🌟 Wednesday Coach Spotlight 🌟 Today we’re highlighting Coach Moore! She leads our High School Cheer program and, although she hasn’t been with us long, she has already made a huge impact on our K-12 cheer program. We are grateful for the work and dedication she has already poured in, and we are excited for what is ahead for our cheerleaders. 💚📣 Who were/are your biggest influences as a coach? “One of my biggest influences was my dance teacher, Kim Morton. She constantly pushed me, and at the time I thought she just didn’t like me. When I finally asked her about it, she told me, ‘If I didn’t believe you were capable of being better, I wouldn’t say anything.’ That completely changed my perspective, and I’ve seen constructive criticism as a compliment ever since. Another major influence was my experience on the Farragut High School dance team. We went through multiple coaches, and during my junior and senior years we didn’t have one, so as captain I led practices. That experience inspired me to get into coaching and shaped my desire to be the coach I wish I had during those years.” What are your favorite aspects of being a coach? “My favorite aspect of coaching is seeing athletes shift from focusing on themselves to truly working for the team, and watching them begin to believe in themselves and each other the way I always have all along.” What are some of your favorite things to do outside of coaching? “When I’m not coaching, I enjoy making candles, walking or running in parks, spending time with my dog, and watching movies or playing video games with my two daughters.” 💚 Coach Moore has already brought great energy, passion, and leadership to our cheer program. We are thankful for the way she is investing in our athletes and look forward to all that is to come under her leadership. 💚 #WeAreSilverdale #CoachSpotlight #SBACheer #Pursuit

Basketball wasn’t just a sport to him—it was about legacy, and he made us believe we were a part of something much bigger than ourselves. He was a tough coach, but he got the best out of his team because we knew he believed in us.” -What are your favorite aspects of being a coach? “Seeing growth in players both in their play and in their character and being able to celebrate those moments with them.” -What are some of your favorite things to do outside of coaching? “I don’t have a lot of hobbies, but that’s okay because I would rather spend time with my family than anything else.” 💚 Thank you, Coach Squires, for the intentional way you invest in our athletes and the difference you make in their lives.
