Temple mens gymnastics started in 1926….Jesse has done a fantastic job bridging the gap between athletic dept. funded and independently funded programs. There is a coalition of these programs (ASU, UW, etc.) called “gymACT” who are striving to compete at the highest levels (ASU gymnasts at USAG Nationals last year to qualify for National team), and to GROW mens college gymnastics in the USA by ADDING programs. Jesse and his team are a tremendous example of what’s possible and DOABLE to save and grow the sport at a high level!
