Cheerleading since the age of 10 and coaching for 20 plus years, Coach Lynn Mullen has definitely earned her title as this week's Coach of the Week.
Coach Mullen currently coaches the cheer and stunt teams at Mountain View High School in Bend, Oregon. Her Cheer & Stunt team became a competitive group in April and the Cougars placed 5th in their division at the Pac West St. Patty's Day Competition in Portland, Oregon.
MVHS plans on continuing their competitive game while diligently supporting their Cougars first. Coach Mullen enthusiastically wrote, "We plan on doing well at the State Nationals this year!" With three team championships under her belt already, this coach certainly knows what it takes!
Aside from coaching competitive cheer, Coach Mullen is a published poet and photographer. She is currently the Chief Officer of Operations for the Central Oregon Youth Sports Association, a non-profit founded to benefit Central Oregon's youth with athletic scholarships. She got her degree in Economics from Chapman University in Orange County, CA, and has worked in marketing, fundraising, and finance for over 25 years.
Outside of work, Coach Mullen is dedicated to the community. She has volunteered her time with the Cub Scouts, the annual Pole, Peddle, Paddle event, and regularly helps feed and clothe the hungry and homeless with her church.
Being supportive is in Coach Mullen's nature. She finds great joy in seeing others achieve their goals, knowing that she was a part of it. Isn't that why so many youth coaches continue to do what they do!?
Coach Mullen shared a few of her keys to success:
"As a High School Coach, it is important to remember that you are not just coaching a sport. You are creating athletes, role models and future leaders. They are not just walking, talking action figures, but young adults that need our guidance. Treat your athletes with respect and they will respect you. Stand behind them and set them up for success. While striving for excellence is important, it is the journey and life lessons you teach your athletes that will stay with them forever."
