About the Coach:
Brandy Corcoran, the cheerleading coach at the University of Oklahoma, boasts over 16 years of coaching experience, spanning all levels of the sport, from novices to top-tier athletes. Throughout her tenure, she has been affiliated with the National Cheerleaders Association for 15 years, coaching numerous National Champions and All-American athletes. At Oklahoma City University (OCU), Corcoran leads the coed competitive cheerleading and dance programs as coach and spirit coordinator.

Corcoran has been a driving force in advocating for the recognition of cheerleading and dance as championship sports within the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Recently, she was elected as the president of the NAIA Cheer and Pom Coaches Association. Under her leadership, OCU achieved historic success during the 2010-11 season, clinching the first NAIA titles in large coed cheerleading and large dance. Furthermore, the team secured a runner-up position in small coed cheerleading, with fifteen athletes earning All-American status.

Her coaching journey began at the University of Oklahoma in 2002 before transitioning to OCU. Prior to her collegiate coaching roles, Corcoran served as the spirit coordinator for cheerleading and pom pon teams at Central Oklahoma from 2000-03. At the high school level, she coached at Westmoore High School in Oklahoma City from 2000-03 and Tuttle, Oklahoma, from 1990-2001. Corcoran's coaching prowess is evident through her teams' consistent top-five placements at the Collegiate National Cheerleading Championships and her achievements, including guiding Central Oklahoma to the 2002 and 2003 NCA all-girl cheer and the 2003 dance national championships, as well as leading Tuttle to nine state championships.
