August 4, Nicole Pechanec: A Gymnastic Life
Join us at the Rotary Club of Indianapolis on August 4 as we welcome Nicole Pechanec to talk about “A Gymnastic Life.”
On August 13th – 16th, the nation’s best men’s and women’s gymnasts will come to Indianapolis to compete at the 2015 P&G Championships. Performances will determine all-around and individual national champions, as well as the national team for the junior and senior elite levels. The competition comes one year before the 2016 Olympic Games therefore many of the athletes will continue on to represent our country in Rio.
As a former world-class gymnast, Nicole will share insights on what it takes to become an elite gymnast. Not all athlete’s stories are identical, but there are many similar themes in gymnastics backgrounds like moving away from home, homeschooling, and long hours of training. Nicole will also give tips on how to watch the event from a gymnast’s point of view as well as which competitors to watch for.
Nicole’s gymnastics career includes captaining her Stanford Women’s Gymnastics team to two NCAA finals, competing in three World Championships for the Czech Republic, and inventing a skill on the uneven bars under her Czech surname, Pechancova. Nicole attended Stanford University and graduated in June 2012 with a Bachelors of Science in Engineering and an Architectural Design focus. She has stayed involved in the sport as a program coordinator for USA Gymnastics, choreographer, member of the P&G Championships LOC, and associate producer for nationally televised gymnastics events for NBC.
