111 years ago when I was only 10 years
old, my family was bushwacked and
scalped by the Pyute Indians. But they
treated us m good. They fit us boiled
dog. I'm 67.
>> You really are a clown.
>> My whole life.
I am their number one gymnastics coach
for New Square in Monroe. Believe it or
not, the world ofum in Monroe and New
Square that type is changing. It's
incredible. 70% of my students are
kidish and 70% of those are adults. It's
a dream come true for them. They always
wanted it. They could never do it.
There's a difference between a good
teacher and a good coach. Teacher
teaches. A coach also teaches, but he
also is a brother, a father, a friend.
He's a mentor. He's everything. That's a
real coach, not just a teacher. Yishi Ta
from Japan, four-time world champion. He
was our gymnastics teacher, but I would
never call him a coach because he was an
anti-semite and he was abusive
specifically to me. He never said
anything Jewish, but if you want me to
get into it, it gets pretty dark. You
know what that's called? That is called
trauma. That affected the whole
direction of my life.
