Summary

As an Assistant Cheer Coach at Glen A. Wilson High School, I’ve gained hands-on experience in stunt technique, team motivation, and creating a positive training environment. I love helping athletes build confidence—whether that’s through breaking down a stunt, introducing new choreography, or offering the kind of encouragement that helps them push past their comfort zones. Safety and clear communication are always my priorities, and I work hard to make sure every athlete feels supported and heard.I’ve also taken on a lot of behind-the-scenes responsibilities, like planning practices, organizing schedules, and running team training sessions. I’m someone who naturally pays attention to detail, and I’ve learned how to balance multiple tasks while keeping practices fun, structured, and productive. I’m CPR/AED certified as well, so I’m prepared to respond in emergency situations if needed.Overall, I’d describe my coaching style as motivational, team-focused, and adaptable. I enjoy setting goals with the team, helping athletes grow both individually and together, and stepping in with problem-solving or conflict-resolution when challenges come up. Reliability, creativity, and steady leadership are things I bring to every season, and I’m committed to helping the program continue to grow.
