The Future of Cal Gymanstics with Geralen Stack-Eaton

There is something truly powerful about a coach who sees more than just the athlete in front of them. Someone who understands that success is not just about medals but about growth, confidence, and character. In this week’s episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I sat down with Geralen Stack Eaton, the new head coach of Cal Gymnastics, and discovered a coaching philosophy that every athlete and parent needs to hear. Geralen’s journey from a struggling gymnast to an NCAA national champion shaped the way she leads with compassion, purpose, and resilience. What makes her story so special is how she balances high expectations with genuine care. Through her experiences at Alabama and Minnesota, she learned that true success happens when athletes feel seen and supported, not just pushed to perform. One of the biggest takeaways from our conversation was Geralen’s belief that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Whether it is overcoming performance anxiety, breaking through mental blocks, or rebuilding confidence after setbacks, she helps her athletes see obstacles as part of their transformation, not the end of the road. In this episode, I share Geralen’s inspiring journey from gymnast to national champion • Her approach to building a strong, supportive team culture • How she helps athletes turn fear into confidence • Why personal growth matters more than medals Her words are a reminder that being a great coach is about more than winning. It is about helping young people discover who they are and what they are capable of. As Geralen beautifully said, “Keep taking a step every single day to try to step outside your comfort zone. Even if it does not feel like the best day, there is always something good that can come out of every single day.” SIGN UP FOR THE 7 DAY SUPERHERO CONFIDENCE CHALLENGE! completeperformancecoaching.com/superhero FREE TRAINING Watch this free training for how to unlock your champion mindset in sport: http://completeperformancecoaching.co...
