Vault and bars, the excitement the kids have running to the springboard makes my day. I enjoy coaching bars because the kids always have a little bit of a difficult time so it’s more of a coaching experience and getting to know you’re athlete at the stations during the time at bars.

When a athlete gets a new skill, when they overcome a fear they had with a skill, when they show up not so talkative and leave in a good mood, building a positive trust with the athletes in the gym and surrounding it, having fun and being creative with activities and workouts

I like to hangout with my friends, eat good food, and workout sometimes. Since it’s summer I enjoy sitting outside a lot.

My favorite event to coach is beam. As a gymnast I didn’t like beam, but it’s a different perspective when coaching it.

When I’m helping out coaches around the gym, I like when the gymnasts are eager to show me their new skill(s). It shows me that they are working hard, determined, and making lots of progress. Watching the kids grow in the sport you both love is very rewarding.

Can’t pick one. Vault and floor are great because of the power and grace used in tumbling skills and when doing vault. Beam and bars are awesome to coach because of the courage to overcome fears and the strength needed to complete many of the skills.

I love working with the young people and seeing how excited they get when they get a new skill or overcome a fear.

Floor!! This event shows a lot of diversity in strengths and creativity. From the dance aspect to the power behind tumbling. I love it all!!

As a former gymnast, I absolutely loved the feeling of gaining new skills. But I think I love it even more as a coach. The thrill and excitement when a skill clicks is such an amazing feeling. Knowing that you as a coach helped them get there is such reward.
