You’re Just a Gymnastics Coach: Turning a Label into a Leadership Career
“So… you’re just a gymnastics coach?”
I’ve heard that my whole life—until I used it as fuel to build the career I’d only dreamed of. In this session, I’ll share my journey from gymnast and part-time coach to judge, program director, and consulting business owner, and the real (sometimes uncomfortable) lessons I learned about leadership along the way.
We’ll talk honestly about the hard parts: setting boundaries, having tough conversations, advocating for yourself, and thinking like a leader even when your title doesn’t say “manager” yet. Coaches and managers will leave with practical tools to create a professional growth plan, identify their next steps, and start treating their role like the career it truly is—not something they’re “just” doing.
