 Breeze coaches our level 6-10 optional gymnasts. Breeze started gymnastics at age 4 and competed for 8 years. She started coaching because she missed the sport so much. She missed the tumbling and the fun floor routines where you got to show your personality, and she missed the gymnastics atmosphere so she decided to go back and coach athletes who love to do this amazing sport! When Breeze is not coaching, she enjoys self care. In her free time you can find her reading a book, exercising, or enjoying some time at the nail salon! But her favorite thing to do is spending time with her family! 

 Alyssa coaches our xcel bronze and silver teams. Alyssa started gymnastics (at Easley!) when she was six years old and stayed in the sport for 12 years, all the way through her senior year! She competed through level 8. Alyssa has loved gymnastics from the moment she first stepped into Easley Gymnastics. The gym has always been her second home and a safe environment where she has always felt comfortable and loved. It also has given her some of the greatest friendships and values that she has in life. Alyssa loves coaching because it allows her to pass on the same feelings and values she learned to the kids she works with. It allows her to use my passion for gymnastics to help her kids become the best versions of themselves. Outside of the gym, Alyssa enjoys reading, painting, and being able to spend time with friends and family.  

  Alana coaches our xcel gold, platinum, and diamond teams. Gymnastics has been a part of Alana's life since she was 4 years old. When she saw a friend do a cartwheel in pre-k, she begged her mom to put her in gymnastics classes so she could learn how to do one, too. Alana went on to be a competitive gymnast for 9 years, and she now does gymnastics for fun on the club team at Clemson. Alana coaches because she loves spreading the joy that gymnastics has brought her to others. She hopes to help nurture kids into amazing gymnasts who love the sport as much as she does! In Alana's free time, she enjoys painting and going to the beach. 

 Emma works with our xcel platinum-diamond gymnasts! Emma did gymnastics for about 9 years and has been coaching for a couple years now. She started coaching because she loves being able to pass on her knowledge and help athletes to be the best gymnasts they can be! In Emma’s free time, some of her favorite things to do are going for a run, reading, or having movie nights with friends! 

 Coach Taylor, better known as "Wind" coaches our compulsory level 3-4 gymnasts. Taylor developed the nickname “Wind” while on team with us and it stuck for coaching too. Wind started gymnastics at the age of 3 and competed at Easley for 9 years! Wind started coaching because gymnastics is her whole life, and she loves every part of it and wants to help kids understand how amazing it can be. When she’s not coaching, Wind enjoys art and bouldering!  

 Bella works with our compulsory level 3-4 teams! Bella has been doing gymnastics for 9 years and is currently a level 10 gymnast at Easley! Bella chose to start coaching because she absolutely loves working with kids, and the moments when you can just see them succeed knowing that you helped them along the way means everything to her. Also knowing she was once in their place, she feels she is able to put herself more in their shoes. Outside of gymnastics, a hobby of Bella’s is baking! 

 Anna coaches our xcel gold team. Anna started gymnastics at the age of 1 and competed for about six years at Easley Gymnastics! Anna began coaching because of her consistent love for gymnastics and passion for helping kids. She strives to keep her team happy and robust, which she believes is a huge key to success. Athletics have always been an immense part of her life, as she won Lacrosse Upper State Player of the year her senior year. Anna currently attends Clemson University studying criminal justice, with minors in sports communication and psychology. When Anna isn't coaching, she enjoys attending Clemson football games, going to the lake, and hanging out with friends.
