My avatar is a result of a nickname I was given as a cruel joke. The first year that we had a camp with our level 5 team at the beach. All of the kids and coaches were given nicknames. The coaches gave me mine. Tumble - because that was all I coached and Yoda because I was the oldest and shortest coach on staff. Plus I knew quite a bit about tumbling coming from my gymnastics background. It wasn't until I left many years later that I discovered they really meant it as an insult not a complement.
I have since embraced the name and use it often. I am short, and old, (definitely not green but have a few wrinkles - lol) and know a lot. I do have my unique way of working with athletes that gets a lot out of them. But daggone it I have coaching kids since I was 16 and I am 48 now so I should know a lot:D
