Any coach who's worth anything has had a great mentor. Brian Elmore started this club, molded this club, and is the heart of it, and without his infinite patience, time, and hard work, we wouldn't be winning state championships. The only reason I began coaching was because he told me I should, and I wanted to experience just a fraction of the success he had enjoyed in the past with great vaulters like Chris Tamez, Krystal Laughlin, and Ashley Sutton, not to mention the great relationships I'd seen him develop with the super kids that aren't necessarily in the national rankings.
Thanks Brian for all your help and inspiration - you've been a terrific friend and mentor!
