More About Coach Vanessa
I have been involved in the gymnastics industry in a wide array of capacities advancing from coaching to managing a gymnastics facility and then I transitioned to Team Director and Head Coach of a competitive girls team and boys team which I built from the ground up. Former gymnasts have won compulsory state titles, optional level national titles and earnd college scholarships.
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness Specialist from San Diego State University. In addition to my scholastic and coaching back ground, I've played various sports. I was a gymnast for twelve years, competitive for five. I played competitive soccer for twelve years; snow skied for ten years, track team for two years, basket ball team for one year, ballet and dance instruction for one year and I have a yellow belt in Judo so I have a wide range of athletic knowledge that I incorporate into my teaching.
My area of expertise ranges from safe skill progression and over coming fear to strength and flexibility acquisition. I've taught Parkour, soccer flip throw-ins, tumbling to male and female cheerleaders, back handspring clinics and weight loss thought gymnastics, to name a few. I've had private lesson clients from age 2 to 50, male and female.
I look forward to working with you!
-Vanessa
The first year I created a girls' competitive team one of my gymnast earned a compulsory state title which earned me, Meet Scores On-line, ‘Young Guns’ recognition; “up and coming coaches to watch” 2008.
Discussion of goals! An hour long session would include a 10 warm-up, including adequate stretching for the skills that will be preformed. 45 min. of drills and skills including the use of various pieces of equipment to supplement drills for skill acquisition and a 5 min cool down which would include a discussion on rate of progression and activities to do/practice at home before our next session for optimal efficiency.

My daughter and I were in Carlsbad for a vacation and we booked a couple sessions with Vanessa so she could make up for the gymnastics she was missing. Vanessa was so great!!! She worked with my daughter on her round off back handspring and double back handspring, as well as her kip. My daughter had so much fun with her and loved her tips and drills. After just two sessions, she was doing her roundoff back handspring on the floor with no spot and was super confident about it! She wanted to work with Vanessa more, but we were headed back home. She will definitely be our go to coach every summer when we are in CA for vacation! I can't recommend her enough. Thanks again, Vanessa!!

I had my Grandson's out visiting from Az. The 10 year old loves trampolines, so I hired Coach Vanessa for a private lesson for him. He was so excited because after one lesson he could do a "double" backward summersault!! He loved it so much he wanted to go back for a 2nd lesson. We all just loved Vanessa, she is professional, great with kids and an awesome teacher!!! When they are back in town, we'll call her again. :)

Coach Vanessa was awesome! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to nail their tumbling.
Lisa Hansen (Testimonial)
Hi Vanessa! I just want to thank you for all you did to help Quincy these last few months. I had no idea that one on one coaching would prove to be so helpful. There were a few skills that she was struggling with and somehow your little "tips and tricks" would get her doing them in just one session. I noticed how aware you are of how the body works (background in kinesiology?). For example, her round-off double back handspring. Your were the first person to show her that her shoulders weren't extended enough and that the mechanics of her posture was causing her to use brute strength too much. Once you showed her how her shoulders needed to be, she was able to do it like it was effortless. Ok, so it looked effortless to me. ;) Anyway, just wanted to commend you on your professionalism, attention to detail and your manner with kids. Quincy really responded to you and it was so nice to see such positive results so quickly. I will keep you posted on how she progresses with the new gym. It was hard for her to leave her friends, but she is working hard and enjoying it so far. Thanks again, Lisa
