Meet The Team

Coaches who
build champions

Elite experience, family hearts — the coaches guiding every FOE athlete on and off the mat.

Justina Marks, FOE Director and Head Coach

Justina Marks

Director / Head Coach

Justina cheered for 13 years — from MHSAA in Yale, MI to the D1 collegiate level at Central Michigan University — and spent two years competing as a commuter at Steele Athletics in New Mexico on their Level 7 International All-Star team.

Her coaching journey ran through Core Athletics, Peak Performance Cheer, and Prestige Athletics, and she's also an Assistant Coach at Grand Valley State University. She's beyond excited to welcome everyone to FOE All Star Cheer.

Brayden Kammers, FOE Co-Director and Head Coach

Brayden Kammers

Co-Director / Head Coach

Originally from Colorado, Brayden has been cheering for 13 years as an athlete, coach, and choreographer across All-Star, high school, and collegiate cheer — including Express Allstars, Coal Ridge High School, High Kaliber Athletics, Western Colorado University, and Davenport University.

He holds a Bachelor's in Politics and is pursuing his MBA at Davenport, and is a Head Instructor for the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA). He joined cheer on a dare — and stays for the family and sense of community.

Chelsea Sakow, FOE Assistant Senior Coach

Chelsea Sakow

Assistant Senior Coach

Chelsea brings 19 years of cheer experience. She competed for 12 years — from MHSAA programs through All-Star cheer, retiring in 2019 — competing at The Cheerleading Worlds and earning two U.S. Finals Grand Champion titles.

She began coaching in 2012 and has since coached MHSAA, All-Star, and collegiate cheer, served as an All-Star judge, and works at The Cheerleading Worlds each year. Her favorite part of coaching: helping athletes reach their goals and watching them succeed, on and off the mat.

Prestige Athletics — FOE All Star Cheer's tumbling partner

Prestige Athletics

Our Tumbling Partner

Prestige was founded in 2012 with the primary aim of teaching effective tumbling techniques and progressions as the key to successfully guiding athletes toward a goal-oriented and long-term tumbling career.

PA has staff from various backgrounds including experience from Davenport University, GSU, Aquinas, MSU, and U of M. Each team member has been trained under the Prestige administration, specializing in proper spotting techniques and providing drill assistance for athletes at all levels.

This partnership will provide impactful experience in tumbling to help FOE athletes strive for their goals.

Thank you Prestige Athletics!
