Why Calisthenics? - Jo's mother put her into calisthenics because she was terribly shy! But she is very glad she did. Jo believes that calisthenics is not only fun but also very rewarding. She has made some great friends over the years and is inspired to see the club's very talented students grow and improve.
Favourite Moments - Establishing her own club, coaching Seniors the year they won the aggregate in Ballarat and most importantly watching her daughter Teresa, dance. She is an inspiration!
Goals - To always be involved with calisthenics in some way.
- To make 'Krymzon' the best calisthenics club it can be.
- To watch her club grow in future years and look back and be proud of what she has achieved.
