Building Champions with Character & Class

---

Hey everyone, name's Tyler! I'm the program director of this beautiful gym! I also coach the youth, junior and open cheer teams of this gym. I’m excited to be coaching cheer this season and continuing to share my passion for the sport with a new generation of athletes. My journey with cheer began during my senior year of high school, when our program was brought back after a long absence. That year was incredible—we came back strong, thanks to a group of talented and dedicated athletes, and it sparked my love for the sport.

After high school, I continued cheering for a season with Storm’s prep team and spent time cheering at UW-Eau Claire. I’ve now been coaching for three years, with two seasons at Wausau East High School and a half season back at Storm.

Cheerleading has taught me the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance, and I’m passionate about passing those lessons on to my athletes. My goal as a coach is to create a positive, encouraging environment where athletes can grow, challenge themselves, and experience the joy that competitive all-star cheer brings.

Meghan Coyer has been a dedicated part of the all star cheerleading community since 2002, bringing over two decades of experience, passion, and leadership to the sport. As the business manager and newly co-owner of House of Storm, Meghan plays a vital role in overseeing the gym’s financial operations and IT systems while also helping shape its long-term vision.

A former competitive all star cheerleader herself, Meghan's love for the sport runs deep. She became co-owner with a clear mission in mind: to inspire the next generation of athletes—including her own daughter—by creating a space where confidence, motivation, and personal growth are just as important as athletic success.

Beyond managing day-to-day operations, Meghan is known for being a strong emotional support and advocate for the athletes and families at the gym. She’s passionate about helping young cheerleaders reach their full potential both on and off the mat.

Hi! My name is Brooke Zietlow, and I recently graduated from UWSP with degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education. I cheered all throughout my college career and I started cheering on a team here at storm when I was 10! I have been cheering for a total of 12 years, and have coached while cheering for the past 4. I love inspiring others to be the best they can be and pushing them to reach their goals! I look forward to working with your athlete this season!
