As the 2024 college gymnastics season was kicking off, I had the unique opportunity to sit down with long-time coach Byron Knox. With decades of experience, Coach Knox has not only witnessed but has been an integral part of the evolution of college gymnastics. His legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of the sport, and his contributions have helped shape the history of collegiate gymnastics in ways few others can claim. A true pioneer, his insights into the sport, the challenges faced, and the moments that define its legacy make him an invaluable figure in the gymnastics community—one whose impact stretches far beyond the competition floor.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Co-Head Coach Ryan Roberts to discuss all things Gymdogs and the University of Georgia. Ryan and his coaching staff boast impressive accolades across the sport of gymnastics, spanning the developmental, NCAA, and Olympic levels. Ryan serves as Co-Head Coach alongside Cécile Canqueteau-Landi, who is not only a former developmental coach but is also renowned as Simone Biles’ coach and an Olympian herself. With such an experienced staff, UGA is certainly in good hands!

Gustavus Head Gymnastics coach, Aryn DeGrood and I had a great conversation at the beginning of the 2024 season, where we discussed the vision she has for the team. I know it has been a while since I last posted and this episode was during the 2024 season but the insights can still relate today. Please enjoy!
