Spotlight on Royal Prime Allstars: An Interview with Melanie Martinez

  1) are you the owner of royal prime all-stars? when did you open up your gym? ANY AMAZING coaches at your gym you'd like to shout out?

"Myself (Melanie Martinez) and Bobby Frausto are co-owners of our gym Prime Time Cheer & Tumbling and founders of Royal Prime All-Stars. We began this journey April 2015. Coach Bobby was my daughter's tumbling coach, and he saw a lot of potential in her as she self taught how to do a back handspring. Breanna, my daughter, was tumbling under him while being part of a recreational cheer squad. Well, all of those parents asked who was teaching her how to tumble, and they all started to go with us to tumbling. The girls were learning how to tumble in a small room with about 1 lane in it. Long story short, I asked Bobby if he would like to start a competition team. He asked where, and I said in my wrestling room (as my husband and I own a wrestling gym as well). He said, well I have never run a squad before, and I said "well I have the space, and I can get uniforms if you can coach." So now its 2019, and we will be running our gym 4 years and taking our team Royal Prime All-stars to their 5th season. We began with 14 athletes and today we have 78 athletes which make up our 5 squads. Coach Bobby is the talent behind our amazing athletes and I'm a crazy mom that said I believe in you. "

 

2) what is one thing you have learned, from the beginning of coaching until now?

“WOW!!! We have learned so much in a very short period of time. Coaching is never easy, and all athletes learn at different speeds. But what we have learned the most is from our athletes. These athletes are family and mean the world to us and they teach us lessons everyday. Without them, we would not be where we are today. They are what makes us successful. As coaches, we have to stick together and keep learning so that our athletes continue to evolve. "

 

3) What made you choose glitterstarz as a vendor for your uniforms, practicewear, and more?

“The 1st thing that made us choose GlitterStarz was the customer service. Everyone is so nice and they make sure we get everything we need and at a reasonable price. They have helped design our uniforms, practice wear, jerseys, bows, etc. the staff is absolutely amazing. They have not only worked with us on our budget, they have made it affordable by giving us payment plans. The uniform designs are amazing and met our every need."

4) How was your experience working with our company so far? 

“The experience I have had with GlitterStarz as been amazing and a true blessing. I'm still a rookie at this cheer stuff and Liz and all staff has helped me and guided me to meet all the proper needs of USASF and have called me and guided me to make sure I like what they are doing. They took what was in our thoughts and made it reality. Absolutely a blessing to have them in our corner. "

5) whaT is one moment from this past season that stood out to you? whether it be a proud moment for your team, or a unique event that you participated in?

“Past season was our 1st time going to D2 Summit, it was such an amazing experience. We our fairly new squad and we took one of our 2 squads and they made it to the finals. Was the greatest feeling seeing all the athletes hard work paying off. Watching your athletes smile means the world to us and knowing that we guided them and helped them reach their goal is such a blessing."

6) what is your team's "motto" or one set of rules that you live by?

" We are equal!!! And we never say "can't". No matter what skill, everyone plays such an important role on the team and we like to make everyone feel important. We are family and family treat each other kind. And we want all our athletes to believe in themselves as we believe in them. With out each other, we have no team. Our team slogan "Always Fear Royalty" symbolizes that we together can conquer."

 

Anything else you'd like to say or mention, about your gym or about glitterstarz?

“Our gym, our team was once a "what if" that became a "reality". A crazy mom with a fearless, brave, talented little girl with an amazing young tumbling coach just decided one day that we would give this a try and amazing 14 families believed in us and went on this journey with us. And everyone would tell me you won't be successful building a gym around your All-Star team, and I said watch me. As we teach our athletes to believe in themselves and I believe in them, I believed in myself, my daughter and Coach Bobby and here we are today. Thank you Royal Prime All-Stars for believing in us and Always Fear Royalty.

 
And thank you GlitterStarz for helping us through our journey and making our athletes look amazing. We are ready and dressed for success. " - Always Fear Royalty,
Melanie
