If you’ve seen a new face out on the coaching floor it’s because we have a new member of our growing gymnastics coaching staff – Brian Zook!

Brian competed on Western Michigan University’s men’s gymnastics team and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education… a perfect foundation for a career rooted in educating some of the most talented gymnastics athletes and gym owners in the country.

Brian has been coaching for over 4 decades, with a long history in leading gymnasts through state, regional and national successes. He not only coaches but has expert experience with the inner workings of gymnastics’ competitions as he has been a director for over 60 sanctioned events throughout his career. Brian also has a passion for spreading his wealth of knowledge, investing a portion of his time into leading other coaches and gym owners at the annual USA Gymnastics’ State, Regional and National Congress and training camps.

Brian was most recently head coach to elite gymnast Leah Clapper and was instrumental in her advancement to the USA Championships.

“My style of coaching is based on building confidence, being positive, and motivating gymnast to do their best. Coaching gymnastics is not just about teaching skills it is also about building character.” -Brian

We could not be more excited to have his unique and diverse set of coaching skills and strength in the gym and accessible to our EVO family!
