Hi, I’m Ashlie!
I fell in love with cheerleading at a young age and quickly discovered how powerful the sport can be in shaping confidence, teamwork, and discipline. I competed in both All-Star and high school cheer throughout my youth, gaining experience in stunting, tumbling, and performance while developing a deep appreciation for the dedication the sport requires.
My coaching career began over a decade ago when I started coaching high school cheer. Over the course of more than ten years as a high school coach, I had the privilege of helping athletes grow both on and off the mat. During that time, I focused on building strong fundamentals, developing leadership within teams, and creating an environment where athletes could challenge themselves while feeling supported.
In addition to coaching, I’ve also spent the past nine years as a cheer mom, which has given me a unique perspective on the sport from both the coaching and parent side. That experience has helped me understand what athletes need to succeed, what parents value in a program, and how to create a positive, athlete-focused culture where families feel confident in the development of their athletes.
Throughout my years in cheer, I’ve been passionate about helping athletes not only improve their skills but also grow in confidence, resilience, and character. Cheer has the ability to shape young people in incredible ways, and being part of that journey is something I care deeply about.
Opening Icon Athletics is the realization of a long-held dream. Our goal is to build a program where athletes feel challenged, supported, and proud to represent their team, while developing strong fundamentals and a lifelong love for the sport.
