Coaching for over 6 years.
I have coached 2 high school cheer teams and a boys gymnastics team over the years, I am currently a cheer coach at Long Beach Poly.
From Levels 1 to levels 5 of gymnastics, boys and girls.
Ability to teach tumbling from beginner to elite level skills. I started off at Pacific Diving Academy in Santa Fe Springs, ca, then I began working at Spirit Gymnastics, about a year after I began head coaching at Lighthouse gymnastics, in Whittier, Ca, for tumbling. I currently work at Kidnastics in Los Alamitos, ca. The age group I typically work with is 6-18 years old. They are geared more towards cheerleading. Learning and improving their skills for their teams. I have a USA Gymnastics safety certification, a AACCA certified high school cheerleading coach, NFHS stunt certified levels 1-2, as well as BLS CPR/AED certified. I have also taken courses for athletic taping and modalities.

One of my athletic accomplishments is my return to cheerleading after an Achilles injury. For then 2012-2013 season, I competed on the Orange Coast College cheerleading team. We were 1st place at USA Nationals in Anaheim, Ca. In April we competed in Daytona, Florida at the NCA collegiate cheerleading nationals. We received 1st place in the division we competed in, earning the school out second back to back NCA title. I am currently on the 2014 Orange Coast College Cheerleading team this year.

Whether the client is a new client, or some one I have worked with many times, I knit pick technique as well as work with progressions of skills. I also adapt to that client because not everyone is the same, not every body type is the same, a certain technique or explanation may work for one person whereas it may not for another. I will say drilling technique and keeping the simplicity of a skill is what I try to teach everyone.
