Guard Young has coached BYU’s gymnastics team since 2015, but he jokes is feels like he is heading into just his first year as a coach.
“Those first four years felt like schooling,” he said. “I had a lot of on the job training and now I’m starting.”
Young spent his first years building up the Cougars into a consistently strong program. The 2019 season ended with a lot of promise as the Cougars finished ranked No. 21 and Young named as the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference coach of the Year while Shannon Evans was named the conference’s gymnast of the year.
