I'm Nicole Mosher and I'm a cheerleader...
While attending the University of Guelph, I decided to try out for the team. This was when I fell in love with this sport; I was hooked from the first tryout!
It didn't take long to learn that strength, dedication and teamwork were the qualities that made a good cheerleader. Within those first few hours, any stereotypes I held about "your typical cheerleader" were blasted away forever. This is a tough sport, these are real athletes and most of all, some of the best people I have ever met.
I have been a cheerleader for 8 years. I was a part of the U of G All-Girl team and later on their Co-Ed team. I have been a FlyGirl instructor and coached cheerleading teams in Nova Scotia and Alberta for the past 6 years. I am a member of the Calgary Xtreme Stunt Team for the Calgary Roughnecks Lacrosse Team. I currently coach the St. Mary's High School Cheerleading Team and the Calgary Xtreme Sparx (youth team), and the Calgary Xtreme TNT (junior team).
Outside of my many hours as a volunteer coach, I also serve as a volunteer on the board of the Alberta Cheerleading Association, in the capacity of their Calgary Zone Director, and I am an active volunteer for the Calgary Stampede. I have a full-time career in the oil and gas industry in Calgary. In 2003, I obtained a B.A. (Hon.) in Political Science from the University of Guelph .
Cheerleading has taught me a thousand life lessons. I am working to ensure others have a similar experience with this amazing sport.
THIS AIN'T YO MAMMA'S CHEERLEADING!
