Her dad was one of the most influential people in my life growing up. Many hours of my life was spent in the gymnastics gym with girls that are still some of my best friends today. He helped shape us at a young age. It took tears of fear to allow for proud moments of success, but they were all worth the experience. He now has a daughter who is a year away from exploring some big cities on her own. Bryon and Tanya, you have clearly shaped this girl’s life in a way that gives her the confidence to seek adventure. She is confident, not afraid to laugh at herself, and great athlete and coach. Alyssa is looking to venture off to the east coast for some big city life next year. For now, soak up this last year of amazing times with your favorite people.
