Throughout my high school cheerleading career, I have had five different coaches. I have classified them into The Mom, The BFF, The Nazi, The Babysitter, The Crazy One, and The Ideal Coach.

An ENTJ, or an extrovert, intuitive, thinking, and judger person, is usually self-driven, motivating, energetic, assertive, confident, and competitive (Craemer). All of these qualities would make an ideal cheer coach because they are motivating, yet competitive. If I combined every cheer coach into one, the result would be the ideal coach. Each coach went extreme in one category instead of balancing out all of their
