THE INFLUENCER: Elsik's Brooks Sweet and Salty
“I’ve been cheering since a little girl,” she said. “I love it and I could see myself doing it in college. Cheer definitely fits my personality.”
Her alter ego, however, comes out on the basketball court.

“I have followed my dad’s lead,” she said. “He played college basketball and really taught me the game. I remember playing at the YMCA as a kid and then I got more serious about the game. He has really motivated me to work on my craft.
“My high school coaches have been everything, also. They have encouraged me to keep going and my teammates just pick me up when I need it. I could see myself coaching in high school some day because of my experience here.”
When she’s not cheering, hooping or training, you can catch Brooks in the kitchen cooking her favorites...seafood and pancakes.
“My pancakes are really fluffy,” she laughed. “That is my specialty, but I can also cook some spicy crawfish and crab legs.”
Her cooking skills sort of define her personality...sweet and bouncy as a cheerleader and edgy and salty on the hardwood.
