• Volunteered to help the JV team so the coach and assistant could focus on the Varsity team. 
• Practices consisted of teaching the cheerleaders the fundamentals of cheerleading which included, but was not limited to: Stunting, dancing, half time routines, tumbling, proper conditioning, motion drills, and more.
  

• Paid individual attention to every squad member and pointed out their strengths and encouraged them to work on their weakness. Goal setting is a major factor in helping a team/athlete better themselves. I do not believe in negativity as motivation.
• Displayed conduct before the students and the community to instill respect and good sportsmanship. As a coach, you are a role model. If your athletes see you displaying good behavior, they will follow suit.

•  Reopened the program in 2008, including filing of all the appropriate paperwork for a 501C-3 organization. I am excited to say, this program is still thriving in that community today.
• Found and interviewed cheerleading coaches for 6 teams in the youth program.
• In charge of fitting and ordering uniforms for over 50 cheerleaders.
• In constant contact with the parents, coaches, and board members to ensure everyone was being provided for. If there was an issue it was resolved immediately and without conflict. 

• Prepared schedules and conducted practice session for the squads.
• Determined the regulations regarding schedules, team spirit, sportsmanship, and more...ensuring that the cheerleaders adherence to these rules.
• Encouraged the cheerleaders to make constant improvement. Motivated them on upgrading their performance by using fun games, providing treats, or special prizes. Positive reinforcement will get kids motivated more than negative.
• Created an Emergency plan and practice it with the cheerleaders once a month. This plan includes such things like, who is in charge of calling 911 if the coach is injured and unresponsive. Cheerleaders sign this acknowledging they know what to do.
• Prepared and handed out Cheerleading guideline booklet. This includes a page that the parent and cheerleader must sign, saying they agree to the cheer program rules. There is always room for discussion if there is a concern. Being open minded to new things helps programs thrive.
• Managed team cohesiveness and established sound coordination between members and their activities. A cheerleader is a student, and as such I believe they should be involved in as many activities as possible. I am flexible when it comes to practice times, because you only get to live through your high school experience once. I want it to be the best experience for not only my cheerleaders, but the students and faculty they are representing.
• Instructed athletes on healthy stretching, lifting, and jumping techniques. Proper conditioning everyday is the KEY TO AVOIDING INJURY.
• Created an environment conducive to learning and appropriate for the physical, social, and emotional development of students.
• Provided supervision of athletes at all times.Cheerleaders are never left alone during practice or games.
• Taught the fundamentals of each sport the cheerleaders are cheering for. For example, if they don't know the basic rules of football/basketball/volleyball etc., they will not know what is going on when they are cheering at the games.
  
• Promoted awareness of the cheerleading team by providing information to the principal and other relevant audiences about the team's activities. 
• Provided social media pages for the cheerleading team so we could positively promote our cheerleading team, and the proud parents could share their child's hard work.  

By having Cheerleaders involved in community service, it not only unites them as a team, but it strengthens the bond between the community and the kids. When time and effort is committed to an organization or cause, the kids benefit by feeling a sense of fulfillment within themselves, and that is not something that can be “taught,” but it is a life experience that will stick with them forever. I am involved in community events in many ways, and encourage my cheerleaders to do the same. A few of these events include:

• Organized and choreographed a special performance for the OHYFCL Cheerleaders held at a business after hours Chamber event, with the guest of honor being the current Mayor of Oak Harbor.
• Choreographed a routine for Explore Whidbey Event held in October 2014 –A special exhibition of the Oak Harbor Youth Cheerleaders at OHHS Vendor Trade Show.

• Taught an Extra Curricular Cooking Program benefiting the students of Broadview Elementary. 2012-2014
