Hi there! My name is kylie Thompson I have almost 5 years of coaching experience and was an athlete myself with over 13 years of experience I have won Worlds and NCA. What inspired me to be a youth coach is my love for the sport and wanting to see and share my knowledge so that other kids enjoy it the same way I did. My philosophy when it comes to coaching is to get down on a personal level with the athletes so they feel like it’s a safe space. I support my athletes by supporting and encouraging them to be the best versions of themselves.

Hello, my name is Liam Bennet, and I began my Cheer journey over 10 years ago as part of the Intensity Athletics Family. I am a Multi-National Champion, including the Summit of 2022. I have learned so many amazing life skills in Cheer, and now using my strengths of tumbling and stunting, I can teach and help build strong and dedicated athletes that share the same passion for the sport that I have. I come from a place of support, motivation, and encouragement to help athletes see their own personal potential. 

Hi there! I’m Coach Mercedes, with nearly ten years of coaching experience, I aim to leave a lasting impact on athletes by instilling self-belief and resilience through challenges on and off the mat. I cheered competitively and in college, driven by the mentality that anyone can achieve anything with determination. Though I do a little bit of everything, my true passion is tumbling. I am a firm believer that consistency and solid foundations are the key to excellence in any skill at all levels. Being a part of this sport has given me some of my most favorite memories and molded me into the person I am today, this is exactly what I hope to give each athlete that walks through our doors!
