Check Out Whitney Collier’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Whitney Collier.

Hi Whitney, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
HEY GIRL, HEYY!!

I’m Whitney L. Collier, owner and founder of The Little Pink Mat.

My love for cheerleading began in 1998 when I started cheering for rec football. A couple of years later, I started competitive cheer @ Ellenwood Allstars throughout middle & high school, where I was able to travel & compete around the country. During this time, I also began my coaching career, earned many accolades, & most importantly gained lifelong friends / Family.

After high school, I cheered for Valdosta State University, where I was a part of the back to back Small Co-ed NCA Collegiate National Championship team. Being a Blazer under Dante Tennant, I advanced my cheer/tumbling skills, but most importantly, I developed a number of LIFE lessons.

Over the years, cheerleading has taught me the importance of patience, discipline, hard work, teamwork, leadership, & time management, and I will forever be grateful for that. So without further introduction, here’s my love letter to Cheer, The Little Pink Mat.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I’m extremely passionate, so my biggest challenge is wanted the most out of my athletes. It’s a gift and a curse. I see the potential in my PINKIES and I push them to the limits until they can see it for themselves. I’m dedicated, so when I put my mind to something, I make sure I get there.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a private tumbling and cheerleading coach.

I offer private cheer and tumbling lessons to athletes ages three and up.

I offer my athletes an EXPERIENCE. Not only do my “PINKIES” learn new skills, they have FUN, they learn work ethic, and most importantly, they learn life lessons.

I absolutely love to see the PINKIES come out of their shells and become young women.

How do you define success?
Success is being the best YOU that you can be.

Never compare your success to the next person’s. We’ve been put on this earth to do what we’re supposed to do individually. I tell my PINKIES that we’re all pieces to a puzzle, so focus on YOU. What God has for YOU is for YOU.

WORK HARD. STAY HUMBLE. & BE KIND.
