Lynsey is a Birmingham native with eight years of experience coaching cheerleading and tumbling. She cheered throughout middle and high school and graduated from Hoover High School. Those years were some of the most impactful and memorable of her life, helping shape her passion for athletics, teamwork, and personal growth. After high school, Lynsey pursued a career in cosmetology and is now a bridal hairstylist and owner of Perfectly Undone Beauty. Through this journey, God opened the door for her to coach cheerleading and tumbling—a calling that allows her to combine her love for athletics, mentorship, and encouraging young athletes.

Coach Lynsey's coaching style is safety-first, technical, hands-on, and thorough. She strives to help athletes feel prepared, confident, and knowledgeable by teaching not only how to perform skills, but also the mechanics behind them—because understanding the "why" often leads to lasting success.

Her coaching philosophy emphasizes proper technique, drill progressions, repetition, and individualized instruction. She proudly follows the motto of her high school Cheer Coach, Shane Martin: "Once is lucky. Twice is skill."

One of Lynsey's favorite quotes—and a principle she strives to teach every athlete—is:

"Good things take time."

Coach Lynsey is also passionate about strength and conditioning. She believes that both physical and mental strength play a vital role in athletic success and confidence, both on and off the mat.

Equally, she believes cheerleading should be fun. She fell in love with the sport because she genuinely enjoyed it, and that passion helped her grow as an athlete. Her hope is to help every athlete discover that same joy, confidence, and love for the sport throughout their own journey. Above all, Coach Lynsey loves encouraging athletes both inside and outside the gym. She is grateful for the opportunity God has given her to invest in the lives of young athletes and gives Him all the glory for that privilege.
