Coach Krystal Hamon has been part of the cheerleading world since 1993, participating in Pop Warner, High School Squads, Competitive Cheer, and now coaching!  Having been a lover of cheer from the beginning, she is now excited to be able to give something back to it. She said she had always hoped to be able to share her positive experience with other girls, and she now feels a great admiration from her cheerleaders, parents and other coaches.

For the past four years Coach Krystal has helped coach for the Argonaut High School Jr. Mustangs Cheer program, located in Jackson, CA. As a coach, she has strove to help her cheerleaders gain self-confidence, and said she has been thrilled to watch the program grow in both numbers and strength.



This week's Coach of the Week shared with Weplay, "I believe that I am a hard working coach who wants my cheerleaders to be the best, but I wouldn't have the best squad if they weren't willing to work hard to achieve that goal too!" For that she wanted to give her squad a shout-out and say, "Thank you for being the best you can be! You come to practice willing to learn and ready to succeed! I can't wait to see where cheerleading takes you!" 

One fun way that Coach Krystal motivates her squad is to give out a Spirit Award each week to a Mascot, a JV Cheerleader, and a Varsity Cheerleader! Check out their team page to see all the recent recipients. What a fun way to reward your cheerleaders!

Outside of cheer, Coach Krystal is a stay at home mom with a 20-month-old daughter (future cheerleader), and she runs her own business as an independent consultant with PartyLite Candles. While she doesn't have any children involved with the high school program, she has a passion for cheer and takes great joy from coaching.

She wrote that is was a great honor to be selected as the Coach of the week on Weplay!

Weplay thanks you for your dedication to the sport of Cheerleading, and for being a positive role model to the young girls on your squad!
