Natalie Broekman and Brogan Evanson: Leading the Next Generation

Former BYU gymnasts and current assistant coaches Natalie Broekman and Brogan Evanson take us inside their journey from athletes to mentors, shaping the next generation of BYU gymnastics. They discuss the challenges of this season, including navigating a tougher judging system and competing against powerhouse programs like Utah, Oklahoma, and Auburn. Natalie and Brogan talk about how they are helping athletes build confidence, embrace leadership roles, and adapt under pressure, particularly in high-stakes events like beam and floor. They also reflect back on their own collegiate careers, including Natalie’s time on the U.S. national team and Brogan’s perfect 10 on floor, and how those experiences led them to become coaches today.
