Jeff Vanyek
Boy's and Girl's Team and Recreational Gymnastics Coach
Advice to students:
“If you think you can or can’t, either way you are right!”
Jeff has been coaching here at USA Gymnastics for 21 years! He has coached pretty much everything at this point, but currently coaches our boy’s team primarily. He really enjoys helping gymnasts to reach their potential. His background includes several years in gymnastics participating in a Junior Olympic Program and going on to compete at a college level.
From Prospect Heights, IL, Jeff moved out to Arizona to attend ASU and compete on the men’s gymnastics team there. Aside from coaching these days, he also works as an elementary school teacher. In fact, we hear, “hey, that coach teaches at my school!” a lot from our students.
In his free time, Jeff enjoys anything that has to do with physical fitness, especially water-skiing. He enjoys reading Harry Potter and would like to tell his students to, “always do your best!”
