When I first started gymnastics, I struggled both physically and mentally. I lacked confidence, and my fears and mental blocks often took over, stunting my progress. About a year into my gymnastics journey, I began working with Coach Tracey, and that’s when everything started to change. Under her mentorship, she helped me shift my mindset to a more positive and healthy place, leading to noticeable improvements in my performance.

Whenever I faced challenges and difficult moments in the gym, I knew Coach Tracey was there to guide me with her determination and encouraging words. She took the time to listen to my fears, concerns, and problems, never giving up until she found a way to help me overcome them. She constantly went the extra mile, using her free time to brainstorm new drills and strategies to help me and her other athletes reach our goals and overcome our fears. 

I’ll never forget a time when I had a mental block on beam so severe that it began to affect not just my gymnastics but my life outside the gym. One day, I walked into practice, dreading it because of the fear that had taken over me. Before I stepped onto the mat, Coach Tracey noticed I was off and pulled me aside. After I opened up to her, she reassured me that she would support me in overcoming this fear. Her encouraging words and faith in me motivated me to keep going. She presented me with new goals and techniques to achieve my goals. Not only did I reach my end goal, but I began to look forward to practicing again, and even love the challenges. I left practices feeling empowered and confident. I had the honor of working with Coach Tracey until I graduated, and in those years, she became not only a coach but a role model and a deeply important figure in my life. 

Coach Tracey truly cares about the well-being of all of her athletes. She gives us the time, attention, and love of a family member, teaching us to be our best on the mat and off. I know I will always be able to turn to her for guidance and advice.

I have had the privilege of knowing Tracey for four years, and she has been one of the most influential people in my daughter’s progress at Celebrate The Children. My daughter is autistic, and from the moment she was paired with Tracey in preschool and kindergarten, it was clear that she was not just a support for Harlow but a true advocate.

Tracey worked tirelessly to ensure my daughter had every opportunity to reach her full potential. Through her unwavering dedication, she created an environment where my daughter felt loved, nurtured, and safe—allowing her to truly engage in ways we never imagined possible. Her patience, compassion, and ability to connect with children are nothing short of extraordinary.

I cannot express enough gratitude for all that Tracey has done for our family. She is truly amazing, and any child lucky enough to work with her is in the best hands possible.

My daughter has been involved in gymnastics for over 12 years, and Coach Tracey was
her first coach in competitive gymnastics. From the start, Coach Tracey had a unique and
special way of working with her, helping her build confidence, even when faced with new
and challenging skills. What truly stood out was Coach Tracey’s genuine care for her
students—not just in their gymnastics development, but in their overall growth as
individuals. She instilled in the athletes the importance of persistence and the willingness
to push past their limits.
Coach Tracey nurtured my daughter’s love for gymnastics and played an integral role in
helping her become the gymnast she is today. We are incredibly grateful for the positive
impact Coach Tracey had on my daughter’s journey, both as an athlete and as a person.

I am truly honored to write this letter of recommendation for Tracey Belcak as she embarks on this incredible journey of launching her online gymnastics coaching program. I had the pleasure of working with Tracey at Celebrate the Children, which is a school for students with alternative learning styles for five years as a paraprofessional in my classroom and have remained close friends with her for the past seven years. I can confidently say that her hard work, dedication, patience, creativity, reliability, and expertise will make her an invaluable coach to her program and enhance the lives of gymnasts and their families.

Throughout our time working together, I have witnessed Tracey create safe and trusting relationships with each student. She helped foster an environment where each child felt loved, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. She demonstrated an understanding of each student’s unique profile and came up with creative ideas and strategies to help them succeed. She also had a strong willingness and desire to collaborate with other educators, therapists, and parents through a holistic approach.

What truly sets Tracey apart is her ability to foster and maintain meaningful relationships. The families she has worked with over the years have remained a constant presence in her life which is a true testament to the deep impact she has on those she teaches and supports. Parents trust her wholeheartedly and children thrive under her guidance.

Tracey has a unique ability to bring joy and encouragement to any situation. She has the most infectious energy, positivity, excitement, and enthusiasm which comes from her extensive background in gymnastics and cheerleading. She was always my anchor in the classroom and someone I could rely on during challenging moments. No matter how tricky the day became, I could always look to her and she would get me through it with her unwavering support and contagious smile. Her presence always made a difference not just for me, but for every student and family she worked with.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey and am confident in the success of her program. She is an extraordinary person with an unmatched ability to inspire, teach, coach, and uplift those around her.

We have been incredibly fortunate to have Coach Tracey in our lives for
eight years. She has coached two of my daughters with dedication, skill, and
genuine care. From the very beginning, she built a strong, trusting
relationship with them—one that helped them grow not just as gymnasts, but
as confident young women.
Coach Tracey has a remarkable ability to balance encouragement with high
expectations, always pushing the girls to do their best while making sure
they felt supported every step of the way. Her passion for the sport and
commitment to her athletes is truly inspiring. She has been more than a
coach—she’s been a mentor, a motivator, and a positive role model.

I cannot thank Tracey enough for the impact she had on my daughter’s
life. Working with a child with autism requires patience, understanding,
and heart—and Tracey brought all of that and more every single day.
Tracey took the time to truly connect with my child, to see her for who
she is, and to support her in ways that made her feel safe, capable, and
valued. Because of her dedication and care, my daughter made incredible
progress—not just in her skills, but in her confidence and happiness, too.
What Tracey gave our family was more than support—it was hope,
kindness, and a sense of partnership that we will always be grateful for.
She made a lasting difference in our lives, and we’ll never forget.
I highly recommend Tracey to any family who is looking for someone
who really cares for their child, she will meet them where they are and
help them thrive. Her compassion, consistency and skills make her an
incredible asset to any child’s journey.
