Miranda recognised with state award<\/h1>\n

LEONGATHA Gymnastics Club head coach Miranda Wilson has been recognised in the Regional Development Victoria
Leadership and Innovation Award nominations in the 2018 Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Awards.
The Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Awards started in 2002 and are designed to encourage, acknowledge and reward the valuable contributions that individuals, communities and businesses make throughout regional and rural Victoria.
The awards aim to recognise their success and achievements, which contribute to making regional Victoria a better place.
Ms Wilson has pioneered significant changes in the gymnastics club which have altered the way people think and perform for the better.
The Regional Development Victoria Leadership and Innovation Award acknowledges role models who through their leadership, innovation and driving force pave the way for others to follow.
Involved in the club for 20 years, Ms Wilson has been the backbone of many changes.
\u201cI became head coach about six years ago and since then the club has grown from around 100 members to 450 members,\u201d she said.
She has also increased the staff from five to 22.
During her time as head coach she has introduced a Youth Leadership Program, which encourages gymnasts aged 13 and older to become coaches and leaders within the club.
It is a three year program that involves one on one and group training to develop the skills of their future coaches.
\u201cI started off as a gymnast when I was eight years old and I became a coach as a teenager.
\u201cI was a little surprised when I found out I had been nominated for this award. It\u2019s nice to have what I\u2019m doing be finally recognised.\u201d
Not only is Ms Wilson a head coach, she is also a competitive coach and runs the Youth Leadership Program.
\u201cCompetitive coaching is lots of fun. It\u2019s good to see the gymnasts go off and be successful,\u201d she said.
\u201cIt\u2019s good seeing the children gain new skills. Taking them from something they can\u2019t do to when you see them finally get it is rewarding.\u201d
Award finalists will be presented and winners will be announced at an Awards Gala Presentation Dinner on Friday, October 26.<\/p>\n
