Wrote a summary of findings for the client

I competed from age 7-17 in a competitive field from state to local competitions. I had such a love for the sport and my coaches when I retired from competing I decided to coach gymnastics myself to show loyalty to my gym. As a sports coach at Girls Inc., I learned how to work with girls ages 5-12 while coaching three separate teams. I taught them the fundamentals of gymnastics, as well as teamwork, confidence, and resilience. I also helped them prepare for and compete in regional and state tournaments, where they achieved multiple awards and recognition.
