Gymnastics for Parents

 
As parents of a gymnast, we understand how gymnastics is one of the most rewarding, joyful and stressful things you will ever experience!
 

Gymnastics for parents

Dear Parents, Family and Friends of Gymnasts:

My name is Frank.  I am Rachel’s dad.

Like many of you, my wife Michelle and I are both proud and nervous parents of a child participating in one of the most competitive, beautiful and risky sports in the world.

As a parent, former coach and gymnast who trained and competed with Olympic athletes during my college years at the US Air Force Academy, I cannot imagine a world without gymnastics. It has brought so much joy to my life and to that of family and many close friends.

The best thing we can do for our gymnasts is to show them our unconditional love and support.

Once the 2021 season is completed in a few weeks (after Regionals in May of 2021), I will return to this page and offer up things that our family has learned pre and post COVID-19.

Until then. Be safe and support or amazing scholar-athlete gymnasts!
