meet the coaches

 My coaching philosophy centers around building the confidence in each and every athlete by pushing them to believe in themselves while learning new skills. I also promote a focus on inclusiveness, so each member feels like a true part of the team and to help build lasting friendships amongst the cheerleaders. These relationships will also allow the cheerleaders to work together and perform well as a team.

 My philosophy for coaching is to encourage the kids to work hard and push themselves in their capabilities and to not give up with positive reinforcement and goals. To build a strong relationship with the team as a whole so we can all work together to improve ourselves daily and form a close bond. I want every kid to have a positive and uplifiting cheerleading experience.

First and foremost, I want the kids to have a great experience. I want them to enjoy and be excited to come to practice. 7th and 8th graders already have alot on their plates and I dont ever want them to feel overwhelmed. I want to be there to motivate and help them in any way I can. I want them to stay positive and grow in their cheer journey. I want them to learn how to make a great team work and come together. There will always be tough times, but with guidance they will be able to navigate through it.

As a coach, I want to be able to teach my team the importance of trust above all else. Trust is the foundation to everything

we do on our HAJFL team: the cheerleaders need to trust us to guide and teach them; coaches need to trust the team to do

their best; parents need to trust that we will do right by their children; and the cheerleaders need to trust each other to do

their part to keep each others safe. I believe that expectations of all parties (myself included) need to be set early on, that the

cheerleaders need to be coached as individuals just as much as they do as a team, and that the coach needs to treat each

cheerleader as an individual and learn what coaching style each cheerleader responds best to, which all goes back to trust.

When it comes to coaching I believe that communication and trust are huge! Also being a good role model to the ones you are coaching! It’s super important to trust your teammates. Communication is also a big thing amongst teammates to be able to express how they feel to eachother and work together! With communication being able to trust and communicate with your coaches as much as teammates is just as important when it comes to team related things or even just needing someone to lean on!

I believe coaches can have both a structured environment along with having fun. Having both components not only prepares our littles for the future, but gives them the sense that what they are doing means something and that their actions and behaviors can have both a positive or negative impact on the team as a whole. The team aspect is balanced out by the sum of the individuals that make up the team and everyone's involvement is crucial to the team's success. It is important to keep the team on task and develop them with proper sportsmanship and gamesmanship. Not every practice or game will go as planned, but you can always learn something from each experience that you go through. I really enjoyed all of the coaches last season and look forward to meeting the new coaches that are joining the league. 

 My coaching philosophy is to provide the cheerleaders with a positive experience in the sport. I want to bring them knowledge and guidance. I want to help guide them into becoming strong and confident individuals both in cheer and in life. We have the ability to help these young children realize their potential, to teach them about perseverance, what it means to be part of a team. As a coach, we’re not just teaching them routines, jumps, and chants. We have the opportunity to be their role model too. The impact we can leave on these athletes and the lessons we teach, can very well stay with them throughout their time in the sport and in life. That’s why I coach! 

 Having an environment that encourages athletes to learn and develop on and off the field. Practice and having fun are important at this age. Learning discipline with help our athletes grow as a cheerleader and as an individual .  

My coaching philosophy  is to have an environment that encourages athletes to be their selves and to learn and develop new skills. Making memories, new friends and enjoying themselves along the way. 

 My coaching philosophy is built around inspiring the cheerleaders to becoming confident cheerleaders, while encouraging them to learning new skills and improving on existing ones. I also believes in building a strong team that supports and encourages one another.  

 This age should be about learning proper technique and building on it. I feel that proper technique is the foundation to a SAFE, fun experience. I also feel it is important for the girls to have a little awareness of how football works. Nothing crazy but what is offense, defense, is some one injured. It should be a fun environment, but also with discipline to make the most of practice time.  I would plan to use games to help perfect moves and placements and make sure all tumbling/stunting has adequate spotters and instruction.  

 My philosophy would be fostering a culture of safety, teamwork, individual skill development, and dedication. Focusing on the athlete’s wellbeing and building a foundation of trust and security. Fostering an inclusive and respectful atmosphere. I want all our athletes to feel safe and valued. Encouraging communication and cooperation along with constant support, as well as letting each member know their roles are vital to the success of the team. Skill development would be ensuring that every member has a strong foundation in basic cheerleading techniques and always providing constructive feedback as well as celebrating all the small victories. I would like to instill a strong work ethic and dedication to practice and improvement from the beginning. Setting clear expectations regarding attendance, the athlete’s effort, and accountability. Creating goals throughout the season short term and long term and ensuring we are always on track to accomplish them. Lastly, to have fun! As we grow their mental toughness, I would want to ensure they are still having fun and not becoming burned out. By combining some of these principles I can help create a positive and enriching experience for our cheerleaders, as well as helping them succeed on the field and personally.  

 I believe a job of a cheerleader is to create an atmosphere that is so thick with excitement it can be felt in the stands!!!   Positive energy and reinforcement to show the cheerleaders that they are capable of achieving and creating such environment.   I want to make it fun, while still having productive practices that show the team hard work and dedication to a shared goal leads feeling confident and happy.

My coaching philosophy revolves around creating an inclusive and encouraging atmosphere where each participant feels valued and supported. I am committed to helping the athletes build not only their cheerleading skills but also their self-esteem and teamwork abilities. Through structured and positive coaching methods, I aim to inspire a love for the sport while fostering an environment that promotes personal growth and achievement.

I believe by encouraging our young cheerleaders to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and celebrate successes will not only build their confidence but also instill a sense of determination and resilience. Through our coaching skills, we are able to inspire them to dream big, set ambitious goals, and work hard to achieve them. With the right mindset and support, our girls can conquer any obstacle and shine brightly both on and off the cheerleading mat!

My coaching philosophy centers around developing not only strong cheerleaders but also good people. I believe that sports are a character-building arena and I aim to shape athletes who are not just skilled but also possess strong moral integrity. My goal is that each cheerleader comes away from the season with a stronger love for the sport, with an increased confidence in their ability to perform, and with a group of lifelong friends.  

 To have an enviornment that encourages our young athletes to develop and grow. Providing a strucuted learning environment that will challenge them while providing encouragement and support. Coming with a positive attitude and an open mind will allow our athletes to grow on and off the field. Teaching them about working together as a team and not always as an individual. We will get better each and every single day as a group.
