It ’ s Miller Time
Things are changing at 20 Mile Athletic Center . Recently the USAG Girls competition program went through a major overhaul after losing their Team Director . The coaching loss was followed by an uncertainty of where the program would be headed . As fate would have it the owner , JR Jaquay , received a resume from a Texas coach looking for a change . In mid June , Jaquay received a resume from Stephanie Miller , a coach who had spent the last 5 years coaching girls competitive gymnastics at a well respected training center in Denton , Texas . Miller was looking to make a life change and Jaquay saw an opportunity to restart his girls program . It just so happened that Jaquay was scheduled to coach a gymnastics camp in Denton in late July . He knew that fate was making a statement . “ I just felt that I was being led to Stephanie . She submitted her resume just weeks before I was going to travel to the town in Texas where she worked . I couldn ’ t pass this opportunity up .” Jaquay stated . The interview occurred at Starbucks and what was anticipated to last 30 minutes went well beyond that . Jaquay recalls , “ I was so intrigued by her responses to my interview questions that we ended up having a nearly 90 minute meeting . I was very impressed by her attitude and philosophy .” That meeting led Jaquay to request a second interview , this time having Miller fly to Parker so he could see her work with his athletes . What he saw was the spark of a person who loved gymnastics . The athletes and parents saw that too . Miller definitely left an impression on 20 Mile and was offered the position of Head Girls Coach . Miller ’ s former employer has stated that she valued her as employee because of her high work ethic , strong attention to detail and ability to get maximum results from her athletes . Jaquay already sees a drastic change in the attitude of the athletes . “ Stephanie just commands attention . She has the knowledge to make the slightest corrections in order to get the most out of each routine .” Jaquay says .
During the last few months , Jaquay has taken over the reigns of Girls Team Director . Since the time he has taken over he has implemented a high standard of communication , creating parent socials and laying out expectations of both athletes and parents . With the addition of Stephanie as Head Girls Coach , he sees the momentum continue to build into a strong gymnastics family the girls program had been lacking for some time . Coach Miller will continue to work with JR in implementing strength and conditioning programs as well as athlete expectations that will create a new system of success for Team 20 Mile . The goal is for Miller to take over the full position of Girls Team Director after a 6-12 month mentoring period by Jaquay . In addtition to heading the Girls USAG program , Miller has plans to create a TOPs Team ( Talent Opportunity Program ). This program is a talent search and educational program for female gymnasts ages 7-10 and their coaches and is a program based on skill and strength development . Miller recently had 3 of her 4 former athletes qualify for the National TOPS Testing .
