Favorite Component about Teaching Gymnastics:
“For me, its the opportunity to witness a childs reaction to overcoming a challenge and accomplishing something new, whether the success is sticking a double back or completing a backward roll for the first time; The feeling of triumph is identical. The art of teaching gymnastics development is essentially easy. The challenge lies in teaching children to develop and exhibit the confidence to achieve, not only gymnastic skills, but also overcome the many other obstacles they will face. I teach for those moments where a child confidently says, I can do it and I did it!.”
