Coach Amy is a 2006 graduate from SUNY Cortland with a degree in exercise science and kinesiology with a base in sports psychology. Amy has been coaching gymnastics for over two decades. She firmly believes without the base that gymnastics gave her in discipline and strength that she would not have been nearly as successful in the rest of her athletic career. Coach Amy likes to bring a balance of strength training, discipline and self awareness to all of her athletes. She believes there’s nothing more important than a child being held accountable for themselves so as they grow they will take that accountability to everything they do whether in school, friendships or athletics. When Coach Amy isn’t in the gym she owns a screen printing business in Red Hook.  She put her degree to the side to take over her fathers business so that he could retire. She applies all of her degree in the gym when coaching her athletes. Nothing brings more pride to coach Amy then watching her athletes grow. Whether they stay with gymnastics and continue to be in the gym with her or they go on to pursue other athletics or other extracurricular activities. She thinks there’s nothing better than when she gets a call, email or text from a parents excited to show what a wonderfully well rounded individual they’ve grown in to.
