Paris Bland
Boy's Gymnastics Program Director and Team Coach
Advice to students:
"Enjoy what you do and work hard."
Paris has been coaching gymnastics for 10 years, and has been here at USA for the last 7. He likes the fun atmosphere and says it is an exciting place to work.
Paris competed in men’s gymnastics for 15 years, is a 15-time All- American, and was the 2005 Collegiate National Champion at ASU in 2005. Also, he invented 2 skills during his gymnastics career: The Paris Wheel and the Blandstand.
In his free time, Paris enjoys playing basketball and football, and spending time with his family. He has a 1 year old at home, so he says a lot of that time is spent changing diapers. He also likes to watch movies and his hero is Coach Anthony, a.k.a. Juicebox.
