💙 THANK YOU & GOOD LUCK, ELEANOR! 💙
Tonight we said a very fond farewell to our wonderful coach, Eleanor. 🥹💕
Eleanor has been such an integral part of our coaching team for many years, and it’s safe to say she will be very greatly missed!
As a Level 2 coach, Eleanor has supported our recreational gymnasts and Development squad, as well as being a much-loved member of our display team. She is the kind of coach who quietly gets on with everything — always calm, caring and dependable, and always willing to step in and help wherever she’s needed. 💙
Eleanor is such a lovely person and a fabulous coach. Her kind and caring nature means the gymnasts absolutely adore her, and she has made such a positive difference to so many of them over the years. 🤸♀️✨
We’re incredibly proud of her as she heads off to university to gain a qualification in SEN education, building on her experience as a SEN teaching assistant. We know she’ll be absolutely brilliant at it! 🎓💫
And, of course, we couldn’t say goodbye without mentioning her other great love… Formula 1! 🏎️😂 We’re sure she’ll be keeping a close eye on McLaren and Lando Norris in between her studies!
Eleanor, thank you for all your hard work, your reliability, your kindness and for being such a wonderful part of our team. We’ve been so lucky to have you. 💙
We wish you the very best for this exciting next chapter — and we have a feeling you’ll be back to visit us before we know it! 🥰
Good luck, Eleanor! You’ll always be part of the Upstarts family. 💙🤸♀️
