Sean started recreational trampoline at Kingston Aeros Trampoline Club in, you guessed it, Kingston, ON! This is also where he started coaching. His coach, asked him to enter the CIT (Coach-in-Training) program and he hasn’t turned back since!

Sean coaches for many reasons though generally, and ultimately, it is because he loves it. Specifically, he coaches because passing on the knowledge and lessons that he values most (that he has learned from his own coaches/teachers and friends over the years) is important to him. He wouldn’t be the person he is today without them. The relationships that he has built, and am still building, working with athletes of all ages has been fulfilling and makes his time at the gym very meaningful. Coaching is often challenging and he enjoys that despite how difficult it can be at times. He thinks that helps to make him a better and more capable person outside of the gym and for that He is grateful. It is also just so fun! 🙂

Sean’s favourite part about coaching is definitely the relationships and friendships that he is 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 he works with.

To him, OAA is such an amazing place. OAA is a reminder of his time as an athlete and both the joys and challenges he had faced. It also is a place, where now, he is able to make an impact on young people, and so he feels a duty and responsibility to be a role model. He thinks and hope that he will be here in the future, and so OAA is a place where he looks forward to making new and lasting memories as well. To sum it up, OAA means a whole lot to him.

His favourite thing to do at the gym is… coaching! If there is no one to coach, he likes to jump as high as he can on the trampoline. He find it still exhilarating to this day!

Sean likes to think his coaching superpower is his ability to be positive and to instill confidence in the athletes he works with. You’ll have to ask the athletes though!
