Melissa Cohen, Head Competitive Coach
Hello! My name is Melissa Cohen and I am the Head Coach of the Birmingham Seaholm Cheerleading Team. The girls call me Coach Mel. This is my 6th year coaching at Seaholm. I started my coaching career while in high school, working with my own alma mater, Eastland Elementary! I cheered for Roseville High School, where we were State Runner Ups in 2005! During college, I was a staff member for North American Spirit.
As I coach, I aim to develop athletes into leaders who understand the value of hard work, commitment and challenging themselves everyday. I do my best to instill these core values into every athlete I come in contact with:
I am a graduate of the University of Michigan - Go Blue! I am a Team Leader of a software development team for Title Source in Downtown Detroit. I currently live in Royal Oak with my husband, Jon, and our yellow lab, Charlie.
Good things come to those who go out and earn them.
The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' — they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.” (Keith Olbermann)

- Everything begins and ends with your mindset
- Be obsessed with the process of being great
- Believe in your teammates and believe in yourself. Lead your teammates and lead yourself.

Danielle Beauregard, Seaholm Sideline Coach
Hi! My name is Danielle Beauregard and I am the assistant coach of Seaholm Varsity Cheerleading. The girls call me Coach Dani and this is my first year coaching at Seaholm!
I began cheerleading in elementary school and was a Troy Cowboy cheerleader for five years. While attending Seaholm High School, I helped start the cheerleading program and cheered on the team for all four years.
I previously coached the Birmingham Patriots Youth Cheerleading Team and absolutely loved it!
I currently live in Troy with my family and attend Oakland Community College; I am majoring in Early Childhood Education and plan on being a teacher after I graduate. When I have free time, I love to swim and be with my family.
I am extremely excited for this upcoming season! As a coach, I believe that "if someone tells you, you can't then you have to". Watching this program continue to grow brings me so much joy
