Off Topic Coach is leaving next week :(

[Newandlovingit!]

Well, as you can tell from the title, my coach is leaving next week. We have two more practices, and then she's done. She has taught me everything I have learned in the short 7-8 months I've been doing gym, and I honestly can't imagine training with anyone else! We are throwing a going away party with the rest of the team girls this week, but I just wanted to know if anyone had anything special that they did for their coach. Thanks for the replies.

Aw, hope your coach comes back and visits sometimes! A few years ago, a coach that had been with the gym since it opened 13 years ago left and it was really hard on everyone. We went to a waterpark and had a banquet and during the last practice, everyone cried for a good half an hour. Good thing was she came back to visit every month or two. Good luck!

Thanks, however I don't think she will be visiting to much as she is moving out-of-state. Thanks for the sympathy!

Write her a nice note and frame a picture of the two of you. The note will be so meaningful.

Definitely a card, I did that when one of my coaches left, and again when I left. Tell her how much you appreciate her and how much she's taught you.

Our coach recently left and we all chipped in about 15/20 dollars and got her a necklace with an engraving on the back 'love your gym girls' and we all wrote cards
