When did you first begin playing this sport?

I started gymnastics when I was 4.

Do you want to continue this sport in college?

I don’t want to do it in college because it’s so competitive.

Who was a prominent coach in your career? Why?

I would say a prominent coach was Inez May, she was one of my club coaches.

What other activities/clubs are you involved in?

Working at Sunshine Daycare.

How do you feel going into this season?

I’m really happy that we are fortunate enough to have a season and hope that it lasts, right now everything is virtual, we can’t do the bus rides and can’t do team dinners and stuff like that but we can still practice which is good.

What are some goals set for the team this coming season?/How do you plan to achieve these goals?

I would say the biggest goal is to just keep a positive attitude towards the season and we are trying our best to keep the team spirit high and just make sure everyone is having fun with such a different season this year.

Who are some big opponents/rivals? Why?

Our biggest rivals are definitely Brookwood, which is Brookline/Westwood but I think their season was just cancelled so I don’t know if we will even compete against them and the other one is Braintree so we just hope to win at least one meet.

When did you first begin playing this sport?

I started gymnastics when I was 3.

Do you want to continue this sport in college?

Right now I’m not planning on doing it in college but I might look into a club team or something. 

Who was a prominent coach in your career? Why?

My most prominent coach in my career was my club coach Amy. I think that she is because she’s pushed me to be both the best person and the best gymnast I could be since elementary school. 

What other activities/clubs are you involved in?

I was also a part of the swim and dive team since freshman year.

How do you feel going into this season?

Going into this season I am excited because we have a much bigger team that most years and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish. 

What are some goals set for the team this coming season?/How do you plan to achieve these goals?

For this upcoming season we hope to be able to have all of our meets without having to be shut down. And just hope to be improving throughout the entire season. I plan on achieving this by staying safe, keeping the team at minimal risk and taking advantage of the practice times that we can have. 

Who are some big opponents/rivals? Why?

I think that our biggest rivals would probably be Needham, Braintree, and maybe Brookline/Westwood. The past couple years we have had very similar scores and we hope to be able to beat them this year.
