Lisa McIntyre: Gymnastics Mom “Trusting The Process”

#5 In episode five, I talk with Gymnastics Mamma, Lisa McIntyre- who maybe just like you! She is the mother of two competitive gymnasts from Michigan Elite in Novi, Michigan. In this episode Lisa speaks her TRUTH and experiences as a gymnastics mom. I encourage you to listen to the whole episode as its truly one of transformative thinking.

Lisa and I discuss the trials of being a gymnastics mom in such a challenging sport, and how nutrition especially has played a critical roll in her picky daughter’s development. We touch upon her daughters developed empowerment by better food choices to become better athletes and how letting go and trusting the process has been her best way of stress free gymnastics mamma living.
Lisa has a Masters in Counseling and sat in the stands like so many of our gymnastics parents wondering what was the right way to deal with coaches, nutrition and the sport itself. If you are a parent of a gymnast you will find many of the same questions occur in your thought processes and ultimately Lisa’s path was to let go and trust the process of it all. Lisa also is the owner of her own spirit wear/accessory company where she creates inspiring t-shirts, lunch purses, clothing and other accessories for gymnasts.
