Ashleigh's Special Guest, Miss Kendall

On December 10th we had a fantastic interview with Miss Jessica Kendall who was Ashleigh's special guest.  Miss Kendall works at Gymnastics Inc. where Ashleigh goes after school and also takes classes.  She is an athletic trainer and helps all the cheerleaders, gymnasts, and dancers who go to Gymnastics Inc.  Miss Kendall is originally from Maine and she grew up doing a lot of skiing.  In fact, she was so good at Alpine Skiing that she attended the Jr. Olympics 9 times and even earned a gold medal.  She ended up with a shoulder injury and couldn't continue skiing so she decided to go to college.  She got her degree in Exercise and Sports Science and she also has a Master's Degree too!  Before she worked at Gymnastics Inc she used to work with many professional football teams and players.  Miss Kendall taught us how important it is for us to stretch before we exercise and she even lead us in some stretching.  She also showed us how she wraps up injuries at Gymnastics Inc too!  It was so great meeting Miss Kendall!
