✨ Coach Spotlight: Karen! ✨
We’re wrapping up our Coach Spotlight series with someone very special! 💜 Karen has been Illusions Head Coach since 2003, dedicating so many years to our club, our gymnasts, and our coaching team.
💜 Favorite food: Alfredo pasta
💜 Favorite apparatus: Clubs
💜 Favorite artist: Ed Sheeran
Outside of the gym, Karen loves spending time with her family and travelling! And we have an extra special celebration, Karen is getting married! 💍🥂 We couldn’t be happier for her and wish her so much love and happiness in this exciting new chapter!
This season, Karen will be helping coach our Acro Technique class and covering some of Shaelyn’s classes during her maternity leave.
Karen is always willing to lend a hand wherever she’s needed, and she genuinely cares about both our coaches and gymnasts. She is such a supportive presence on our team, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does for Illusions, both on and off the floor. 💜
What better way to finish our Coach Spotlight series than by celebrating someone who has been such an important part of Illusions for so many years! We’re so lucky to have Karen on our team!
Thank you to all our amazing coaches for everything you do to make Illusions such a special place. 💜
