Xcel Coach of the Year Spring 2023
Nominations
Jessica Friedman
I would like to nominate Jessica
Friedman for Xcel Coach of the Year.
Jessica started the Xcel Program in
our club, and it's been a pleasure to watch it grow year after
year.
Jessica is dedicated to helping our
Xcel athletes be the best athletes and people they can be.
She takes our team philosophy of "building strong and confident
young people through the sport of gymnastics" and applies it to
the Xcel team... It's awesome to see our Xcel athletes
being coached like all the other team members. This is due
to Jessica's tireless effort and endless enthusiasm with these
athletes.
Jessica is constantly searching for
new talent in our recreational program by hosting "team tryouts"
several times a year. She places the most athletic in our
developmental program, and takes nearly everyone else into the
Xcel Program. It's inspiring how she believes in our
mantra of "gymnastics is for everyone" and happily coaches
athletes of ANY ability. As a gym owner, I am thankful for
Jessica's efforts to continually grow the Xcel team, as well as
her care and guidance of all our Xcel athletes!
