Miranda D.

With 27 years of involvement in the cheerleading world, my coaching and training experience encompasses various roles and levels within the sport. Starting as an athlete on the sidelines and in an all-star gym, I engaged in private coaching. Over the years, I transitioned to coaching Junior High and assisting with Varsity teams, also participating as a competition judge. Currently, I manage a cheerleading program at a K-12 school, concurrently coaching both Varsity and Junior High teams. This diverse coaching background spans different environments, including all-star gyms and school settings. Working with athletes ranging from grades K-12, I have gained valuable insights into coaching various age groups. Holding NFHS spirit certifications, I am committed to furthering my expertise with plans to acquire additional certifications in STUNT, tumbling, and sports nutrition. This comprehensive experience along with my passion for cheer positions me well to help your athlete not only thrive, but continue to love our sport!

I was the first to be awarded the achievement of All American at my high school in FL. I have medaled competing individually and with my teams at both state and national level. I was selected to compete for National Cheerleader of the Year, placing in the top 10. I cheered on the sidelines at the University of South Florida and competed with them for 2 years. Go Bulls!

Whether an athlete is a newcomer to cheer, gearing up for tryouts, aiming to enhance their skills, or a seasoned cheerleader ready to reach new heights, my commitment is evident from our very first meeting. We kick off with a thorough warm-up to prioritize safety, followed by targeted drills to enhance motion sharpness, improve jumps, and build stronger tumbling skills. Incorporating stretching to boost flexibility and conditioning for overall strength in cheerleading aspects, we ensure a holistic approach to skill development.

Drawing inspiration from my experience as a former collegiate cheerleader, I am big on having a lot of spirit. Together, we work on bringing out your athlete's best performance, whether on the field, court, or mat. My ultimate goal is to have athletes leave our sessions feeling accomplished, empowered, and genuinely excited about their cheerleading journey.
