John Dae Min

MISSION

The promotion of gymnastics and athletics through positive, safe, technical progressions using modern equipment, professionally-trained instructors, and refined methods to nourish the intellectual, motivational, and psychological well-being of the child. I have personally designed, tested, and implemented a new curriculum of coaching gymnastics-based sports to children for three decades. My priority is always and foremost the complete safety, wellness and health of the individual child. No negative, abusive, callous or improper technical approach is tolerated.
