Jacob Mark- All Star Coach
I was born in Richmond, Virginia and raised in Lake Worth, Florida. I've played a few different competitive sports throughout my life, including football and wrestling. I got involved in competitive cheerleading my senior year of high school. During my first cheerleading practice I was in awe of the two Florida State guys that were there to help out. After that day I was addicted and worked as hard as I could to make the FSU Co-Ed team. I cheered at FSU from 2010-2014. Our coed team cheered for football, basketball, and volleyball. I was lucky enough to also be voted captain by my peers during my final two years on the team. One of my favorite memories from FSU was cheering on the winning Seminoles during the 2013 National Championship game in Pasadena, CA. I graduated in May of 2015 with a double major in Political Science and International Affairs. I currently work for Kloeckner Metals, a metal service center, as a Processing/Sales Assistant.

I am so excited to be able to teach and coach these athletes things they can carry with inside and outside of the gym. It is my first year coaching at Zone & I couldn’t be more excited for the bonds and friendships I will make with the athletes and coaches! My goal as a coach is to make a good impact on anyone’s life possible, whether it’s me encouraging them to try a new skill, or give advice about the real world. I hope to pass along some of the lessons, intensity, and determination I’ve learned throughout my years of cheering! Can’t wait for this season and the memories to come along with it!
