Natalia

Natalia Gymnastics has been a part of my life for almost 15 years, and has truly shaped who I am today. I began training when I was 4 years old, joined elite when I was 7 and have been a member of the club ever since. I am currently training and competing as a level 9 artistic gymnast. Throughout my training, I’ve been fortunate to have some incredible opportunities, including many competitions and even traveling to Bulgaria to train with my team, which was a truly valuable and unforgettable experience! My passion for the sport led me into coaching. I am now a qualified level 2 coach and a Level 1 floor and vault judge. Transitioning into these roles has given me a whole new perspective on gymnastics. I’ve come to deeply appreciate not only the technical beauty of the sport, but also the resilience, confidence, and determination it builds in every gymnast. My goal as a coach isn't just to help build better athletes, but to help them truly believe in themselves. Being able to watch them grow, whether that’s learning a new skill or simply gaining more confidence in the gym, is such a rewarding feeling, and it’s the primary reason I love coaching.  I am incredibly grateful to be in a position where I can share the lessons gymnastics and my amazing coaches taught me and help inspire the next generation of gymnasts at Elite!
