As one of our competitive gymnastics coaches, Colleen is truly inspired by the sport. She got her start as a young competitive gymnast in Illinois. Due to many injuries sustained throughout her gymnastics career, Colleen shifted her focus to coaching in high school. She's taught Parent & Me classes as well as competitive gymnastics.

Through our work, she helps young athletes grow in their love for gymnastics and coaches them in the areas of strength and technique. Her dreams of becoming an Olympic gymnast have been surpassed by her desire to be an Olympic gymnastics coach.

Our success is built in part on Colleen's ability to inspire leadership and instill kindness in others.
