Level 10 Gymnastics Judge
I competed under different conditions/structure, which is equal to level 9 or 10. I competed for college successfully. I started at the age of 8 and stopped after graduating college. What I love about gymnastics is that I'm still amazed at what the human body can do. Fitness of the movements of the body, discipline, good organizational skills, and learning to trust your body. I love seeing the changes and improvements from the beginning, to see them competing and succeeding, and to see the girls growing and loving and staying involved in gymnastics.

I reached level 9 nationals. I started when I was 8 and continued until I reached college at 18. I like the fact that gymnastics is nothing like any other sport. There is a lot of discipline, strength, flexibility, and endurance involved which makes it very different from all other sports. I love coaching gymnastics because I enjoy teaching the things I know to others who are passionate about the sport of gymnastics. I love seeing children I teach progress to be great gymnasts with a lot of knowledge about the sport

I started gymnastics at 2 years old, and started competing at 8. I competed through the end of high school. What I love most about gymnastics is that it prepares you both mentally and physically for every challenge and every physical activity you'll ever undertake for the rest of your life. There will never be a task or a sport you can't master once you've been trained as a gymnast!
The best part of coaching gymnastics is seeing a child learn that with the power of their mind, the results they can achieve with their body are limitless!
