Gracie’s journey with trampoline gymnastics began like many of our athletes: with a spark of excitement and a tremendous work ethic. That spark quickly grew into something extraordinary. Season after season, Gracie climbed higher, eventually rising to become one of the top double mini athletes in the world.

Her competitive résumé places her among the most decorated American double mini trampoline athletes of her generation.

A Leader in the Gym

While Gracie’s achievements on the world stage are remarkable, what makes her irreplaceable at Carolina Elite is who she is as a coach and mentor.

​

Gracie has a natural gift for connecting with athletes — especially young competitors who see in her someone they aspire to become. She brings an elite athlete’s attention to detail but communicates with warmth, patience, and encouragement. Her coaching style reflects both her technical expertise and her heart for helping athletes believe in themselves.

In the gym, Gracie is known for:

​

• Her calm, steady leadership

• Her ability to simplify difficult concepts

• Her contagious positivity

• Her fierce belief in every athlete she coaches

• Her commitment to helping others succeed, not just win

 

She understands the pressure of international competition and uses that experience to guide athletes mentally, emotionally, and technically.
