Growing up around gymnastics her whole life, it is only natural that Polina would make a great coach.  Watching and learning gymnastics from her parents, Sergey & Anna, give her the opportunity to share that with other gymnasts here at Popov.  After her many years as a high level gymnast came to a close, coaching was her next step.  We are so happy that she has decided to stay and continue to work with our athletes.

Misha Popov

The boys know how to have fun and Misha makes sure that fun is mixed in with lots of opportunity to succeed in the gym.  Misha also grew up in the gym and watched and learned from his parents, Sergey & Anna.  He not only coaches for Popov, but brings back lots to the table with his other sports, hockey and football.  The boys really look up to him and we are happy that he is still hanging around with us.
