Eric Rossi is a parkour coach and preschool teacher in Hillsboro, Oregon. Eric began his parkour journey in 2005 and has since worked with many different organizations to develop his coaching craft. He helped develop the toddler and preschool age programs as head coach of High Exposure from 2015 - 2017, helped strengthen the Melbourne Parkour classes for kids in Australia, and is currently developing programs with The Movement Park in Hillsboro, OR. Eric's current project involves distilling the knowledge and best practices around child development and classroom management to be shared in a structured way with the parkour coaching community. Eric hopes that this work will help inspire, improve, and grow early childhood movement classes across other gyms and parkour organizations while also helping those coaches involved see themselves as valued Early Childhood Movement Education experts in their community.
