Mandy Miller

Gymnastics General Manager

Mandy came to us in 2018 from Kurt Thomas Gymnastics in Frisco, TX. Coach Mandy was the Compulsory Team Director and coached Level 4/5 bars, beam and floor, as well as Level 7 bars and beam. Kurt Thomas Gymnastics was distinguished as the Texas State Compulsory Program of the Year in 2014 and 2015, and garnered the only 10’s awarded at the Level 4 2013 and 2014 State Competition, as well as the 2016 Level 5 State Competition.  All on bars. 

Her time in Texas began at WOGA Gymnastics where she assisted developing the recreational program at their then new facility in Frisco, as well as developing and coaching their team program. 

Coach Mandy is not a stranger to Gulf Breeze Gymnastics. She was the Team Head Coach upon opening in 2005 and was an integral part of designing our current facility.

She grew up in Pennsylvania where she was a gymnast for 15 years and competed level 10/collegiate.  A fun fact is her mom was a coach as well and largely responsible for inspiring her coaching aspirations.

She met and married Coach Paul in Texas in June of 2017. They welcomed their son Elijah Jaye in August of 2018.

While Coach Mandy loves creating flawless gymnastics, it is the journey and the life skills along the way that she embraces most.  She loves helping gymnasts go as far as they dream to go in the sport, along with pushing them to achieve more than even they thought possible. 

She is happy and excited to have returned “home” to Gulf Breeze Gymnastics to continue the vision it was built on: to become a premier gymnastics training facility.
