Level(s) Coached - Optionals (level 6-10) and sapphire, mainly on vault and bars

My name is Ashley Stewart. My parents put me in gymnastics at the age of 2 to get some energy out. I quickly fell in love with the sport and began the competition team. After 3 years of competing, I quit for a few years and tried other things. I missed gymnastics so much. I found Easley Gymnastics as an 8th grader and decided to start gymnastics again. I finished out high school competing at Easley, and began coaching here in 2013. I went to Clemson University initially for engineering. However, I quickly realized I wanted to continue coaching this amazing sport, and felt a strong calling to do so. With that in mind, I changed majors and graduated from Clemson University in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in business economics and a minor in athletic leadership. I became the head coach of Easley Gymnastics in 2019. My main hope is to help athletes become the best people and gymnasts they can be. I hope to instill a strong work-ethic, high motivation and drive, self-confidence, faith, discipline, kindness, teamwork, and courage in each one of the athletes I get the privilege of coaching. I got married in August of 2023, and I enjoy hanging out with my family and dogs when I am not in the gym.

My name is Kayley Mills. I started competing at age 6 and competed for 11 years, going all the way through level 10. My coaching journey began at Easley Gymnastics in 2017. I stayed at Easley through 2020 and decided to take a year away from coaching to join the Army National Guard, where I am currently a combat medic. I found my way back into coaching in 2022 after graduating from Clemson University with a bachelor's degree in nutrition. I coached the optionals at the gym where I grew up for a season before making the decision to come back to Easley Gymnastics this last year. My favorite part of coaching is when an athlete and I are able to work together as a team to solve a problem they have been struggling with. Outside of coaching, I enjoy baking and spending time with my dogs and family.

 My name is Breeze Jackson. I started gymnastics at age 4 and competed for 8 years. I started coaching because I missed the sport so much. I missed the tumbling and the fun floor routines where you got to show your personality, and I missed the gymnastics atmosphere so I decided to go back and coach athletes who love to do this amazing sport! When I’m not coaching, I work as a full time mom/baby nurse. I also enjoy self care. In my free time you can find me reading a book, exercising, or enjoying some time at the nail salon! But my favorite thing to do is spending time with my family!  

Level (s) Coached - Compulsory (Level 2-4) and xcel bronze-platinum, mainly on vault and bars

My name is Wind, I started gymnastics when I was 3 years old, then competed for 9 years until I graduated high school. I have been coaching at Easley for 3 years now.

I coach because I love the technicality of gymnastics, and I love teaching kids how they can do incredible things. My favorite part of coaching is watching a gymnast’s face as they understand a concept or a movement, and seeing my gymnasts progress as athletes and as people.

I am currently working on my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science at University of South Carolina Upstate. I hope to bring this knowledge into the gym and use it to be the best coach I can.
Outside of gymnastics, I enjoy walking outdoors, playing video games with my friends, and spending time with my cats and family.

(Level 2-4) bars and floor

Hi, my name is Leane Reynolds. I grew up in NC and was a competitive gymnast all the way through level 10. I went on to compete in college at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where I also majored in Athletic Training. I specialized on bars and beam in college and became a two-time All American on bars. After college I married my husband, Justin, and we began our coaching journey and family together! I have coached compulsory gymnasts for about 9 years and absolutely love coaching those levels. Most recently I coached at Perfect Balance in Charlotte, NC and was the director of their compulsory program. We moved to Clemson in April of 2024 with our 2 girls, Adilynn (5) and Evelynn (2) when my husband was hired as the assistant gymnastics coach at Clemson University. Our whole family has such a passion for gymnastics and we wouldn’t want it any other way!

 Hi! My name is Bella and I have been coaching for 3 years. I am currently a gymnast as well at Easley and have been for the past 11 years. I started coaching because I wanted to share my passion of this sport with the next generation of young girls, not knowing how rewarding it would become. My favorite part of coaching is watching the girls meet their goals, or when a former gymnast will come to me and ask me to help them work through a struggle. I love knowing that they trust me to help guide them through their struggles, as I have most likely been in the same situation at some point. A fun fact about myself is that I want to become a Biomedical Engineer!

 My name is Anna Smith. I started gymnastics at the age of 1 and competed for about six years at Easley Gymnastics! I began coaching because of my consistent love for gymnastics and passion for helping kids. I strive to keep my athletes happy, strong snd healthy, which I believe is a huge key to success. Athletics have always been an immense part of my life. I played Lacrosse in high school and won Lacrosse Upper State Player of the year my senior year of high school. I currently attend Clemson University studying criminal justice, with minors in sports communication and psychology. When I am not coaching, I enjoy attending Clemson football games, going to the lake, and hanging out with friends.
