A coach’s scrapbook, since 1969
Fifty years in the gym. He wrote most of it down.
Bruce Davis coached Kurt Thomas before the world knew his name, ran Gymiami for seventeen years, and has spent the last decade teaching Apollo Beach kids to tumble at Flip Flops & Fitness. Now the stories and the school share one home.
