Eastern Michigan University women's gymnastics head coach Sarah Brown announced today, Sept. 6, that the Eagles have hired Dallas Becerra as the team's new assistant coach. Becerra will officially begin his duties as assistant coach today.
"I'm thrilled to have Dallas on board here at EMU," exclaimed Brown. "I've known him for many years, and I'm excited about his enthusiasm for our team and the sport of gymnastics. Dallas will bring a wealth of knowledge on bars, and his spotting ability will be an asset to the team. He will also be a great addition to our recruiting efforts, and I look forward to supporting his transition into collegiate gymnastics."
Becerra comes to Ypsilanti following a year-long stint at AIM Gymnastics Training Center in The Woodlands, Texas. There, Becerra worked as the team's primary uneven bars coach. Specifically, he developed a new training system for optional-level gymnasts on bars, in addition to being the main spotter for level 10 and elite gymnasts on floor and bars. Finally, Becerra also assisted in creating conditioning circuits to help the overall fitness of his gymnasts.
Before coaching at AIM Gymnastics, Becerra worked as the women's optional assistant team coach at American Kids Sports Center in Bakersfield, Calif. There, he assumed interim head coaching duties for a period of time while the head coach was unavailable. He also oversaw and directed all levels of gymnastics, all the way from compulsory through optional. Becerra also implemented the TOPS program for the gym, recruiting gymnasts into the program based on physical abilities and flexibility.
Becerra got his coaching start at FlipzUSA Gymnastics in Columbia, Mo., serving as the women's optional coach. As the optional coach, Becerra created daily workout plans and drills for optional gymnasts, ranging from level eight through level 10. Overall, he was able to provide a safe environment at practice for all athletes, utilizing spotting techniques learned at coaching clinics.
In his four years coaching, Becerra has amassed an impressive list of coaching accomplishments. In 2016, Becerra had the top ranked level seven team in the country, while in 2015, he sent two gymnasts to Western Nationals.
Becerra earned his Bachelor's of science in parks, recreation, and tourism with an emphasis in sport management at the University of Missouri in 2013.
