๐ A huge congratulations to Emilie Allen from Pontypridd for clinching the Young Person of the Year award at the British Gymnastics Awards! ๐

Emilie, a member of the Valleys Gymnastics Academy, is being celebrated for her outstanding contributions to the gymnastics community. Her dedication goes beyond her own training as she passionately devotes over 30 hours per week to coaching young gymnasts, bringing positivity and encouragement to every session. ๐
Despite her busy training schedule, Emilie is already paving the way as a remarkable leader. She’s not only preparing for her Level 1 coaching qualification but is also enhancing her skills through courses on neurodivergence, first aid, and adaptive cheerleading with Team Wales. Plus, she’s shaping futures with her โfit and fedโ community sessions and even took her talents to Ghana, teaching gymnastics and English to children. ๐

Emilieโs compassion and leadership are leaving a lasting impact, inspiring everyone around her to dream big and work hard. Her story is a powerful reminder that you’re never too young to make a difference, showing just how leadership and kindness can transform lives. ๐ช
British Gymnastics CEO Sarah Powell praised this yearโs award finalists for their dedication and the positive changes they’re bringing to the sport and communities. Congratulations to Emilie and all the other inspiring nominees! ๐

Let’s celebrate these achievements and support our local heroes making a difference in the world of gymnastics. ๐
