Coaching Philosophy
We make sure we always have the full athlete in mind. We plan the appropriate breaks and time frames for a healthy practice as well as asking our athletes how they are feeling. We do this all while explaining our goals for them. Transparency and communication are key to healthy development. We explain that there is no instant gratification, but we do celebrate mini goals that lead us to our ultimate goal.
Coaching Experience
Tiffany began her gymnastics journey at the age of three. With her goals set high, she was granted the opportunity to train alongside the Magnificent 7 as they prepared for the ’96 Olympic Games. This elite level training sparked a passion inside her that fuels her to this day. She backs her expertise in the sport with 20 years of coaching at the recreational, competitive, and collegiate levels.
Most Memorable Sports Moment
Being an advocate for children and coaches, helping bring awareness to the values of the sport outside of the gym, and spending some time with the kids as they live out their dreams.
