Hi, I'm Alissa.
I've been a gymnast for as long as I can remember. I started competing when I was very little, and some of my best memories are summer practices, team sleepovers and hotel shenanigans at meets. The early mornings, the chalk on everything, the days nothing clicks, and the moment you finally stick it. I loved all of it.
Gymnastics always found its way back to me. I coached alongside my own childhood coach, then spent seven years coaching young gymnasts. I watched them work so hard, and I saw how easy it is to lose the spark when practice gets tough or a rest day rolls around. I wanted to give them something to hold onto.
That's why I started LisNastics: gear for practice, plus books and activities for the downtime in between, like my picture book The Team That Lifted Each Other.
Everything here comes from my heart for this sport. I hope it makes you smile, and I hope you keep flipping higher, dreaming bigger, and loving every minute.
Built on experience. Fueled by passion.
