Student Spotlight: Aly Mitchell

Aly with Coach Michella

Aly Mitchell is a 2nd grader at Nebbie Williams Elementary in Rockwall. She first heard about ASI when she had a fantastic time at one of our fabulous birthday parties. She had so much fun, she had to sign up for a Girls Gymnastics class, and after working hard and learning new skills every week, Aly is thriving in her Girls Silver class with Coach Michella!

Quote from Aly

“What I love most about ASI is that everyone is so nice.”

Aly’s favorite subject at school is art, because she loves to draw, but her favorite sport is Gymnastics. Hey! That’s our favorite sport, too! Aly’s favorite event is the bars, because she loves to flip over them. Clearly Aly is not just cute, she’s fearless. That confidence comes with many other benefits of gymnastics classes, like strength, balance, flexibility, determination, discipline, and some great exercise.

Quote from Aly

“I love gymnastics because I get to hang out with my friends and learn new things.”

Coach’s Corner: Michella Seelye

Coach Michella with one of her students, Aly

At ASI, we pride ourselves on our clean, well-lit facilities, but the lights in our gyms don’t hold a candle to the way coaches like Michella Seelye light up when her students achieve a new skill. Michella has been coaching at ASI Rockwall for a few months now, and she is already an important and beloved member of the ASI family. Her positivity and bright, friendly smile make her very popular with her Kidz Gym, Girls Gymnastics, and Boys Gymnastics students.

Quote from Michella

“I love coaching gymnastics because I love seeing children develop new skills. When a child finally masters a skill after having trouble with it, I get so excited for them! In those moments, my heart just overflows with joy. My students probably think I’m crazy when they finally get their cartwheel, because I start shouting with joy and clapping!”

When Michella left her home in the Houston Area (Oak Ridge North, to be precise), she asked her gym manager there if he knew of any good gyms in the Dallas area. He told her that ASI was the best gym in Dallas, hands down, and Michella could not agree more. Coaching at ASI has been the best job Michella has ever had, and she loves her second family at work! Since she started coaching at ASI, Michella has felt so welcomed and supported.

Quote from Michella

“I would recommend that people apply at ASI because it is a place where they truly care about what your strengths are and helping you get in the best position for you.”

Her new job at ASI is not the only big change in Michella’s life” She just got Married! Congrats, Michella!

Sales Spotlight: Shannon Kennedy

Shannon Kennedy is an all-star Sales Rep at our newest ASI location in The Woodlands. She went to Pflugerville High School outside of Austin, TX, but now she calls the Houston area home. She applied at ASI this summer because her roommate was an ASI Sales Rep and raved about it. Shannon took her word for it, and now she couldn’t be happier!

Quote from Shannon

“What I love most about ASI is how awesome the staff is. Every single person at the gym went above and beyond to introduce themselves and make me feel comfortable.”

Shannon has been the perfect addition to the Sales team in The Woodlands. A sales position fit perfectly with Shannon’s schedule, and she definitely has what it takes to keep our customers happy. Shannon is a positive, friendly, organized fast learner with outstanding people skills. She loves that her position allows her to get to know every family in the gym and make sure that they are all getting the most out of their ASI experience. Shannon truly loves our customers and their kids, and they love her right back!

Quote from Shannon

“I can not express how much I already love my sales team. Those ladies are amazing! I also love the kiddos that now know my face and run up to me and give me hugs and high fives at Open Gym or when they arrive at the gym from school.”

Quote from Shannon

“I would recommend people to ASI because I think that it is an awesome company to work for. The staff is amazing and so much fun to be around. Not to mention that the atmosphere in the gym is crazy fun and up beat. The music rocks!”

Student Spotlight: Abigail Morse

This adorable little gymnast is Abigail Morse. After every demanding day of 1st Grade at Abbett Elementary, Abigail gets to come burn off some energy at ASI Firewheel in our Gymnastics After School program! She gets a snack, homework help, and quality time with her friends on the trampolines, at the pit, and playing fun games like kickball, foursquare, and even crab soccer. Abigail loves coming to ASI when she gets out of school because she gets to be active and have fun.

Quote from Abigail

“I get to run around with my friends!”

Abigail has been coming to ASI for 4 years now. She started in a Tiny Tots class, but she’s working her way up the gymnastics ladder. In addition to the GAS program, Abigail also continues to improve her gymnastics skills in a Girls Bronze class. For one hour each week, she practices walking across the balance beam, jumping on the trampoline, running down the vault runway, and her favorite, swinging on the bars.

Quote from Abigail

“I love swinging on the bars!”

Even though Abigail loves playing in the gym and learning cool new gymnastics skills, her favorite thing about ASI is the coaches. We’re pretty crazy about our coaches too!

Quote from Abigail

“I love my coaches the most because they are so nice.”

Coach’s Corner: Anna Price

Anna Price is a fun new face at ASI Allen. Her friends and neighbors had been telling her for years that a coaching position at ASI was the job for her. This spring, she finally gave in, and she couldn’t be happier. Anna is right at home in the ASI Allen family.

Quote from Anna

“I love everyone I work with! All of the kids are so much fun to teach and all the coaches are so helpful and nice.”

Anna had a great time coaching at Camp Survivor this summer, and now she is coaching gymnastics classes. Anna started out working alongside experienced coaches, learning proven techniques and skills that she could use to help her students grow in their gymnastics abilities. Thanks to ASI’s comprehensive training process, she knows that she is truly offering her students the highest possible quality of gymnastics instruction.

Quote from Anna

“The coaches do a really good job of training you to be the best possible coach.”

Anna continues to learn and grow and develop as a coach, all to make sure she’s giving every child an incredible experience at ASI. In fact, she has impressed her students, their parents, her coworkers, and her supervisors so much, she was asked to coach a competitive team this season! Anna appreciates that ASI has made her realize her passion for coaching. As far as she is concerned, teaching kids is one of the most rewarding things a person can do, and now she gets to do it every day.

Quote from Anna

“The thing I love most about coaching is seeing a child accomplish a new skill. I love seeing how excited they are and the happiness they get from it!”

Good luck this season, Coach Anna! GO TEAM ASI!
