Where Engineering meets gymnastics!

If you are a coach of gymnastics, young or old, take some time to listen to this refreshing up and coming coach!

Coach Taylor and I are just two coaches hanging out talking about his journey in gymnastics, his passion and recent career change.

 We discuss the structure of the sport and how it molded him. The love and WHY people need to do gymnastics!!! How gymnastics is quite simply PHYSICS and how it carries over to EVERYTHING in life!

We also discuss several other important topics.  What its like being a collegiate walk-on  gymnast, the love for the sport, the topic of  diversity, inclusion  and race relations as being the “elephant in the room."

In this podcast we have an honest and frank discussion on the fact that we all have work to do!  The Gymgineer does a great job equating progressions of race relations to progressions of gymnastics skills-genius!

He also gives props to strong women and men coaching partnerships! We discuss  athletes who want to quit and dealing with conflict analytically and empowering kids! 

Check Coach Taylor out! 

Other topics we cover:

 Career change,  taking a pay cut for passion!

Mental health being happy in your career!

How much he loves pizza, play football and his dog Lima!
