Maddie is all those things and more. She's had a great upbringing and seems to not take the whole thing for granted.
A story......many many years ago when my 11 year old was about 6 we were sitting upstairs during Sr Elite practice and she was just walking around socializing like she does with all the mama's and she stops to talk to SG. (Maddie's Mom) They're talking and my little "Brags" that she has learned to do a robhstuck. Now, to a parent on Sr Elite you might think Oh that's not a big deal but SG listened to little bit and made such a big deal over the tuck like it was the best thing she'd heard all day. After that she would always ask Rea about her tumbling and what she was working on now and she passed some sports bra's down to Rea (among other cool things) and really just made my little one feel like a million bucks. She didn't have to do that. She didn't know us at all but that's just the kind of person she is. I tell many people this and it's true........SG is 1 of the most genuine people I have ever met and when she talks to you she makes you feel like you were the most important person she talked to all day. That is a gift. (NG isn't bad either. Way back in the day little was doing a Tiny stunt group competition at this little bitty high school in the middle of BFE. They dropped her and her tooth went through her bottom lip and she started to bleed all over the place. While we're cleaning her up and getting some ice from concession he comes over to look at it and make sure she's ok and tell me what to do for it. It really wasn't that serious but I appreciated the gesture more then I could say)
Moral of the story......the G's are good people and it doesn't surprise me that BOTH their daughters have grown up to be good people too.

The next generation I'd say would've been Flea, Ty, Bucky, and Santwon in my book. Before all of them,... James, Misty, Brad and Angela. Before I cheered on their teams I was intimidated by their celebrity status! haha.
