USA Gymnastics Names Mazeika as Men’s National Team Coordinator


USAG has announced that Kevin Mazeika will be the new National Team Coordinator for the U.S. Men. Since the announcement that Ron Brandt would be stepping down as National Team Coordinator to accept a position at the USOTC, the search began for a new leader responsible for overall management and supervision of the technical aspects of the Men's National Team for both junior and senior elite programs.

 

Mazeika has been Head Coach of the U.S Men for the past 2 Olympic Games where for the first time in history, the U.S. Men won team medals in back-to-back Olympics.  He also served as Head Coach for the 2007, 2003 and 2001 World Championships Teams. The men took home the team silver in both 2003 and 2001. Mazeika resides in Houston where he is the men's program manager for the Houston Gymnastics Academy and owns Mazeika's Elite Gymnastics. Throughout the years he's been the personal Coach to Raj Bhavsar, Sean Golden, Sean Townsend, and Todd Thornton.
