GVA Families🩵
I am absolutely thrilled to officially introduce the newest member of our GVA leadership team, Coach Danielle! Many of you already know Danielle as a fellow GVA parent (mom to Adilynne and Jaclynne.) Toward the end of last season, Danielle stepped up to help me with planning and coaching. That support quickly blossomed into leading our summer camps, and I am proud to share that she has officially stepped into a permanent role as a GVA Coach AND our new Season Coordinator. While she is a fresh face to cheer coaching, she is an expert in youth development. For the past 10 years, she has worked across the valley teaching yoga and functional movement, directing Rooted in Nature Kids, leading Grand Valley Homeschool, and coaching social emotional skills at Social Roots.
Here is why Danielle is such an incredible asset to our athletes and families this cheer season:
💎 Elite Level Certifications 💎
Danielle spent her summer diving headfirst into top tier All Star Cheer education 💻 🤸🏼♂️
She holds a diverse portfolio of certifications ✨️
✨️USASF Certifications in both Tumbling and Building (Stunting)
✨️Cheer Coach Academy (CCA) Certification
✨️TC Hands On Certification through TumbleCon
✨️Specialized training in skill progressions, safety, and technique through the CCA.
Danielle's extensive background in anatomy and functional movement gives her a unique edge in teaching proper body positions and strength. She is fiercely focused on foundation as she believes in breaking down skills safely and mastering proper technique before progressing.
Furthermore, she is bringing her yoga and social emotional expertise into the gym to build the whole athlete. Our athletes will benefit from her Foundation First, Holistic Coaching Style. Body awareness, flexibility, and breathing techniques. Managing competition nerves, building confidence, and fostering a healthy training mindset. Essential education on athlete nutrition, hydration, rest, and muscle recovery through her work with The Cheer Nutritionist.
Danielle was once a new cheer mom herself, she knows exactly what it feels like to navigate this sport. She is using that exact perspective to streamline our operations. As Season Coordinator, Danielle is managing our handbook, calendar, fundraising, team bonding, and season planning to ensure your family always feels prepared and informed. If you ever have questions about the season handbook or need help accessing GVA materials, Danielle is your go to person and is always happy to help!
Please join me in giving Season Coordinator AND Coach Danielle a massive welcome❣️ We are so proud of the culture and standard we are building here at GVA, and we cannot wait to see how our athletes soar under her guidance this season 🩵
