Alabama Student to Appear on American Ninja Warrior!

Yesterday, I attended my daughter's gymnastics meet and though I beamed with pride as she completed each position, the news her coach gave me at the end of the meet was even more exciting.

Coach Casey, as he is called at Tuscaloosa Tumbling Tides, talked to me about my daughter's advancement in the sport and then let me in on the fact that he's going to be competing on American Ninja Warrior on June 1st!

My daughter and I watch this show ALL THE TIME!

I immediately made note of it on my calendar and told him we'd be looking for it.

A statement from the University of Alabama says, Coach Casey (Casey Suchocki) is a civil engineering student at the University of Alabama. While in Tuscaloosa, he trains at Tumbling Tides; but when he goes home to Montgomery, he trains on an obstacle course in his grandfather's back yard.

This reminds me of how my daughter will use ANYTHING she can to practice gymnastics at home. Maybe I need to be making preparations for a home gym, too. Whatever the case, we will be parked in front of the tv at 7 p.m. on June 1.
