Passionate about this project from the "STICK".

Hi, I'm Emma.

I spend 30 hours a week in the gym. Between ripping my hands on bars, chasing tenths on beam, and trying to stick my dismounts, gymnastics is my entire life. But when I looked online, I realized that regular social media wasn't built for us. It can be toxic, distracting, and honestly, a little scary.

I originally just wanted to build a secure app where my fellow gymnasts and I could converse, socialize, and share our training videos privately. I wanted a place where we could celebrate new skills and support each other without worrying about cyberbullying, fake accounts, or strangers.

But as I was mapping out this private video-sharing space, I realized something huge:

this is exactly what college recruiters need to see.

I started doing some research and found out that there was nothing out there specifically for college coaches to recruit gymnasts. The process of cold-emailing YouTube links and Google Drive folders to D1 coaches was completely broken.

So, I pivoted. I decided to build a public—but verified—section of the app. A place that takes all those practice clips and automatically turns them into a living College Recruiting Resume to showcase our videos, scores, and meets.

I have been passionate about this project from the "stick." The Chalk Circle gives us our safe space back, while giving college scouts a direct line to our work ethic.
