- Cheerleading is something I was born into. I made my forever friends and was coached by people who pushed me harder then ever. Becoming a coach was something I looked forward to for years and it’s a dream come true. Applying everything I learned over many years and teaching other athletes means so much. Watching kids become more then athletes to you and almost like little sisters and best friends is why I love coaching. Watching them grow up and move up levels, achieving more skills becoming better athletes is why I do what I do. They have such a big impact in my life and made coaching the most memorable and amazing thing in my life

- I love coaching because it is the most rewarding feeling watching the athletes you coach fall in love with the sport like you did. I also love watching them grow as not only athletes but as people, both inside and outside of the sport. My favorite thing about coaching is to watch the athletes grow over the years and take what you taught them as they move through the program.

- Cheerleading has given me more than someone who’s not involved in it could ever expect. It has brought so many phenomenal people into my life, whether they be coaches, teammates, or fellow athletes! I cannot even begin to think about the person I’d be if I never became a part of this crazy sport — so much of who I am is due in very large part to all those I’ve grown up with on those mats. Nothing quite feels like performing in front of a crowd amongst your teammates. Showing off a routine you’ve worked so very hard to perfect to the best of your abilities, to push through any little mishaps and give it your all no matter what happens out there. Nothing beats hitting that last motion of your dance and knowing without a doubt that you left it all on the mat. Now as a coach I always hope to pass on this huge amount of passion I have for this sport onto the athletes I get the pleasure of coaching. The only thing that beats performing your own routine to the best of your abilities is watching the kids you’ve seen grow and improve all season do the same. The proud feeling as a coach you get when your team walks off the mat after a great run is like no other!

- Cheerleading is a passion of mine and something that has always been a part of my life. I’ve been an athlete, a coach, a judge, a credentialing tester, and now a Cheer Momma. I love everything about cheerleading from practicing with my teams, meeting families and building relationships, fundraisers, fun events to build team unity, the music, dancing, stunting, jumping, tumbling, competition time, when my team is about to take the mat and when they perform I make sure I perform with them. The list just goes on forever. Now I get to share this passion and sport with my daughter Kynlee who has fallen head over heels for cheerleading and I could not be more proud of how far she has come in just four years. For as long as she sticks it out I’ll be right beside her every step of the way! I love my Pink Family!

To be a coach and teach young athletes the sport i can't live without is a blessing and its overwhelming how rewarding it is to watch our athletes grow into better athletes and better individuals, i believe this sport has so many benefits to our youth. PCA has been my family for 4 years know and I have been on the coaching staff for 3 and the atmosphere at the gym is amazing!!! Every coach does what they need to do for their own team they coach but are also very open to other coaching staff giving them advice or very helpful in giving another coach advice!! Pca is like my 2nd home , they welcomed me into there cheer family as if I was there since the beginning I love it here.
