Interview with Tobruk Blaine
From Idaho, Tobruk, loved sports but gravitated to cheerleading. She was a high school cheerleader and then went on to cheering at Oregon State.
After graduation she was a high school and college cheerleading coach at Eagle and Rocky Mountain High Schools in Idaho and at Boise State University. Her high school teams won the Idaho 5A state cheerleading championships twice for Eagle High (2005, 2006 and 2008) and twice for Meridian's Rocky Mountain High (2010). The 2016 and 2017 Boise State teams were named the United Spirit Association's (USA) national champion in the Division I Small Coed cheerleading category. Blaine was named the 2006 state of Idaho Cheerleading Coach of the Year for leading Eagle High to its championship.
An effective fund raiser for the Boise State spirit squad program, she annually raised more than double the program's annual operating budget to support the university's cheerleading, dance and mascot's program activities.
A new football coach at San Jose State reached out to her to bring in the Beyond Football program to San Jose State.
In her role, she is responsible for enhancing the lives of football student-athletes through the university's new Beyond Football program. Student-athletes are encouraged to explore what is around them, identify interests, and inspire themselves and others through a culture of volunteerism in a greater community. Student-athletes will develop career-focused proficiencies and cultivate knowledge, relationships and skills necessary to establish a successful personal and professional life beyond the game of football.
