Meet the Head Coaches

Vahid Moavenzadeh

I have been coaching gymnastics for almost 8 years. I have a degree in Social Sciences with a focus in Social Work. As the eldest of many siblings, I have always had a natural affinity for working with young people. In the world of gymnastics I have combined my training in social work and love of physical therapy (taking classes on the side) to pursue a mission of disrupting old school coaching practices and fostering a healthy, empowering and collaborative training culture.

Fun fact: Before finding gymnastics, I opened an orphanage in Honduras, ran its volunteer program and served on the board of directors. After serving for a number of years, I moved on and created a small micro-finance program to help young Hondurans start businesses and gain financial independence.

I started doing gymnastics in 1999 and began coaching gymnastics in 2006 with recreational gymnasts, moving to coaching team gymnasts in 2013. I love several aspects of gymnastics, especially all of the life lessons that it teaches to everyone involved and the way it pushes out of your comfort zone to experience more than you thought you could. As a coach, I strive to maintain safety in all aspects to help each gymnast reach their full potential within our sport.

Outside of gymnastics, I enjoy working out and playing board games.
