Abby Ruth, Owner

From high school to the University of Texas, Abby (Newman) Ruth has enjoyed cheerleading for over 23 years. After life as a competitive gymnast, Abby cheered on the HP Scots as Captain and a three-time High School All-American. A proud Texas Longhorn, Abby loved cheering for the Horns at the University of Texas, including her senior year when she served as Captain of the UT Cheerleaders.

Out of high school, Abby joined the elite coaching staff of the National Cheerleaders Association, where she worked for five years as an Instructor and Head Instructor, training collegiate, high school, and all-star teams. She continued to coach while in law school at SMU Dedman School of Law, and she led a life as an 8-year litigator for Fulbright & Jaworski (now Norton Rose Fulbright) before serving as the Alumni Director for SMU Law.

Now, a wife and mom to three young kids in the Park Cities, Abby has launched Mustang Cheer where she has been able to pair her passion for kids and cheerleading with her career.  Mustang Cheer is a 7,500 sq/ft training facility and retail store that not only provides top-level cheer and tumbling coaching, but it also focuses on self-esteem and confidence building, positive body image, and leadership training through its programs and curriculum.
