HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITION COACH
SHARDAE FLOURNOY
Born in Nashville, TN but a Native to Georgia, I raised
in a structured but spiritual home. I have been re-
cording customized cheer raps for the last 6 years
withmany of the well-known All Star cheer teams
nationally and in Chile. Recently I was able to hear my
recordings on ESPN; what a blast that was!
I have been coaching since I was sixteen. My love for
children has been withinme for as long as I can re-
member; perhaps it stems from coming from a large
family. One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is
watching an athlete’s face light up after working hard
on a skill then finally accomplishing that skill. Anoth-
er reward is when they exit the stage after perform-
ing and come running towards me with open arms
and happy hearts because they did so well, not indi-
vidually but as a team. Moments like this are precious
and why I love to coach.
