Luck!!
