✨ Coach Hitomi’s Journey in Rhythmic Gymnastics
Coach Hitomi’s(SRG head coach) passion for rhythmic gymnastics began at the age of 7, when she first saw the sport on television. That moment sparked a lifelong love that only deepened with time. Although her path took a different turn—earning a degree in Business Administration in Tokyo and later working as an SDET at Microsoft as a full time employee(MSFT)—she eventually returned to the sport in 2013, after a 15-year break.
With a strong foundation in both rhythmic gymnastics and dance, Hitomi is a dedicated believer in positive coaching. She sees medals not as the only outcome, but as one of many rewards that come from helping children lead brighter, more meaningful lives through sport.
Her commitment to the sport has recently expanded into judging. Despite her overseas residency, she was selected by the Japan Gymnastics Federation as one of the country’s representatives to become an International Brevet Judge. In March 2025, she passed the FIG International Judge Exam with all “Excellent” scores, skipping Category 4 and earning Brevet Category 3 status. She also passed the 2025 DVP Judge Exam with the highest score in the nation. She has also been invited by the USA Gymnastics National Committee to judge at the USA Gymnastics Elite Championships for five consecutive years and is currently one of the highest-ranked rhythmic gymnastics judges in the country.
A Family-Oriented Coach
Outside the gym, Hitomi is a proud and devoted mother of two. She enjoys spending time with her family and brings warmth, compassion, and a global perspective to her coaching. Fluent in both English and Japanese, she serves as a bridge between cultures in the gymnastics community
🌟Coach Joyce
Coach Joyce is a former Level 10 rhythmic gymnast with a strong background in both athletics and academics. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Washington—one of the top-ranked programs in the nation.
Known for her warm and caring personality, Joyce is deeply responsible, kind to others, and holds herself to high standards. Her dedication, discipline, and compassion make her a wonderful role model for our young gymnasts. She has been coaching 10+ years, currently in her 4th year in SRG.
🌟 Coach Josie
Coach Josie brings a rich background in both dance and rhythmic gymnastics. From 2016 to 2018, she proudly represented Seattle Rhythmic Gymnastics as an athlete. In 2019, she achieved the remarkable distinction of becoming the Level 7 Regional Champion. After retiring from competition in 2019, Josie transitioned into coaching and now shares her expertise with both our Recreational Program and Xcel Team gymnasts(currently her 7th year coaching in SRG). In addition to her coaching skills, she is fluent in English and proficient in American Sign Language (ASL). Her ability to communicate seamlessly using both speech and signing creates an inclusive and welcoming environment for hearing and non-hearing children alike.
Josie is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Psychology at Seattle University. Her interest in understanding people through scientific approaches is reflected in her coaching style, which is grounded in positive, evidence-based methods. She also supports our entire SRG coaching team by sharing professional insights and up-to-date techniques in positive coaching, helping us ensure every child receives the best possible guidance and care..
