Hamilton-Wenham High School: Generals Names New Gymnastics Coach

HAMILTON – The Athletic Department at Hamilton Wenham Regional High School has named Rebecca Brady as its new Head Coach for Gymnastics.  Brady takes over for Chris Way, who led the Generals since 2018.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Rebecca on board,” said Athletic Director Craig Genualdo.  “We’re going to miss Chris.  He was a super successful coach and is an incredible human being.  The fact Chris recommended her so highly meant a lot.”

Brady comes to the Generals with significant experience in Gymnastics as an athlete and as an instructor.  She has worked at Iron Rail Gymnastics Academy in Wenham for the last two years, working with both the competition teams and the recreational athletes.  During this time, she furthered various aspects of her coaching education through USA Gymnastics.  Prior to her stint at Iron Rail, she spent several years instructing at Off the Wall Gymnastics in Plaistow, NH.

As a collegiate athlete, Brady was a two-time All American and a Level 10 National Qualifier at Southern Connecticut State University.   The Vault specialist was named team captain during her senior year.  While in High School she led Pinkerton Academy in NH to a State Championship.

Helen Bess, who has served as an Assistant Coach for the team over the last several seasons, will continue in that role.  The Generals, who partner with Ipswich and Rockport to form the team’s roster, are coming off a successful season in which they qualified for the MIAA’s North Sectional Championships.
