“I’m a coach because of the kids and the passion I have for the game and sport itself. There is no better feeling than teaching a child the importance of discipline, hard work, team effort, dedication, determination and the heart it takes win not inly in sports, but in life. ” ~ Bill Pingitor
Meet Your Coach!
I am a Yakima girl! I attended Apple Valley, West Valley Middle, Junior High and High School. I was always very dedicated to my studies as well as my athletics. I was a competitive gymnast growing up spending most of my time outside of school doing gymnastics. I would spend hours a day and it never seemed to be enough. I was very dedicated and determined. After high school I graduated from the University of Washington where I competed as a Husky gymnast. Upon returning to Yakima, I married my best friend, Christian. Together we are raising two awesome high-energy kids, Cohen (11) and Gracie (9). I have always had a passion for gymnastics and anything active. I love sports and especially love watching my own kids accomplish their own dreams in athletics. Being active is so important for your body, your mind and your spirit. Lessons I have learned from gymnastics include goal setting, developing objectives, hard work and perseverance, all have helped me navigate life’s challenges. I am committed to sharing my passion for gymnastics and athletics with the kids of the Yakima Valley. My goal is to provide fun, safe, and active experiences for kids of all ages. I believe gymnastics teaches kids hard work, body awareness, flexibility, strength, coordination and teamwork. I am so excited to have the opportunity to see my dreams come true here at Champion Gymnastics and Athletics!
