Irodanka "Dani" Kovatcha
My name is Irodanka Kovatchka, I am the head coach of the Rhythmic Gymnastics department at the Ecke YMCA.
Before I became a rhythmic gymnastics coach I had a successful professional athletic career as a member of the Bulgarian national team. As a part of the Bulgarian national team I had earned two European championship gold medals, One world cup gold medal, and One world championship gold medal.
I have been coaching for the past 25 years in rhythmic gymnastics. I have coached in Spain, Bulgaria, and for the past 13 years in the U.S., at various different gyms.
During my time in the U.S.A I have worked with a lot of young athletes who became very successful pro-athletes, two of which are Monica and Jennifer Rockhman. They became apart of the U.S. national team and have competed in the World Cup Championships, Pan American Games, and competed in the 2016 Summer Olympic games representing the USA group national team. I have many generations of kids that have started from a young age under my training and have been participating at many invitational, state, and regional competitions. From the dedication of my athletes and myself, I had been awarded best coach of the year for Region 1 and was voted best coach overall for USAG at national championships.
