Kristin B.

I bring your gymnast 8 years of coaching experience. From the recreation gymnast to the advanced Level 10 gymnast, I have experience working with 3-18 year olds of every level. I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to work with your gymnast with whatever it my be. Maybe your daughter just wants to learn her aerial or back handspring for dance, or maybe your competitive gymnast just needs some one-on-one time on a particular skill or event. Whatever it may be, I will strive to make your session as beneficial and productive as possible through progressive drills, shaping, positive feedback and conditioning.

Before coaching, I was a gymnast for 12 years, 7 of those spent competing Region 3 in Kansas including numerous state titles. (I'm not in Kansas anymore!) After gymnastics, I began competing in Track & Field at Blue Valley West High School, and then Lipscomb University earning a scholarship for javelin. As only a freshman, I received 3rd Place in Javelin at the A-Sun Conference Championships earning myself a spot to compete at Regionals. That year, I earned All-A-Sun status and became only the second woman in Lipscomb history to qualify for the NCAA Regionals in women’s track and field, as well as the title of "Freshman of the Year". Spending numerous years in the weight room, as well as one year as a Lipscomb Strength & Conditioning Intern, I utilize all my knowledge of strength, resistance & endurance training for my gymnasts during every practice session. I also have my Personal Trainers Certification and Youth Fitness Specialist Certification through ACE (American Council on Exercise).

Each session will be geared toward achieving your gymnasts' goals. We will begin with a warm-up and stretches associated with the focus skill(s). We will work on progressive skills, drills, shaping, and conditioning to advance her career as a successful gymnast.
