2023 youth coach of the year
Zoe Sayetta | The Cliffs
Coach Sayetta has over 15 years of coaching experience and has helped many young athletes work through fear, cultivate confidence, and maximize motivation.
In the span of just three months, Coach Sayetta has built a youth competitive rock-climbing program from scratch, which is comprised of 30 participants, ages 7 to 16, that span across the pre-competitive and competitive programs.
Over 80 percent of the athletes she coached have qualified for each USA Climbing Regionals event in Bouldering and Roped Climbing and two of her athletes are confirmed qualifiers for the Nationals event from the fall season.
As one of five Head Coaches for The Cliffs, Sayetta has made an impact far beyond her facility program. She brings a wealth of knowledge, drive, and passion to the Cliff team and has created an unbreakable culture that has improved her athletes in immeasurable ways, in and outside of the gym.
