There are definitely a lot of gyms in the area. It mostly depends on where exactly she is located, how far she's willing to travel, and how competitive an atmosphere she is looking for. You definitely hit on the big ones in that immediate area. Some others that are kind of on the outskirts of...
No, not at all. I never would have imagined as a gymnast that the coach could get as nervous as me. As a gymnast, you don't really think about it like that. Now I have pity on my dad since he was my head coach when I was younger. Being a coach or a parent is hard enough on your nerves, but I...
