Brittany Gunderson - Gaylord

Hello CCCAM fam! I am the Varsity Sideline & Competitive Cheer Coach, Brittany Gunderson. I am in my 5th year of rebuild since myself and fellow coaches took over the Blue Devil Cheer program. We now run the youth, middle school and high school levels in our community.

Our program prides itself on successfully creating a culture of positive mindset. Our mission is to mold female athletes into strong, fierce leaders in our schools & community and to teach them to be accountable by having integrity, tenacity and grit.

I served on the CCCAM working board for 2021 as the Academic All State Director. I have been a CCCAM member since 2017 and I enjoy being part of a community of like minded coaches who are all striving for the same common goal- to empower strong student athletes!

Growing up playing sports in Northern Michigan always had its challenges when compared to more southern areas and now as a coach, I feel I can be a voice and be active with CCCAM to remain knowledgeable and an advocate for my program and our region.

Outside of coaching cheer I am a nurse, health coach, and my favorite… a wife and mother of four!

Sally Daling - Grandville

I have coached cheer for 20+ years on many levels, including middle school, high school, all star, and as a choreographer.  I am a former board member for MCCA, former MHSAA Official, and owned and operated Victory Cheerleading for 20 years. 

I am excited for the opportunity to use my experience and knowledge to help CCCAM in any way, and to continue CCCAM's mission to educate coaches and promote the sport of cheer in Michigan.

Carly Sienkiewicz- Forest Hills Northern

I am in my 7th year coaching and 5th as Head Coach at Forest Hills Northern in Grand Rapids. During my time with FHN I’ve been fortunate enough to coach our team to two Regional Qualifications and a 2020 Conference Championship. I have served on the CCCAM Working Board for the past 3 years as the All-State Director and Summit Co-Chair. It has been an honor to be a part of the Board and contribute to the decisions that drive change in our sport. I am running for Region 1 Representative so that I can bring the perspective and concerns of our region to the Boards attention and to continue to drive positive change in competitive cheer. I am passionate about connecting with coaches and creating relationships throughout the area. I would love to represent the West Side (best side!)

Laura Dodd - Marysville

This is my fifteenth year as head coach at Marysville. It's my twentieth year coaching overall. In the late 90's and early 2000's I spent five years on the MCCA Executive Board as At-Large Rep, Recording Secretary, and then as Trustee. I was also Fall Clinic Director. I was a camp director for Cheer! Michigan for ten years and have hosted my own invitationals. I have lots of experience organizing cheer events and programs. I am semi-retired other than coaching again at Marysville so I do have a bit of time on my hands to help where I can. 

Morgan Martinez - Fenton

My name is Morgan Martinez, I have been coaching in Fenton and a member of CCCAM for the last 7 years. During that time, I have coached at all levels (Middle School, JV, and Varsity). When I’m not coaching, I am the HR Manager for a defense manufacturing company in Lapeer. After being a member for so long, I would love the opportunity to give back to the organization that has helped me become to the Coach I am today.

I have been an assistant to varsity all 4 years. I am very dedicated and always wanting to improve where I can. I am eager to get involved with CCCAM and willing to help in anyway I am able to.
