coach/gymnast
I am both a coach and a gymnast. I can coach any level through team 5. I just got done with my first session of 1 and 2. One of my classes had slightly older girls who were easier to work with. But after working for an hour and a half I still had two and a half hours to practice, plus balancing homework, and oh yeah, trying to find time to eat. My other class was a lot younger, but was so darn cute! Today I also subbed for a teaml 4/5/6 coach after skill testing my younger class. I had such a headache and the latter actually was fun. Technically, I'm not old enough to coach a class by myself, but I had to this week-the worst time. I had to check off certain skills for each individual girl AND get all the others to contain themselves. Truly, I wouldn't quit ever. These girls jsut make me smile and they want to know so much about your life, what you want to be for halloween, how they like your nailpolish, if you have a boyfriend. It's also a conveniant job. Since I don't drive (yet), I walk to work b/c it's only a mile away. Sorry for the long post, but I thought I'd share who I am as a coach.

It was good to hear about you, I think it's a tough job because expectation of people are so high and if a player got falieur than all the blame comes on a coach. Work out World Reviews
