Miss Jana

I see gymnastics as a tool to train children in life's more important lessons. Respect for others, self-respect, loyalty to one's team, responsibility, self-discipline, trustworthiness, honesty, commitment and follow-through. These are just some of the real lessons being learned through gymnastics lessons. It is my hope, years after a child has moved on from their gymnastics experience, that they will look back and see the life-long benefits that the training gave them. It is then that I will know that I have doen my job well.
