Welcome!

I'm the creator behind The Gymnastics ProShop.

​

My journey into gymnastics began more than 10 years ago when my daughter enrolled in a recreational gymnastics class. Like many parents, I knew very little about the sport beyond watching the Olympic Games every four years. What started as a fun activity quickly grew into a passion for both my daughter and our entire family.

​

As my daughter progressed through the competitive ranks and eventually became an optional gymnast, I found myself spending countless hours learning everything I could about the sport. I researched scoring, attended competitions, spoke with coaches, studied the different competitive programs, and immersed myself in the gymnastics community. The more I learned, the more fascinated I became by the sport and the incredible athletes who participate in it.

​

Today, I bring a unique perspective as a gymnastics mom, gym owner, and coach. I've had the opportunity to experience gymnastics from multiple viewpoints—watching from the stands as a parent, working with athletes as a coach, and helping manage a gymnastics facility. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the challenges, questions, and rewards that gymnastics families encounter throughout their journey.

​

One thing I've learned over the years is that gymnastics can feel overwhelming for new parents. Between understanding levels, scoring, mobility requirements, competitions, training schedules, and the many acronyms used throughout the sport, there is a steep learning curve. I remember what it felt like to be that parent with a hundred questions and very few answers.

​

That's why I created The Gymnastics ProShop.

​

My goal is to help parents better understand the sport, support their athletes with confidence, and enjoy the journey along the way. Whether you're trying to understand what a 9.2 score means, preparing for your child's first competition, navigating team tryouts, or simply learning the difference between compulsory and optional gymnastics, I hope you'll find helpful information and practical guidance here.

Gymnastics is about so much more than medals and scores. It teaches perseverance, confidence, discipline, resilience, and life skills that extend far beyond the gym walls. Having watched these lessons shape my own daughter and countless athletes over the years, I'm passionate about helping other families experience the same rewards.

Thank you for being part of The Gymnastics ProShop community. I'm excited to share this journey with you.
