I love gymnastics for its ability to fuse an activity that is fun and that you take a lot of enjoyment from, with the ability to be able to learn new things and improve every week as well.
As a gymnast as well as coach, I understand the joy of learning a new move, and then working on it with the coaches to make it better and easier to perform, ultimately leading to more new moves that you never thought you could do! It gives me great pride to be able to teach children some of these moves, and see their sense of achievement in performing it, just as I have done.
The self-motivation of children who love the sport is key to getting them to try new moves and improve on what they know. They also seem to have the most fun once they get to know how we work, and have the chance to see older members performing highly complex moves.
Since starting at the age of 7 as a beginner who had never done gymnastics before, I have looked up to older members and the professional coaches of the club, and improved massively. I now hope to pass that onto members that I coach, so they can benefit as well.
I also hope to share in some of the fun that they have every single week!
