After working with Malea I was able to learn so much about college stunting so quickly. I felt very confident walking into Alabama tryouts after preparing with her. She was always able to give great feedback which helped me pick up on things quickly.

When I was recovering from my ACL surgery and learning to stunt, Malea made all the difference. Coming in with barely any knowledge on how to group stunt, I was able to jump right into a collegiate group and focus on my technique. Malea helped me learn and perfect my technique on so many skills, from full ups, back handspring ups, to front ariel 1.5 ups. Malea helped me grow so much as a cheerleader, and she serves as an amazing role model and mentor for younger athletes crossing the bridge to becoming a collegiate cheerleaders.

I honestly owe so much to Malea! I was a gymnast for my entire life, and the thought of cheerleading never even crossed my mind. My junior year, I joined my high school’s stunt team and then the cheer team my senior year. Doing stunt privates and being able to learn the right technique gave me the confidence to do so much! Now I'm cheering in college, living a dream I didn't even know I had, and it's all because of her!

I started working with Malea as a back spot wanting to be a side base. When I started working with her it was my senior year of high school and I thought I had no chance of making any college team. I was learning a new position just months before the tryout process started, so naturally I was discouraged. After just a few months I was doing skills I didn’t even know were possible for me to do. Working with Malea truly helped me so much not only to gain skills for college cheer but it kept me confident going into tryouts and clinics. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for Malea’s stunt privates.

Doing privates with Malea over the past years definitely played a huge role in my growth as a cheerleader. She helped me build strong, consistent standing and running tumbling while always pushing me to be better and supporting me when I was frustrated. Her coaching truly prepared me for college tryouts and gave me confidence in my skills.

Malea was fantastic to work with! She is a hard worker, knowledgeable in all things cheer related, wants you to succeed, celebrates your wins with you, and doesn’t give up when working on skills. She made the transition from high school to elite level college skills seamless and fun. While she taught me numerous elite skills and improved my technique, I was able to teach her about STUNT. Even though her background was different from STUNT, she picked up the routines and skills with ease. After recovering from a season ending injury my freshman year, she worked with me to build my confidence in my body and my skills while keeping everything fun and low pressure. Malea provided a fun atmosphere, while keeping the focus on learning skills, improving technique, and getting the reps in. Working with her is a big part of how I got to where I am now!
