Coach Andy
Coach Andy grew up in Michigan where he was a competitive swimmer. After high school he joined the Navy and spent 21 years as a Navy Diver; retiring in 2022. Over the years he has coached baseball and football both in Virgina and Florida. He’s constantly amazed at how different coaching a predominantly female sport is and you may have heard him say once or twice…”These ladies are ruthless!”
Andy and Errica have been married for over 20 years and during that time he has heard everything cheer from Errica! He also spent a lot of time as a fan of all the cheer teams Errica has coached over the years. So, it only seemed fitting when Errica decided to start her own competition program that he would help however he could. And so it began, Andy started his cheer career at around age 37…a little later than most cheer coaches.
Not knowing how to count to 8 he took on the team trainer role , looking after the health and welfare of our Hurricanes athletes. Everyone now knows to yell “Coach Andy!” for any athlete injury. His years of military training also have proved valuable in our conditioning and strength training program. He’s slowly caught onto everything that is coaching cheer and has become pretty good at counting to 8!
He loves the competitiveness of the sport and his favorite saying is, “I like to have fun, and winning is fun!”. His favorite part of the routine is when the cheerleaders “Hit” the routine and start into the dance, it’s a huge relief. That’s the best feeling as a cheer coach. If you look closely you might even see a tear in his eye walking away from the music table.
