Weekdays for Natalie start at around 5am and end, most nights, around 10pm when she prepares to do it all over again the next day. Natalie is not the only one passionate about cheer. Her husband, Christen, also cheered competitively and is another managing partner supporting their passion and commitment to the sport. Christen and Natalie have two children and are dedicated to inspire our youth through the sport of cheer!

Hi, my name is Kelsey Marksberry, I am a recreational and All-Star cheerleading coach with Woodland Elite Houston. I’m a dedicated and enthusiastic cheerleading coach with over 10 years of experience in sideline, recreational, and all-star cheerleading. Former captain and UCA all American cheerleader. Sideline cheerleader for 7 years; Coached for 6 years in the areas of gymnastics, cheer tumbling, and all-star teams. I love cheerleading and coaching is a way to stay connected to my passion. I like the competitive aspect of cheer, love to win and help others win but it’s also important to me to teach my kids that winning is not everything. Being better than your last performance and small victories is also a win. I like to work with kids and help them grow to their full potential. It’s personally rewarding seeing people succeed and achieve their goals. I am constantly learning either through education or through every student that comes my way. When I am not coaching or in the gym, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling, taking dance classes, going to the racetrack and doing anything adventurous.
