Abbi Sartori: Hotshots coach (level 1) Tumbling and stunting coach

Did you perform or compete?

I started cheer when I was 6 years old, I started off with cheering sidelines and then around 7th/8th grade I joined all star cheer and did that until my junior year in high school. After all star I went and tried out for my high school team which I cheered on for my junior and senior year, I also made captain both years! Once I graduate I went to school at Shepherd University in WV and cheered there as well! Now I am currently competing with Super 7! 

What motivates you as a coach to inspire your athletes ?

Building confidence in my athletes motivates me as a coach, most kids start off very shy and I love bringing out their energetic outgoing side by showing them how to perform strong! 

Do you have a favorite quote or coaching philosophy that you would like to share?

You learn to win and you learn to lose but you never learn how to give up!  

How long have you been coaching?

Coaching for 4 years, I have coached the mini team at CEA since I started in 2021, I have also coached levels 2, 3, 4 and 6. Outside of allstar cheer. I work with the mount airy Bulldogs program coaching their varsity cheer squad, this is where I found a love for coaching!
