Some goodbyes are harder than others… and this is definitely one of them 💜
Coach Jaycee isn’t just a coach, she’s one of Empire’s founding athletes. She helped build this program into what it is today, and over the years she grew into an incredible coach, mentor, role model, and friend. The impact she’s had on our athletes, families, and gym will be felt for years to come.
While we’re going to miss her more than words can say, we’re so proud to watch her begin this next chapter at the University of Tennessee! We know she’s going to do amazing things.
If you see Jaycee around the gym this week, be sure to wish her well! Her last day is Thursday, and if you’d like to send her off with a card, favorite treat, or small gift, we’d love to help make her last week with us extra special.
Jaycee, thank you for growing up with Empire and helping shape the family we’ve become. No matter where life takes you, you’ll always be a part of Empire. We love you, we’re proud of you, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!!
