Hi Everyone! I recently received a job offer to work as a tumbling coach for a school district with every age group. It's only about 9 hours a week, so nothing outrageous, and I'm super excited to start! I have been tumbling and cheering from 6th grade all the way to college, and now that I'm done, my dream is to be a great coach!

Any tips that could help me be a great coach? Things like different common issues and how to help athletes fix them, different ways to motivate athletes, and especially how to get them to respect me. I'm only 19, so I will be rather close in age to many of the highschoolers and am a little worried that will make them respect me less. Any and all tips or ideas are greatly appreciated!
