What is Important or Worthwhile to Pursue in Life?

That’s a hard question to answer, even for adults, let alone for young people to ponder without help. As you know, anything you do in life that’s important or worthwhile has long-lasting effects. Achievement will take focus, dedication and an investment of effort. Understanding this concept is a vital life lesson some young people will never learn until they are aging adults. Yet, some learn it early and get a head start to develop self-reliance and character.

Life Lesson – Investment of Effort

At Dynamic Gymnastics, we teach gymnastics with life lessons in mind. We teach our students to set goals and do the work to reach them. They don’t do this alone.

We coach and mentor every student to help them improve and reach their full physical and mental potential, regardless of the gymnastics program they choose. Gymnastic skills are the path we take to help develop young people. For us, nothing is more important than serving and assisting young students in growing and improving.

Far-Reaching Effects

As Head Coaches for 34 years in 4 gyms, Sorin and Teodora have helped shape the lives of more than 15,000 young people with gymnastic training, mentoring, and competing. The self-knowledge our students gain is extremely valuable. Our experience of teaching and coaching them is precious to us. It has helped us become better coaches and allows us to share in the joy and excitement of our student’s achievements and help them develop and reach their goals.

The Benefits of Our Gymnastics Coaching are Far-Reaching:

• Enhances Complex Motor Skills
• Increase Flexibility
• Build Coordination & Balance
• Improve Personal-Control & Discipline
• Heighten Self-Esteem
• Improve Confidence
• Promote Cognitive Functioning
• Improve Bone Health

Our students benefit from learning new skills and accomplishing their goals. Our students have gained memorable gymnastics experiences involving companionship, social events, practice/workouts, and accomplishing new things. They work at routines that may seem unattainable and sometimes joke around or are playful with teammates. The result is we help develop the individual and build character of the person that’s not afraid of challenges.
