Hi my name is Sydney! I have been coaching at Dynasty for 6 years and cheering at dynasty and elite academy since I was 6 years old. When I first started at elite I tried a few dance classes and the teacher pulled me aside and told me I had a lot of energy and suggested I tried I cheer or tumbling class. That was definitely the right choice for me haha. I did a few years of rec cheer and then moved up to all star where morgan was my coach. I only had one year when I was not coached by morgan for my 8 years of all star. I always looked up to morgan and wanted to be just like her and now we get to coach together and it is so much fun!! Side story morgan actually gave me a Future Coach Award at an end of year banquet when I was younger. My first year coaching was in 2019, it was a Y2 team called jewels and no one could have asked for a better first year. Jewels had an awesome year and they ended up taking 2nd at summit. plus I got to coach with Hill and everyone knows she’s freakin amazing. I have coached levels 2-5 loved every minute of it. My teams have taken 2nd, 3rd and 6th at summit, still waiting for the 1st place *wink wink* This year is the first time I am coaching 2 teams, passion and reputation and it has been so much fun getting to know new athletes and prepping for this new season.
I work in an office right now but I feel like I have a hundred jobs with all of my hobbies! I had a custom sugar cookie business that I started in high school. I have done vinyl printing, embroidery, planned and decorated charity events, made hand stamped jewelry and so many others that I can’t even name. I love to be creative and I am always coming up with new craft things to do. I have always said I would make a great team mom haha. I love making little gifts or planning fun games for my teams to bring a little bit more fun into practice.
When I am not at the gym i’m usually up at my cabin boating or fishing with my family or at an utah football game. I am about to move into my first house in September with my boyfriend Nathan. I am a disneyland addict and will go as much as I can, my dream job would be a disneyland holiday decorator and make disney Christmas decor all year long.
Cheer has always been apart of my life, I learned so much growing up with steph and morgan. I always felt like I had a safe space to go when I was having a bad day. It was my home away from home. I became a coach because I wanted to be a role model for other kids like my coaches were for me. I want to be their biggest supporter, who they come to when they are having a hard time, and help them become the best people they can be. My biggest goal for this season is for everyone on my teams to achieve their personal goals and feel proud of themselves. If that’s means learning to kick over in out of that backbend, learning a new stunting position or being in the front of dance section. One of the best things in the world is to watch an athlete achieve something they never thought they could do and seeing how proud they are when they finally reach that goal. All of my athletes are so talented this year and I have no doubt they will be super successful. I am so excited for comp season to start!
