Everyone has someone they can look up to; a role model. This person can be a family member, a friend, a fictional character, or a famous person. One person I really look up to is my gymnastics coach Sam Zeman.
I have had many great experiences with this guy, and never a bad one. Sam is 49 years old and is a short white bald guy. He is hardworking and always willing to lend a helping hand. Sam is dedicated to his coaching and passionate about the sport and his gymnasts. His primary goal is to watch his gymnasts become successful. He wants to see his kids do the best they can while having fun in the process. Sam is very good at making sure people understand what he is saying. Especially in gymnastics, some things can be confusing, and Sam is excellent at rewording phrases so that you have a clear understanding of the topic.
I have many good experiences with this man, but nothing compares to the time we have spent training in the gym. When we are in the gymnastics room, I see Sam as a coach and a friend leading me and my teammates toward our goals. All practice, I hear music blasting in the background to help motivate me and my teammates. The music also makes practice more fun. I smell the pool water and chlorine in the gym because the school's pool is in the room right beneath us. I taste chalk in the air as well as the chlorine from the swimming pool. I feel great during and after my workout; and am glad to have such a great coach train me in my sport. I feel hardworking and physically well, while feeling cared for and appreciated. Sam is a great coach and an awesome friend.
