Our Story
Who We Are
Summit Athletix was born out of a passion for training athletes for the journey of life. Our staff has spent years in many different business and competitive sports environments. We love training athletes but more importantly, we want our athletes to understand the lessons we are teaching do not apply exclusively to tumbling or all star cheer. These lessons are life lessons. Our vision is to intentionally train athletes to develop life skills – and ultimately faith – through their journey as an athlete.
Background
From Coach Lacy:
“I am a Leader by nature. I am a Coach by heart. I learned how to explain concepts to others at a very early age. I was a competitive gymnast and cheerleader in my childhood, but started coaching when I was 16. Over the years I have lead children and adults in many different environments but most importantly – parenting. As I began raising my kids, coaching others took a backseat.
As my daughter was introduced to competitive cheerleading, I returned to coaching. The sport was intriguing because it incorporated the sports of cheerleading and gymnastics while emphasizing a team environment.
As I learned more about competitive cheerleading I determined there was no other sport that compared. Regardless of whether our athletes choose cheerleading, tumbling or recreational classes, I believe the concepts that are taught – even inadvertently – are priceless.
My husband and I were busy raising our own kids to embody the concepts of perseverance, dedication, responsibility and purpose. Competitive cheer was a natural fit to continue fostering those lessons. I want the kids I coach to develop the same skills myown kids learned. Those lessons are priceless and develop faith in Jesus.
As adults and leaders it is our responsibility to raise the next generation to know how to work together to achieve a goal. They have to learn perseverance, dedication and responsibility to themselves and others. Our kids are going to struggle through employment, marriage and raising their own kids if they do not learn these lessons. My highest priority as a gym owner is to provide an environment where athletes will be guided through these lessons while ultimately developing their faith in Jesus Christ.
I am honored to take this journey with you and your athlete!”
