Favorite aspect of coaching: Sam’s  favorite aspect of coaching is helping prepare the girls for competitions and helping build their confidence for their routine as a whole and each athlete’s  individual skills. She thinks it is great to see the excitement on their faces when they hit a routine or hit an individual skill that is new or they have been struggling with. You are able to see  their eyes light up and you can just see the confidence build within themselves and within their team. Sam enjoys hearing the bell ring and everyone in the gym stopping what they are doing to see the new skill someone got, it encourages the girls to be supportive of one another and as a coaches It’s nice to see what everyone in the gym is doing not just the team and girls she coaches.
