Gymnastics has played a role in my life for 32 years. I have a husband John, and daughter Samantha who is 12 years old. I am constantly reminded of why I love Gymnastics. Every day I am excited to share my experience and expertise with one of the best programs in the country. My love for children and learning is something I am very proud of.

Gymnastics has always been a big part of my life. Starting when I was 3 years old I participated in gymnastics classes and continued until I was on team. I competed up to level 7 at Bay Island Gymnastics; and at the end of my career I was training level 8. I began training gymnastics when I was 14 and continued up to this day. I also continued gymnastics when attending the University of California Davis. I was a member of their gymnastics club and competed in the NAIGC nationals in 2011. I graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor of science degree in Animal Science. I hope to continue my education in the medical sciences in the future.

Hi my name is Jenna Cobb and I am 25 years old. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I started gymnastics when I was three years old with my Mother as my instructor as she was a gymnastics coach. When my brother started playing football I wanted to become a cheerleader.
So at the age of five I began cheerleading with Pal Almaden Cheerleading. I continued cheerleading for the next four years and then I moved onto Almaden Spirit All Star Team. We held the record for most competitions won in the northern region. I then moved on to cheering for my middle school The Brett Harte Broncos. After 8th grade I became a Popwarner Cheerleader for the Santa Theresa Bulldogs All Star Team. We took 1st place two times in National competitions.
From 2005 to 2007 I was a professional NFL Gold Rush Cheerleader for the San Francisco 49'ers. In 2007 I began cheerleading for the Oakland Raiders. The Raiderettes were considered Footballs most fabulous females. With my previous experience I hope to help young girls to meet their goals in cheerleading.
I was born and raised in San Jose Ca. From a very early age I was interested in Gymnastics. As I got older I realized sports and fitness would play a huge part in my life. I started football and baseball at 5 years old and continued to play through college. In high school I was award 1st Team All League Running Back.
Academically I have always been an over achiever, making the Deans list every semester in college. I have a passion for working with children and plan to major in communications.
Besides coaching gymnastics, I am a fitness trainer at a Health Club and full time student. I enjoy bike riding, fitness training and spending time with my family. I am dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle!
