MEET OUR COACHES

---

 Jessi has loved movement her entire life. She grew up in Grass Valley and spent as much time in the gym as possible. In high school, Jessi competed with the team at Gold Country while also performing with an advanced dance group. She started coaching in 2012 and has coached in both California and Arizona. Her time in Arizona was spent learning from exceptional coaches and directing a circus performance group. Jessi loves nothing more than helping athletes push through boundaries and aid in making their gymnastics dreams a reality. 

My name is Delilah and I am 18 years old.  I recently graduated from High School and am attending Jr. College locally.  I competed for 7 years and have been coaching the last 2 years.  My personal philosophy as a coach is to help each child be successful and achieve their own personal goals. I want them to look forward to practice. I really believe in showing positivity to everyone and telling each gymnast to always try their best.

Andrew has loved gymnastics since he was little. His coach’s strong, caring and consistent methods resonated with him in a way that has left a lasting impression. After competing with us for several years, Andrew decided he wanted to share what he has learned with the younger kids. He loves to work with the kids and hopes to 

provide insight on gymnastics skills to learn and thrive in an environment of respect, discipline and fun!

Hi my name is Nathan Arthur but you can call me Coach Nate.  I am a Senior at Nevada Union High School this year.   I have been at the gym for as long as I can remember.  It is practically a second home for me. I did competitive gymnastics for 11 years and I’ve been coaching gymnastics for about 2 years.  At the beginning of my coaching career, I worked birthday parties and boys recreational classes. I have been coaching team for about a year now and I love every second of it. The best part of coaching the boys team is the relationships I have built with the boys. 

Chance has been with us since he was little and competed for many years.  He recently started coaching the rec boys classes and is a natural with them.  He knows how to make class fun while also teaching the skills to help the boys progress.

I have been a part of Gold Country Gymnastics since I was 5 years old. I worked my way up the levels to Team and enjoyed every minute of it.  I decided to stop competing and start coaching last year.  I love being able to help younger kids discover their passion for gymnastics, just like my coaches did for me.

My Name is Willow and I did competitive gymnastics for 8 years.  I have been coaching for just over a year now and I am loving it. I love seeing the kids try their hardest and finally succeed.

Alyssa has been with Gold Country Gymnastics for over 5 years and competed most of those.  She just recently decided to quit competitive Gymnastics and switch to coaching.  She loves working with the kids and is eager to learn the coaching side of the sport.

Eliza just joined us after being one of our pre-team kids several years ago.  She loves working with the younger kids and hopes to help them fall in love with gymnastics like she did.
