Introducing Taylor Jack, AKA "Coach Tee Tee," a proud Buckhannon native who has not only embraced the hills of West Virginia but has also dedicated herself to enhancing the lives of children in her community. Born, raised, and still residing in this charming small town, Taylor's deep-rooted love for her state is evident in the pride and sense of community she carries. Despite facing challenges growing up in Buckhannon, where access to competitive gymnastics and cheerleading training was limited, Taylor's journey led her to travel extensively to Clarksburg, Fairmont, and Morgantown for over a decade. These experiences, though demanding, ignited her passion for coaching, a role she embraced in high school and continued through college. Now, as a skilled choreographer and independent contracted coach, Taylor has returned to her roots, determined to provide local children, like her daughter Adalaide, with the opportunities she missed during her childhood. With a rich background as the Director at Mountain CAP Child Development Center, Taylor brings a wealth of experience and a profound love for children to her role. Her mission is clear—to offer affordable, convenient, and high-quality cheerleading opportunities to the youth of Buckhannon and its surrounding communities, fostering their natural talents and guiding them toward a successful and healthy future. 

 In addition to her remarkable professional journey, Taylor Jack is an avid health enthusiast, embracing a lifestyle that revolves around fitness and movement even in her adulthood. Passionate about instilling a sense of well-being in the community, Taylor believes in the transformative power of leading by example. As a devoted mother to her seven-year-old daughter, Adalaide, a loving fiancée, and a cherished friend, Taylor understands the importance of creating a positive and nurturing environment for the next generation. Her commitment to health and wellness extends beyond the cheerleading mat, reflecting a broader vision for a better and healthier future for the children in Buckhannon and its surrounding communities. Taylor Jack is not just a coach and director; she is a beacon of inspiration, guiding others toward a life enriched with vitality, joy, and meaningful connections. 

The Mountain State Cheer Academy values extend beyond the mat – we cherish passion, integrity, and the belief that dreams are achievable.  Through empowering coaching, inclusive camaraderie, and a commitment to excellence, we aspire to be the beacon of cheerleading in West Virginia, fostering a legacy of spirited athletes who soar to new heights both on and off the mat.
