My daughter, Kylee had one dream throughout high school…to cheer at one of the top cheerleading schools in the country. The whole process of figuring out how to help her realize this dream was overwhelming to me. I wasn’t sure which schools to consider, where there was scholarship money available, etc. We turned to Patrick Cowherd for help, and he was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable about all the different programs, and saved us hours of research. He knew which programs were more “competition based”, and which were big “game day” schools. He also shared advantages of smaller schools vs. larger ones, where money was available, and even the atmosphere of the squads and campuses. Because Patrick is well-known in the “world” of cheerleading, having cheered and coached himself, he was able to open doors for us. Once we began narrowing down options, he made phone calls to coaches and arranged meetings and “previews” with many coaches before open tryouts. I am thrilled to say our daughter is living her dream. She is a freshman on the Varsity Cheerleading Squad at Oklahoma State University and loving every minute of it. She is very talented, and definitely had to work for the opportunity, however, we cannot thank Pat enough for all his work and dedication. Ronda Cooper Mother of Kylee Cooper Varsity Cheerleader Oklahoma State University I have been cheering since the fifth grade and never had any real confidence that I had the potential to cheer at the collegiate level. After leaving my first gym and cheering and working with Patrick Cowherd and The Cheerleading Agency, my outlook on cheerleading completely changed. My confidence level was boosted as well as my skill level within the four years that I cheered and worked with Patrick. Working with Patrick Cowherd and The Cheerleading Agency got me to where I am today, cheering for Oklahoma State small coed, a team that was established two years ago and has already won an NCA national title. Not only did coach Pat and the cheerleading agency influence my outlook on cheerleading, but he also influenced my outlook on life. Natalie Finney- Varsity Cheerleader Oklahoma State University Small Coed The Cheerleading Agency was a great way for my son to achieve is cheerleading goals. By solociting the help of the agency my son was able to improve his skills in various areas. Such as partner stunting, tumbling, cheer motions and even dance. (Dance does not come easy to him.) It gave him the confidence and the additional skills that he needed to make the UK cheerleading team. (One of the top cheer teams in the country.) In addition to many other leads for cheerleading at other colleges. I would highly recommend the use of Patrick Cowherd and this agency to anyone! Best Regards Melissa Wilhoite Jacques Wilhoite- UK Cheerleader Pat Cowherd was my first all star coach back when I started competitive cheerleading. When I came into the gym I had no partner stunting experience. Pat worked with me during practice and when I came in outside of practice on my stunting, and before long I had all the skills I needed to make my 1st College team. Pat has been a big part of my life when it comes to cheerleading, he is a real down to earth person who has been there and done that and now he wants to help other achieve their goals. As a college cheerleader Pat has helped me accomplish a few different things. Pat made the phone call to help me get my job with the National Cheerleaders Association, he also helped my stunting over the years. Pat Cowherd has been and will always be a big influence on my career as a Cheerleader. Thanks a bunch Pat! Kenny Clark, University of Louisville Kenny Clark University of Louisville Cheerleading Indiana State University Cheerleading (05-08) 2006 NCA National Champion Coach Patrick Cowherd is the epitome of all cheerleading coaches. I have had the opportunity to work with Coach Pat for the past several years. His passion for cheerleading and devopling cheerLEADERS is unmeasureable. I was so excited to hear that he developed a business(The Cheerleading Agency) to help future college students and coaches discover what is the best college decision for them not only for their cheerleading endeavors but also for their education and future professional careers. I have recommended Coach Pat to many other coaches and I will continue to. Any cheerleader or coach that ever has the opportunity to experience working with Coach Pat will know from day one that he is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS! He puts the cheerleaders and the coach first and gives the encouragement and knowledge that will lead your squad and you to perform at levels you never thought you could achieve. He is a true cheerleading success. He gives so much to so many people and God has blessed him in return with many creative cheerleading opportunities to continue to reach out to cheerleaders and coaches everywhere!

Robert Neat Winners Wear CEO' You know, there are times when you wish you knew someone on the inside. Everyone wonders what it means – well, it means relationships, understanding, and trust. Having that one person who knows the right people, understands what it takes to get there, and is trusted by those making the decisions is the person you want on your side. Patrick Cowherd is a man of integrity in the Cheerleading Industry. His knowledge, along with his vast network, makes him the perfect person to be that “go-to guy” when you need to get your child in a safe, reputable college/university program. I have to say, the time has come for those exceptional cheerleaders to be properly represented to get their lifework taken to the next level to help their educational future – molding them into the person they want to be in life. If you are trying to get your son or daughter into college cheering, I highly suggest the Cheerleading Agency and Patrick Cowherd as the person to get you there.
