Tammy McLean grew up in the sport, then raised her kids in it. Her son Austin and daughter Sydney both competed through their childhoods and now coach at ABGA. Her husband Todd coaches too. ABGA is family-owned and family-coached, built on the idea that gymnastics should make a kid stronger on the equipment and outside the gym.
