Do you have to be a gymnast to be a gymnastics coach?

Answer 1

No. If your talking about talent, then no. Of course a little bit is needed but the most important thing in gymnastics is passion and persistance, you also need to believe in yourself. Gymnastics isn't an easy sport, not at all, but if you love it and know what you want to get out of it then you can get there. Remember that everyone has bad patches were nothing works but they come and go. Good luck!

Answer 2

you do not have to be a gymnast/former gymnast but you have to have a lot of knowledge about the sport. Coaching would be easier if you were a gymnast/former gymnast because you as the coach can relate to how your gymnast is improving and maybe make suggestions. For example 'When I did that skill.........'

Answer 3

Not necessarily, however it would be more difficult to do gymnastics if you were very tall (over 6 ft). I am 5' 8' and am the perfect size. However, the smaller you are, the better.
