Total Effect Cheer

What does a day at Total Effect Summer Camp look like? 💙

Hands-on coaching. New stunts. Skill development. Confidence that grows with every rep. And staff who celebrate every win right alongside you.

At Total Effect Cheer, our goal is simple: help every athlete and every team leave camp better than they arrived.

This is just a glimpse of what happens every day at camp. ⚡

✨ Featured Guest Coach: Lindsay Bracken ✨
We are incredibly honored to welcome Lindsay Bracken as a Featured Guest Coach at select TEC camps this summer! This is an incredible opportunity for our athletes and coaches to learn from one of the most accomplished collegiate cheer and STUNT coaches in the country.
Originally from Woodhaven, Michigan, Lindsay grew up participating in both cheerleading and gymnastics before continuing her athletic career at the University of Michigan, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Sport Management while cheering for the Wolverines. She later attended Oklahoma State University, where she continued her cheer career while earning both her master's degree and doctorate in Health and Human Performance. As a collegiate athlete, Lindsay helped lead the Cowboys to two NCA National Championships—first with the Small Coed team in 2007 and again with the Large Coed team in 2010.
Today, Lindsay serves as the Cheer Coordinator at Oklahoma State University, where she has built one of the premier collegiate cheer programs in the nation. Under her leadership, the OSU Cheer program has captured six NCA National Championships—Large Coed (2013, 2014, 2015, 2021, and 2022) and Small Coed (2019). The Oklahoma State STUNT Team has also won 10 National Championships (2014–2019 and 2022–2025), further establishing Oklahoma State as a national leader in collegiate cheer and STUNT.
In addition to leading Oklahoma State's nationally recognized programs, Lindsay teaches Exercise and Sport Sciences at Oklahoma City University while also coaching the OSU Club Cheer Squad and STUNT Team. Her passion for athlete development, technical excellence, and leadership has impacted countless athletes and coaches throughout her career.
We are beyond excited to have Lindsay joining the TEC staff this summer and know our athletes and coaches will benefit tremendously from her knowledge, experience, and championship mindset. This is a learning opportunity you won't want to miss! 🧡💙
