Youssef Mahgoub
Xcel Siver/ Gold Girls Team Coach and Recreational Instructor
I have been a coach at Noha’s Gymnastics Since 2017. At first I started coaching summer camps mostly to make some money as a young teenager. As I grew, I began to invest in sharing what I believe are the keys to becoming a successful gymnast; form, technique, air awareness, and mentality. My favorite event to coach for both men and women is bars. Although I love coaching, my journey as an athlete in the gym prior to coaching is not over yet! I started gymnastics in mommy and me classes at only 18 months of age. I struggled to join the team for multiple years and even repeated level 5. As I continued
throughout my journey, I won first place at the Massachusetts state championships as a level 7 in 2015 and second place at regional championships the same year! After this experience, I struggled for a few years until I won first place at the New Hampshire State Championships as a level 10 in 2020. After many years worth of attempts, in 2021 I finally qualified to my first ever National Championships as a senior where I placed 32nd in the country. My highest scoring event has always been Pommel Horse but it is far from my favorite. My favorite event always was, and always will be, High Bar. I love feeling the wind as I swing around the bar and I also love the thrilling feeling of the dangers that is High Bar. Outside of the gym, I am a full time student at Southern New Hampshire University and like to use my free time to fix and modify cars. My other hobbies include drawing/ coloring, outdoor sports with friends, writing poems and music, and collecting shoes.
