Krystie, my coach, is my strength in every way. When I fall apart like a shattered window, she puts me back together with her heart.

                                                                                    

When I met Krystie she was so amazing. I felt like I belonged in the gymnastics center. She made me feel comfortable with the kids and the coaches. When I met her I thought she was so kind. Then and there I knew she was going to be my coach for ever. I knew I was right for the gymnastics center.

Krystie pushed me to do my best in all my routines.  When I was disappointed that I didn’t make a trick, she would comfort me and tell me, “You can do it, I believe in you”. When I started or finished a routine, she would cheer for me and give me hugs and high fives.  Krystie was encouraging to all her students.

Krystie taught me in a way that I understood. She would demonstrate a routine and then we would do it in parts. This helped me because I could remember the moves and work on them. She taught in a calm way, spoke slowly and her voice was low. When I messed up, Krystie explained the move in a different way and it made it easier for me. If I was absent, Krystie wouldn’t teach a new move because she didn’t want her students to be behind. She was very patient and would do anything to make her students succeed.

When I took gymnastics with Krystie, I felt like I was in a different universe; just as if Krystie and I were in a world of our own. Every thing turned pink and purple like the colors she wore. I felt like I was in heaven. Krystie made me feel like I was at home with everything I love. She cared for me and the team like we were her children. She was like a second mother to all of us.

All of a sudden Krystie got fired. I was crying hysterically when I heard the news. The day she got fired there was practice so I went. Krystie was standing outside in the parking lot and acted like she was happy but I knew she wasn’t. She didn’t share the reasons so we were all confused.

Krystie will always be my favorite coach. She touched my life in every way. There is a chance that my mom will let me follow her to the gym where she is now coaching. Krystie is like the booty won in war! I will never forget the best coach in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
