What led you to coaching?
What led you to coaching?
I was a gymnast growing up and absolutely loved my coaches. They inspired and pushed me to be the person I am today. I always hoped I could have that impact on the athletes I would one day coach. I wanted to instill a confidence in each young person through hard work, joy of practicing, and accomplishment.
