Trampoline & Tumbling Team
Our objectives are to teach everyone to their highest individual potential in a happy, positive environment and to further develop the individuals who show aptitude towards the Junior Elite National Team level and beyond.
I was born in Uzbekistan, which was part of the Soviet Union at the time. Uzbekistan has produced many world champions and Olympic medalists. I began my career as a professional trampoline athlete, competing internationally as part of the national team and traveling worldwide for competitions. After retiring from competitive sports in 2000, I transitioned into coaching and earned my university degree, specializing in trampoline and gymnastics. Over the years, I’ve coached in several countries, including Canada, India, New Zealand, and Qatar, and served as head coach for various teams. Some of my athletes have competed in World Championships, World Cups, and the Youth Olympics. Currently, I’m proud to lead the program as Head Coach at Houston Gymnastics Center at the Jewish Community Center, where we’ve seen great success with children competing in elite programs and preparing to represent the United States National Team.
