I am a level eight trampoline and tumbling gymnast who consistently works hard to refine my skills. I am also a trampoline and tumbling coach, I get to coach others not only to ensure that I have access to gym time but also to approach skills differently, allowing me to have a thorough understanding of the mechanics required to perform these skills. I have been involved in gymnastics since I was a toddler, and have been on my team longer than any other member; including my coach. I have had many coaches throughout my gymnastics experience, and I appreciate the fact that every coach has something different to offer me to help me progress to the next level. I am a rising high school senior involved in many school activities, but gymnastics has always been the priority. I love to support my teammates at competitions and in practice. I am known as the girl who dances through the meets and doesn't stop yelling. Gymnastics is hard, and I love getting to help get my teammates excited because the whole team benefits when one of us succeeds. I work well in a group and have frequently stepped in for my coach as an assistant because of a scheduling conflict with events, she can't be in two places at once, but this allows me to help my teammates focus on what is truly important to succeed when they compete.
