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
tacos, burgers, and red

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 to coach vault. I like how many different drills you can choose for the way back to the line from the actual vault. I also like how fast paced vault is. I usually coach vault by using the circuit method and it keeps everyone moving.
My favorite part about coaching is watching the children grow, not only physically, but mentally and socially as well. It is crazy to see children that you coached on their first day now winning medals at states. I also love how much Falcons is a family. The children that attend and their families are some of the nicest people. We are lucky.

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.
