Competitive coach

Why do you coach? I coach for many reasons though generally, and ultimately, it is because I love it. Specifically, I coach because passing on the knowledge and lessons that I value most (that I learned from my own coaches/teachers and friends over the years) is important to me .I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them. The relationships that I have built, and am still building, working with athletes of all ages has been fulfilling and makes my time at the gym very meaningful. Coaching is often challenging and I enjoy that despite how difficult it can be at times. I think that helps to make me a better and more capable person outside of the gym and for that I am grateful. It is also just so fun! 🙂
What does OAA mean to you? OAA is such an amazing place. To me, OAA is a reminder of my time as an athlete and both the joys and challenges I faced then. It also is a place, where now, I’m able to make an impact on young people, and so I feel a duty and responsibility to be a role model. I think and hope that I’ll be here in the future, and so OAA is a place where I look forward to making new and lasting memories as well. To sum that up, OAA means a whole lot to me.
What is your favourite part about coaching? My favourite part about coaching is definitely the relationships and friendships that I’m able to make during the process! It is a privilege to be able to get to know and build bonds with so many athletes, parents and coaches I work with.
When and where did you start coaching and/or participating in acrobatics? I started recreational trampoline at Kingston Aeros Trampoline Club in, you guessed it, Kingston, ON. This is also where I started coaching! My coach, Graeme Huffman asked me to enter the CIT (coach in training) program and I haven’t turned back since!
Do you have a favourite thing you like to do in the gym yourself? My favourite thing to do at the gym myself is… coaching! If there is no one to coach I like to jump as high as I can on the trampolines. It’s still exhilarating to this day.
What’s your coaching superpower? I like to think that my coaching superpower is my ability to be positive and instill confidence in the athletes that I work with. You’ll have to ask the athletes though!
