My mornings generally start the same.
I get up, turn on NPR, make coffee as I scan the headlines then head to the gym to work out. This morning was no different. After I checked the news and weather I checked Facebook. There was a great status posted by one of my FB Friends from Texas.
I’m watching Katy at gymnastics practice and she is all smiles and so incredibly happy. Can you imagine finding your passion at such a young age?
……People gasp and give me “looks” when I tell them how many hours she is at practice….but if their baby says to them what Katy has said to me “if you take gymnastics away from me it’s like taking food or water away” they too would understand my level of support.
To which I commented:
This is the best thing I could possibly have read first thing in the morning. It is something I try to show each gymnast I work with. That they should do this for the love of the sport. This is something I try to teach each coach. That what we teach is WAY MORE than just gymnastics.
And she responded:
Tony I agree and it absolutely matters that her coaches create a healthy environment for her to thrive. What you and Gym Momentum camp do to train coaches makes a difference. See you in Boston!
Thank You Stacy! You made my day!
