NGA Coach of the Year Spring 2023

Nominations

Emma Huffstutter

I would like to nominate Ema Huffstutter, from Santa Rosa Gymnastics, for the NGA Coach Of
The Year.

Ema has been with SRGC since she was 2 years old, first as a student, then competitor and
now as an excellent coach! Ema has worked her way up coaching throughout all levels and
takes her role as a leader, mentor and instructor very seriously. She manages her teams with
fairness, kindness and positivity; while still demanding the discipline, skill level and work ethic we require for our teams. Our gymnasts look to Ema for her wisdom, strength and guidance and she never wavers in giving that and in upholding our standards and culture of our gym. She is constantly striving to learn and spends many hours researching drills, techniques and helpful hints in order to make our gymnasts successful in achieving their goals. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed this year at NGA Regionals, where one of our level 7’s received a 10.0 on vault. This is a direct result of her excellent coaching!

This was our first season competing in NGA, and Ema quickly and efficiently learned the system as well as the rules. She has adapted well to the change and made our gymnasts and teams successful in their endeavors throughout the season. I know everyone who has had the
pleasure to compete on the floor with Ema will testify that she is a team player and helpful to other teams and coaches. Many times I have witnessed Ema running to help other teams move equipment, video, pull boards and cheer other gymnasts to success! This is the Culture of NGA, one that Ema illuminates brightly.

I would be overjoyed and I know Ema would be deeply honored to receive this award. Please
consider this fantastic person for your first ever NGA Coach Of The Year Award!

Thank you for your consideration.

Fabricio Breeze Olson

I would like to nominate Fabricio “Breeze” Olsen of Rising Star for NGA coach of the year. Breeze is a positive vibe no matter what at every meet he is at. He is always positive with not only his gymnasts, but every other team there. Breeze has made sure that not only he respects every gymnast in that room, but that his own team takes the time to get to know the other kids out there and that they cheer on each other and the other teams. And all of this while helping gymnasts to excel and make their mark in whatever their gymnastics journey is.

On top of all of this, he has made sure to mentor and help other coaches and gymnasts in Nor Cal to realize their potential. When he has time, he does not hesitate to travel to another gym to help out when needed, or to let a coach wanting to learn tag along with him at a competition.

It is for these reasons and many more that I would like to Nominate Coach Breeze for Coach of the year in Not Cal for NGA. Thank you!I

I'd like to nominate Fabrico "Breeze" Olson from Rising Star Gymnastics as the 2023 NGA coach of the year. Coach Breeze always goes above and beyond when we coaches. His knowledge is as endless as his passion. He makes having fun a priority and manages to make all forms of hard work just that. Coach Breeze is all inclusive. He motivates our kids to do their very best at meets and encourages them to support their fellow competitors. At every single meet he has his squad learn the names of every gymnast in our rotation group and cheers for each of them as if they are from his own gym. We are blessed to have him.
